Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma LT Hoodie

This jacket is everything I never knew I was looking for and now I'll never leave home without it. It's lightweight (not heavy or hot), easily packable, breathable and perfect for hiking, trail running, biking, climbing, or just staying protected from the wind and rain. It can be worn with a simple base layer in warmer weather climates or I'd probably pair with the Atom in cooler weather conditions. Love the hand pockets for easy access to my phone or snacks while hiking. You will not be disappointed with this jacket. Thinking about getting another one in a different color!

I have two, one in an xs and another in s for when I need layering. I wear them ALL the time. I have different jackets but since I bought these I mainly wear them. Worn for everyday wear and also for trail running and hiking.

The zippers! May sound small, but this jacket has the smoothest zippers of any soft shell jacket I have ever owned. When wearing a pack or harness it makes a difference to not be struggling with the main or pocket zippers. The side pockets are also at the right height to be easily accessible. Everything else about it is good as expected: very breathable and a good amount of stretch. Perfect layer.

Great versatile lightweight soft-shell. used it for hiking, running, football training you name it hasn't felt out of place once. Good in light showers but worth bringing a totally waterproof shell if you're expecting heavy rain because after a while it gives in. Not complaining though.

This has been an incredible jacket for a wide range of activities in all seasons. It's never in the wardrobe as I wear it so often! Light insulation and wind protection combined with stretch and breathability have made this the most comfortable jacket to use during activity. Sleeve cuff detail of being slightly longer on the back of the hand is a highly thought-out component that I love as well!

Great fit and quality. Best for fall weather or a base layer in winter.

This jacket is a new layer to me, I have had a couple of the Atom LT Hoodys and love them, and am now realizing that this will be an essential layering piece as well! I havent taken it off since I got it. It is so lightweight and packable! It's as comfortable as a sweater /sweatshirt. So far I have worn it during high output activities such as running and mountain biking. I have also used it as a layer hiking, putting a larger down jacket over it once I got to the top of the peak! The fleece side panels allow for movement, comfort and breathability and the synthetic insