Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody

Incredible Windshield that can blend in anywhere. Great hood, great fit and should always be with you.

I love this jacket, it was perfect for an added layer for hikes in summer and fall, when the weather was too warm for a thicker jacket but just needed to keep that wind chill at bay. I was surprised at how effective it is at protecting from the wind given how lightweight it is. Love the colour too! As usual Arcteryx comes through with fantastic quality and style!

I bought this item at the start of climbing season and have used it for the majority of the outdoor summer season. The jacket has held up well and continues to perform as it should! Great product.

Bought this jacket for running but wear it everywhere. Just enough to keep you warm in the 50's and stay dry in light rain.

This jacket is super lightweight and packs into the front pocket. Offers a good amount of wind/rain protection for the weight. I wear it year-round and never leave for a trip without packing it into my backpack pocket. It saves me from freezing to death on my plane rides every time I travel somewhere warm where I otherwise wouldn't have a jacket on me.

bought my Squamish to fulfil a very particular need: a superlight jacket to wear over a light fleece. To be honest, the sizing options aren't perfect for this. This jacket is designed to go over a base layer, like a hooded wind shirt, really. The xl fiit over a tshirt perfectly for example BUT I ended up going for the slx for my purpose. It is maybe a bit long and a bit baggy as a result. So why 5 stars? Because this is undoubtedly the best, most breathable, wind jacket I've found, by a mile. The fabric breathes so well it is incredible, and feels fantastic, not kind of plasticky like some (still very good)competitors. It shrugs off light precipitation like a champ too. I can't mark it down just because I chose to size up for a use that the jacket isn't really designed forbut if arcteryx made a slightly less fitted jacket of this material, I'd be on it in a flash. Would be an awesome bike jacket, too, in the smaller size. I may just have to get another.

Debated adding this to my closet for a while and glad I decided to get it. It's trim fitting but fits TTS if you're not layering much. Really useful in the fall season so far when it's sunny but windy or when the weather changes quickly. Great early transitional piece! Only wish the wrists were adjustable as they're a bit long on me (5'5") and won't stop the wind in the sleeves.

got this a month ago and it's perfect for i'm between seasons especially when it rains. i just wish it had side pockets and it was a little thicker but it's perfect for warmer rainy days

Perfect light weight jacket. Compressed down very small which is perfect for hikes. Very durable! Highly recommend!

I love this jacket, I use it for climbing in slightly colder weather, biking, and just walking around in the city. It's a perfect windbreaker

I baught this jacket for my trail running kit but i end up using it for pretty much all outdoor activities. It keeps you protected from the wind without hearing you up. What I particularly like is the fact that when you use the hood to protect yor hed from the wind you can still clearly understand people that are walking behind younon a single trail. Don't expect any water protection, bit thats ok, Arc'teryx doesn't claim it does.

So small yet so mighty, I love my Squamish Hoody. Especially for mountain biking. It fits in my hip pack, offers protection from the wind, rain and doesn't hinder my movements. It's also a great addition for warm spring touring days to cut the wind and offer sun protection. It's so small - rude not to bring with you!

This jacket is as light and pack-able as it gets. I use it primarily for mountain biking, cross country skiing and running as a wind shell for a little extra added warmth. Even though it's small in weight, it makes a big difference when you need it. It's held up super well to the dirt and elements of mountain biking!

Super versatile piece of kit! Works great as a standalone breathable windbreaker and as a layering piece. I recently wore this on top of a base layer for a few 14ers here in CO and it kept me comfortable even in ripping wind while still being extremely breathable. Can also easily throw a puffy on over it to create a nice insulating layer. Really happy with this purchase, for the weight, its a no brainer to carry everywhere.

I have several of this windshirt and use them every day every season. It blocks wind effectively, and forms the perfect barrier against bugs, unless it's very humid out. In the winter I sometimes strip down to just this layer over a tank top, when expending a lot of energy hiking. In the summer, it cuts the chill when the sun drops. It's so lightweight that I truly never leave home without it. I stuff one in my handbag when I am out and about in the city. It sheds a light rain or sea spray as well.

I have owned the Squamish for around 6 months now, testing it in a variety of conditions/environments/activities. It surpassed all expectations in every one. Trail-running in the winter? Great. Backpacking in sand dunes in Colorado? Amazing. Tracking grizzlies in light snow/rain? Still dry and still warm. Windproof and the DWR applied to this garment makes it better than most rain jackets from lesser brands. The durability of the face fabric made me choose this over the Patagonia Houdini. Will be buying another one as soon as possible.

Love this hoody! It protects me from the wind and rain and it super light weight. I have it in my pack at all time. Great investment!

I have bougth my second in a new color So satifice with this type of wind jacket.

Grabbed this jacket for climbing and to have as a lightweight shell for running/ski touring. Wanted something that I could throw in the pack that wouldn't take up too much space or add too much extra weight and this guy fits the bill. Is also a lot more durable than expected too, especially for how thin/light it is!

Have used 5 times on 30km bike commute in Vancouver. Super wind resistance and wicks sweat. Haven't hit rain yet. Chest pocket well thought out for phone and keys. Good job. Super light. Don't let sticker shock deter you.

Bought this windbreaker recently and have already used it more than expected. It breaths super well and the fabric feels way more comfortable next to the skin than other windproofs I've worn from other brands. It's shielded me from some blustery and drizzly weather whilst out on my mountain bike, and whilst it's not marketed as a bike specific layer, it has a long enough tail to stop any uncomfortable gaps on my backend and the hood fits comfortably over a helmet. It also looks great! So I've worn it for some breezy afternoons in the beer garden too. One thing to be aware of is the photos online don't quite match the colors. I ordered the red looking jacket and it's actually more of a burnt orange. No problem for me, but just an FYI.

It fits nearly perfect which prompted concern that when layering it wouldn't work, I was wrong. When I'm wearing layers underneath the jacket it feels like I'm wearing one jacket. Plus when it is a great jacket for warmer weather as well given it's very light weight design. Great product!!
