Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody

This jacket is great. I always struggled with summer days where the morning is still chilly. Taking a jacket could be such a burden. This is ideal on my commute or on hikes as you can get your body temperature up, and then just throw it in your bag. So light that you won't notice it. For me, it has a perfect balance between breathability and wind breaking abilities. I tend to heat up quickly, and this jacket doesn't suffocate. A true must-have.

This is the best windbreaker I could imagine! I use it for mountain biking, back packing, mountaineering and sailing in Southern California. Really breathable when you have high intensity exercise and and worm and soft at the same time. In combination with light puff or fleece this is great winter jacket for sunny winter accents. I bring this jacket on every trip now

I bought this jacket for my wife and she loves how packable and light weight it is. It's perfect for those windy summer days and cool summer nights. The only thing missing that would make it truly excellent would be if it had side pockets. My wife says it's especially ideal for women because women's shorts and pants don't always have pockets or they're too small so jacket pockets are pretty crucial.

I love this jacket. I wear it for anything I am doing. The rain beads off nicely and it's light enough that you won't overheat in the summer. Best jacket I have owned by far!

After trying to decide between a few light, packable jackets I decided on the Squamish Hoody. It has come with me on every trail run and hike I have gone on this summer because Colorado weather is so unpredictable and it has not failed me so far! From chilly early morning to high alpine rain storms, this light little jacket has done awesome for me. I am also super happy with the fit, slightly slim and nice, and the color I got was the orange and its amazing < 3 Cant wait to keep growing my Arc'teryx collection

I have the gamma, Squamish, and sigma(useto) and I wear the Squamish way more then any other soft shell. I have dragged over rocks and slid down hills in it expecting it to be shredded, but it remains in great shape.. it breathes well and it's also decently warm and knocks the wind down as intended.. it'll shed some light rain but soaked through if it really pours. On good weather days it comes with me as my only extra layer But it's difficult to pack it when I'm going fast and light in alpine conditions when I'm bringing a hard shell and an insulated jacket.. it has replaced a fleece/thicker base layer a few times on these trips.. love the jacket.. comes on my longer runs too in cooler temps

A must have windbreaker. Really packable. Sheds light rain, but not waterproof. I use it lots in Whistler in spring, summer and fall.

My husband lost this jacket while we were in Italy. He has talked about it every day since we got home. He loved this jacket and said it was so useful! My son and I got him a new one for Father's Day! Hopefully he is surprised!

I suggest this jacket if you bike around March-April or September October. You never know when the wind will start. This jacket isolates the wind and you never feel cold. The best part is you never feel hot either. You just feel how it suppose to be. When it is too hot, I pack it to my jersey pocket. It gets that small.

This is by far the most versatile piece of Arcteryx clothing I own. I use this all season - from the skin track in winter to spring & fall MTB riding, summer hiking and even the office. The fit is superb (6ft, 170lbs, size medium) to wear with just a t-shirt, light fleece (Patagonia R1) or Atom LT vest. I love this jacket so much I bought 3 - orange & blue for outdoors adventures and dark gray for the office.

Super duper awesome light wind resistant for anything and everything. Would recommend!

I have only been using this jacket for just beyond a month now and I have nothing but great things to say about it. Super light layer that does a great job of blocking out moderately high winds and surprisingly does quite well with a good amount of rainfall. My only gripe would be the zipper - I'm not sure if it's normal behaviour but mine likes to unzip just by pressure from my layer underneath. The Squamish comes in some great colours - my favourite being Flare!

Ich habe mir die Squamish Hoody gekauft, um sie als Wetterschutz beim Skilanglauf zu tragen. Diesen Zweck hat sie hervorragend erfllt. Ich war begeistert, was diese dnne Jacke leisten kann - strmischer Wind, starker Schneefall - alles prima. Zu erwhnen ist in diesem Zusammenhang die echt gute Kapuze, die auch bei fiesen Windben blieb wo sie hingehrte. Des Weiteren habe ich diese Jacke unzhlige Male getragen oder auch einfach nur dabei gehabt, wenn die Witterung im Sommer eher unbestndig war. Sie hat mir morgens bei etwa 10 Grad ausgereicht und hat mich bei leichten Schauern trocken gehalten. Die Squamish Hoody hat sich zu einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsjacken entwickelt.

This jacket is great for running, cycling and hiking. Its thin enough that you dont overheat but provides great protection form the elements. It packs down so small that it almost always makes it into my bag for hiking in any conditon.

Perfect jacket for many activities where the weather cool but not crazy cold. The jacket packs into its own pocket to a size of a fist. Blocks out wind and allows breathing too. I like it so much that I own two.

The Squamish jacket is the perfect windshell, I use it all the time walking around town and for hikes. I bring it with me almost everywhere. It is great for traveling because it packs up super small but it also provides wonderful protection for its size. It fits true to size and can be layered underneath with an insulated layer to make a warm, water/wind protected system. The chest pocket is good for storing stuff (I'd prefer hand pockets as well). The bottom, wrists, and hood can all be altered to your preference.

Very pleased with this product. Very lightweight and can be rolled up to the size of your fist. Wore it on top of Scafell Pike with just a t-shirt underneath on a very windy day and it kept me warm. Would definitely buy Arc'teryx products again.

Finding the perfect windbreaker is a real challenge and really subjective depending on where it's to be used and how. I find myself grabbing for my Incendo during the warmer months while mountain biking or the Trino if it's colder. Backpacking or day hikes the Nodin for an ultralight shell when heavy rain isn't in the forecast and ultralight comfort are in order and then this Squamish when things are a bit cooler or higher winds are on the horizon. This compresses nearly as impressively as the Nodin yet provides a much higer level of durability and abrasion resistance due to the 30D vs the Nodin's 20D Tyono face. The hood is nice and I don't find it to generate humidity as many windbreaker hoods do, the slight reinforcement on the brim of the hood is an awesome touch when the rain starts. It can get a bit balmy during high output sessions but a quick heat dump seems to provide a lasting remedy while other jackets seem to retain the moisture when zipped back up. This is an essential piece for good reason. I'm very glad I added it to the arsenal and my Atom LTs love hiding under it when sitting really close to the campfire with ashes blowing about. **Guys from the design team** Please add hand pockets and catapult this useful piece into legendary status! It really suffers without them.

I really love this little windbreaker. I use it often for morning runs when it is a bit chilly. With a layer or two under it is just right. The hood has a beak on it which is great for us glasses wearers. The fit is great (I am 5'9"). My only complaint is that the velcro on the wrist is a bit overkill on such a light jacket. It seems a bit bulky for the nylon and it catches on anything velcro when taking on an off.

Had the opportunity to test this jacket the day after it came in under some pretty heavy rain and I was totally blown away by it. I was kept totally dry, it seems to breathe well (the humidity here is just insane and I felt good) and you can certainly tell just by the quality of the jacket that you will have this one in your inventory for the next while. I wouldn't recommend for cold or even chilly conditions, but I imagine with the proper layers you'd be good to go.
