Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Vest

I was unsure when I purchased this product but am so happy I did! It has been traveling with me for the last month and is so versatile. It works well over a long sleeve, over a sweater, while running or while wandering around town. The slightly longer cut in the back is so flattering and helps with the vest not riding up. I am 5'4, 67kg muscular build and have had no problems with rubbing on my arms as I have with other vests. Great layering piece that goes with everything. I love this product!

Love this vest! Want more colors. Light grey would be lovely.

I love this vest and bought it on a recommendation from a good friend. It keeps my torso warm but isn't bulky and can wear under a ski jacket without difficulty. It works great in Florida obchiller days and when we are skiing or visiting relatives up north. I did initially order a small and it fit but was right across the chest, so if you are busty like another review says you may want to size up. A medium fit more loosely and a bit longer but it's perfect because I can wear a sweater or long sleeve under it. I'm 5'5 140lbs athletic build. The sizing chart had me at the edge of a small but size up if you'd like some extra wiggle room. Will definitely buy again.

Arcteryx is one of my top three brands. Allways good quality and fits allways good. The vest is truely a superb investment :-) I hope Arcteryx will produce it in more colours. I just love it! I`ve used it on Spitsbergen primo nov 2019.

This vest is perfect for running in Montana. It is light weight, warm, and layers beautifully under my other Arcteryx jackets.

I purchased this to replace another vest (different vendor) that I lost on a trip somewhere. I liked the other vest but after buying this one, I won't go back to the other brand. This vest is very light, very warm for its weight, a great wind break and just enough extra warmth for cool treks when you don't want to be weighed down. Excellent product. Note: like other Arc'teryx products I own, I go up a size from my "true" size. I have broad shoulders and a rather large chest for my height. I need an XL because of this. In street clothes, I usually wear Large, athletic cut tops. For Arc'teryx products I purchase XL and live with the longer sleeves. For the vest, this was not a problem.

Redefines "go-to-garment". So light and thin folds to nothing yet very warm. Excellent zipper and ample pockets. Wear it open for extra ventilation or zip to top turtleneck collar which seals great around neck for warmth. Literally wear it every cool day as a first mid layer often not needing a shell or jacket. Used so much bought an extra to rotate wear between the two.

great vest for everyday wear. warm enough and stylish.

Had this for about 3 months now and has unfortunately been used too many times due to a disappointing Scottish summer. Ideal for a trek in the hills or chucking on for general use when a bit of core warmth is required. The vest does bead nicely and keeps dry in light rain showers so no complaints there. No issues so far on durability so fingers crossed. I'm 5'9, 85kg and the large fits me well with a t shirt/ base layer underneath with a little bit to spare. All in all great product for the UK.

I have 2 colors of the Atom LT Vest Men's and my favorite is the blue. I used them in winter and spring and even in fall evening. Great for hiking, going to work, sports like cycling. It does keep you warm in 15F and great to layer when it drop 10F and perfect for layer with down or rain shell jacket. I have used for traveling and it packs very well. It is expensive and a little fragile and get cut easily if you doing any backyard or landscape work with the vest.

This vest has served me well from hiking in the Canadian Rockies to commuting in New York winters. It works as a mid-layer under a jacket or by itself over a base layer if you're going to be active. I have worn/washed it countless times and it's still going strong. M fits snugly on 6'0"/200 lbs athletic build with base layer on. L would be better if you plan to layer underneath.

I'm two weeks into ownership, and have worn this every single day. I tried wearing it to bed, but my wife wouldn't allow it. Yes, it's expensive, but like all Arc' garments, it's world class. I love the fit (athletic), temp control (not too hot, but warm enough), style (even the wife likes), and cut. If you can afford it, for fall/spring cool temps, you can't go wrong.

This is my first piece of Arc'teryx gear and I can definitely say it won't be my last. Everything from the fit, function and aesthetic of the vest is perfection. I have been a long time Rab user and this have usually just gone back to what I know; but while their items are fantastic and functional for their intended use they often fall short in not being versatile enough to also use everyday which can be an issue when you have thousands of dollars of gear in the closet. This vest is so warm for its weight you hardly notice you're wearing it. It goes just as well over a light fleece or base layer, under a shell with a larger mid layer or over a T shirt at the local pizzeria! 5'9"/1.75m - 165lbs/75kg I got a small although I'd get a medium if I intended to use it over a thick fleece.

A great light weight vest that works for cool to cold weather activities and looks good when going to work or out for dinner

Feels light and looks light but is surprisingly warm. Fits perfectly - if anything I'd say a tiny little bit on the slender side which I happen to prefer.

I usually use all of my stuff for camping/hiking. Due to the clean lines and being too bulky. I wear this vest to the office. LOVE IT!

A sleeveless vest is that one piece of equipment I believe every touring enthusiast should carry with them while going on their outdoor adventures. When I first got the vest, I thought I was just going to use it for physical activities, but I quickly realized the Arc'teryx Atom LT vest was meant to do much more than what I originally got it for. I mainly use this item for ski touring, but I could see how it would fit the needs of anybody who wants a piece of equipment suitable for their active lifestyle. I got to use it in various conditions, from windy weather, to cold snaps. I found that it was particularly useful to wear over just about any base layer or hoodie you would normally wear for extra warmth or wind protection. Starting with the fabric, I particularly enjoy the Polartec Stretch side panels that give me more mobility and breathability when the adventures get intense physically. Since I get warm very fast when I start climbing, I like to travel light. Therefore, I often just wear a base layer or a light hoodie but when the wind picks up it's nice to have a little synthetic windproof insulation to keep you warm without necessary having to put on your shell or down jacket. The vest is a little bit longer in the back for extra coverage and style but still loose enough to wear extra layers underneath. Overall, I would say that if you live an active lifestyle and your looking for gear to enhance your outdoor experiences, this vest truly got it all. It's extremely versatile, fits just as good on the street than it does in the mountain and it's very lightweight. Test it, adopt it. It's that simple.

This is the perfect vest! Make sure you try it on store to get the right fit, but it works as a perfect mid layer and an outer layer in slightly warmer weather. I've used it to hike, bike, backpack and I even wear it to work as it's a pretty neutral and stylish vest. The material on the sides and front are different, but both are very durable and soft. Overall 5/5.

This is a great vest! I eyed one for the first time out on vacation in Colorado, but I had already spent a lot of money so held off until I got home. I was so enamored with it that it didn't take long until I bought one for myself. This fall I've worn it trail running, hiking, and even for work and casual with a skirt. Just enough warmth to keep the core comfortable in all kinds of conditions, ranging from very cold to just a little brisk depending on the other layers.

When I purchased this vest I thought it was going to be way to warm for me, but, now that the weather has turned colder I am LOVING it. I also own the Atom SL Vest and wear it frequently, even in Southern Arizona. The material does not attract debris even in the dry overly static weather. I love the stiffener material along the pocket flaps and bottom back as they help to maintain the trim tidy look. The fleece in the pockets is super nice when you are not wearing gloves. The fit is roomy enough to wear over all but the bulkiest of tops, yet provides a slim look. I think it looks more slimming on my short, 5'1", body than it looks in the pictures because it fits a bit longer on me.
