Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma LT Hoodie

This is an interesting jacket ... At first I wasn't sure how to use it, since it doesn't seem to be perfectly designed for any one purpose. It doesn't breathe well enough for medium to high output activity, it's too warm for warm weather, it's not warm enough for cold weather, and it's not water resistant enough for heavy rain. But over time, I've come to really like this piece for the following use: low to medium output activity, cool but not cold weather, little or no precipitation. Under these conditions, which include casual use, the jacket works very well. In short, the Atom SL Hoody is a much lighter version of the Atom LT Hoody, just as one might expect. Like the Atom LT, I find the jacket to be super comfortable, and the trim fit is excellent for my 6', 150 lb body, with essentially no restriction to movement. Because of the trim fit, this jacket can be used as a mid layer under an outer layer, so the jacket does have application in colder weather.

I purchased this jacket as an all round water resistant, light weight jacket for hiking in Peru in October. And it is perfect. It fits true to size. It is quite stylish and suitable for everyday casual wear. It is warm and insulated when zipped up but cool enough to wear in 20 degree heat unzipped. Expensive for a hoodie but indispensable in reality! Would definitely recommend.

It fits into my kit every season. I wear it as stand alone piece in the summer to a ski touring layer in the winter. I have worn it trail running, rock climbing and backcountry skiing. It's so small and easy to pack it always fits.

Jacke ist beim Bergsport, Radfahren und Laufen von Frhjahr bis Herbst fast tglich im Einsatz. Das leichte Gewicht, die Passform und die Wrmefunktion sind einfach Klasse. Inzwischen hat meine Tochter und meine Schwester den Atom SL Hoody auch gekauft und sind genauso begeistert wie ich.

Definitely the best non waterproof jacket I've had so far in my life. I've used this jacket for everything from trekking, trail running, cross country skiinig, ice climbing & mountaineering, everyday use, and long days with the chainsaw taking down timber in the Norwegian mountains and forests. Brilliant breathability! Brilliant isolation under the Hybrid GTX jacket (similar to a thin flees) Brilliant flexibility when climbing / working. You wash it when it's full of dirt and it looks brand new after its dryed up. And yes! It dryes up very quickly. Highly recommend!

I live in Seattle and the ATOM SL HOODY is my go-to jacket for Fall, Spring and even most of Winter. The jacket is super lightweight and provides enough water resistance to handle the constant drizzle we see here and in the PNW in general. Besides casual wear, I've used this jacket while ski touring and it's kept me warm but also breathes quite well! Overall, an excellent jacket for both casual and active pursuits.

Just a shoutout for the Atom SL. Owned it for about two years now, and it's by far my most worn jacket. It's suitable for temperatures from 5 to 20 degrees celsius (depending on your activity of course) and for any type of activity, from walking to cycling, to playing tennis, golf and even for skiing as a midlayer. Job well done guys.

perfect Spring/Summer piece for taking to the crag

I bought the Atom Sl hoody for a day to day jacket in the summer, spring, and fall in Canmore, Ab. So far this jacket has held up nicely. It's form fitting and comes in an array of nice colours. It is durable, water resistant and has kept me warm with a baselayer in cooler weather hikes. It's been below 10 Celsius in Canmore with rain and fog and the atom sl has kept me warm and dry. Great ventilation in lighter exertion. The cuffs are the non elastic and do slide up on occasion but not needed if your using it around town however does get annoying when climbing etc. Overall great jacket.

Had this jacket for a few months now and has served me very well during a disappointing Scottish summer. Used for day hikes in the hills, bit of cycling and also trips to the pub when the weather looks a bit dicey. I'm 5'9, 85 kilos and the large fits very well but sleeves are a tad long. The large size for me allows a snug but acceptable fit with a base and mid layer with a bit of room with just a t shirt. The black even makes me look slimmer. Hood is massive but not a major issue for me. All in all a great buy.

I've used this jacket for day to day wear, trail running, mountain biking and even running in the rain. It's such a great jacket. Wish I had this jacket sooner!

bought this jacket in an outlet temporary shop for our trip to Per for me and my girlfriend and really loved it. We worn it during the whole trip, during the daily tour as well as to walk around the cities/places we visited. Even in the strong wind at almost 5000 meters on the level of the sea, it kept our body temperature leveled, which really means a lot. One of the best purchase ever!

The Gamma LT Hoody is great for day-to-day general use, bought as an alternative to wearing a hard shell on days where rain is less likely.

I have 4 colors of the Atom SL Hoody Men's but my favorite is red. I wore this jacket for 3 seasons and even in summer night when it is cold. Great for work, weekend, leisure and traveling. I have used in NY cold winter and layer them with down jacket. It packs very small in backpack and luggage and so lightweight that you don't remember having them in your bag.

Literally take this to do everything. Great in winter when combined with another jacket, perfect in summer. This is always in my bag, I regret nothing. Large enough to fit another jacket and fleece underneath on cold days, fits well enough to wear on its own during warmer days or light rain. Only annoying thing, the pull strings to tighten the hood are on the inside of the collar, not a dealbreaker but kind of inconvenient when tightening on a cold day

Auf diese Jacke haben wir lange gewartet. Die ideale Jacke zum Wandern, kann man bei fast allen Wetterbedingungen tragen. Und wenn es doch mal richtig kalt ist, hat man eine Super 2. Lage. Die Jacke ist super bequem, trgt sich angenehm, leicht, muckelig. Diese Jacke ist das neue MustHave !

This is a great all round jacket for outdoor pursuits when temperatures may fluctuate. Very packable and perfect weight and warmth for pulling on at the summit after a sweaty ascent up the mountain. Also stylish enough to use as an all round jacket for travelling.
