Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma LT Hoodie

I am 5'9" weight 140 and bought a Medium. Absolutely love the jacket for spring time in the western united states.

I just bought last month, really fitting is so perfect, and color is pure, I love it

New fit is much better than the prior version, expect minor stretch from the side panels.

I can't believe I went so long without this jacket. I wear it for running and cross-country skiing anywhere from -10 to +5 C depending on my effort, layering choice, sun, wind, etc. It regulates temperature extremely well. I feel like it isn't as durable as I would like at this price, but it is still worth it to me. I purchased a 2020 model before the "revised" model. I am 5'4", 125lbs and my usual size S is perfect.

Nice fitting lightweight jacket that can breathe well but keep you warm and dry at same time

I got this several months back and it is one of my favorite jackets for cool and slightly warm weather. it has the functionality of temperature regulation like a vest (no insulation in arms) which is great for activity. The pockets are also harness compatible so this is an awesome jacket for climbing in. Durability gets a 10/10, I've climbed and hiked in mine for months and it hardly has any wear.

To begin this review, I want to talk size and fit. I am 6'5", 220 lbs. athletic build. All of my jackets from Arc'teryx are size XL, all of my shirt tops in short and long sleeves are size Large. Arc'teryx products fit tall people absolutely perfectly. For the function portion of this review, I want to stress that I am not a skier, snowboarder, alpine climber or rock climber. Some may wonder, then why do I buy Arc'teryx gear? I choose Arc'teryx products because their fit, function, range of movement and performance is second to none. Period. So as for this particular piece, the Atom SL, I use this hoody for everything during early Spring thru late Fall. Layering is a breeze with this jacket as the sleeves are smooth on the inside, I often wear a long sleeve Smartwool underneath during cooler temps and I am perfect. The DWR finish sheds light to moderate precipitation and blocks out the wind. The hood is not insulated, but it does its job of cutting the wind. I always have this in my golf bag, and I believe it's the best layer for a cool rainy day on the course. This jacket hits a home run on so many levels. The light amount of insulation, DWR finish for rain and wind, hood when you need the extra protection and unreal articulation that I've come to expect from all of my Arc'teryx pieces. Great jacket!! Thank you Arc'teryx for providing top notch outdoor gear that will last dang near a lifetime.

I bought this about 6 months ago, and it is so perfect. Got the bright orange color, I forget the name, and it's yet another reason why this jacket makes me happy. I've worn it as a layer after activities, just as something to throw on over, but also have used it for skinning in all different temps, and playing paddle. It's a phenomenal layering piece. It's super light, and warm for what it is. The only downside is that everyone and their mother can see what you have in your pockets.

This was my first Arc'teryx piece. I bought this last year with the Kyanite fleece sweater. Great combo to wear during fall & spring & even during colder summer nights. This jacket is so comfortable that I could wear it all day even while working in front of my computer desk. The fleece panel under the wrist to the waist is super well thought out. The articulation on the cuffs is just great. I do wish it was even more articulated! The hand pockets is a bit higher than I had expected however it's not a pro nor con of this piece. I would recommend the LT version to be more versatile and would probably get more use out of Toronto weather. Overall, it's a solid jacket and great fitting piece for me.

I bought this a couple of months ago and it has been great for the transition between winter and spring. I usually wear it to walk my dog on chilly mornings and I'm so happy with the warmth to weight ratio. I'm 5'5" and about 125 pounds with climbing shoulders and I got a small. I might size down for a more snug fit but my jacket might be a different fit from the newly advised version.

Really enjoy this jacket, perfect for windy, shoulder season hiking. Very light weight, windbreaker with a slight amount of insulation.

Picked up this jacket a few months ago to serve as a light, breathable softshell that would cut the wind without making me too warm. I tend to generate a lot of heat, especially when I start exerting. I haven't had the chance to really put this through the ringer as yet, but my experience so far - mostly light hiking and distance walking about town - have brought me to the following observations: - Provides a good balance of weather protection and breathability, exactly what I wanted from a softshell. - Quite a trim fit with a longer drop hem. I can wear a thin layer underneath, but it can get restrictive about the shoulders if it's more substantial than a very light fleece. - Fabric feels tough and durable! - Hood is very spacious if you're not wearing a helmet while using it. The cinches help, but if you're concerned about having a streamlined and urban aesthetic, be aware that it's quite spacious. - Pockets and hem adjusters are great, but it's such a trim fit that I can't see myself using them ;)

This jacket is great for a mid-layer or top layer if you're moving quickly. I used it for trail runs in the winter, around town, and also as a mid-layer snowboarding.

this is a great, extremely versatile soft shell. no fleece lining like many soft shells, which makes it useful both as a shell for layering or as more of a windbreaker in mild weather. i wart it climbing, hiking and mountain biking. at 5'11" and 195 i got an XL, which is super comfortable to layer and loose but not too baggy on its own. no gore tex lets it breathe great too, while some taped seams and DWR keep out lighter precipitation.

I wear this jacket almost daily! Hiking to running to casual wear. So thin that it layers under anything but still warm enough to wear alone

Got this jacket back in november and it has surprised with how warm it keeps me. Coldest for now was -15C with only this and a wool mesh baselayer while running. Kept me just warm enough without making me sweaty. It is allways with me while hiking now aswell. Ordered one L and one XL cause I wasnt sure about the size, but ended up keeping both!

My first Gamma softshell was purchased over a decade ago, and only one set of repairs later thanks to rough use, it could do with another look. However, I like the jacket so much that, I've just bought another one rather than await repairs. Great wind and water resistance (of course), plentiful neatly structured pockets, concealed drawstrings and an excellent form conscious fit make this a winner.

Bought the Atom SL Hoody Men's 2 months ago. Twice I've taken it out of the dirty laundry because it so darn versatile I have a hard time finding anything else that matches its all around use. It's lightweight with pockets a great hood, breathable and shed light rain. I'm 5'8" 150 lbs. and bought the size small. Really love this jacket!

Bought the jacket specifically to run in multiple conditions. Living in Winnipeg Canada, our climate goes From -45 to -50 to 0 in winter, January to Late February. I needed a jacket to run in -10 to +10, in rain, snow, windy conditions. The advisor helped me narrow down my search and ended up with the Atom SL. My first run was in -5, I've run in 46km/h winds, some light rain, I have to say that this jacket was up to the task. It was light, DWR kept me dry, wind resistance was excellent and the core insulation kept me warm enough only wearing a baselayer long sleeve under! This is coming from someone who runs in 650 downhill running jacket for the winter! As far as fit, I'm 5'9, lean muscular build ~165-170lbs and the jacket fit perfectly with enough movement....tried and tested on a 20 mi long run! I am definitely an arcteryx follower now! Can't say enough about customer service either! My only problem is they have so many products that I want to own !

I wore an older soft shell (the epsilon maybe?) in a size M for years, but recently retired it and wanted a replacement. Love this in the green colour (which is more of a blue green than a true forest green). I'm usually a small, but often have to size up in Arcteryx jackets to get the length I need. I was really happy with the sizing - I took a small in this jacket and it has enough room for layers underneath and isn't too short. A bit more of a feminine cut would be nice though - a little narrower through the waist with a little more room through the hips.

I have owned my Atom SL Hoody for a year now, and wear it 3-4 times a week for running, walking, and hiking. Like other Arc'teryx products this one is incredibly well made. What I'm particularly impressed by is the trim fit and perfect weight for rigorous outdoor endeavors. It is the perfect piece of kit for a chilly morning or afternoon hike, and the weather protection it provides is pretty amazing compared to other jackets I've tried. Overall, a flawless design and execution.

I am on my 5th season with my first Atom SL Hoody and just bought my 3rd one. I use them in the winter alpine, nordic and backcountry skiing. The other 3 seasons I use the Atom SL for biking, hiking and travel.
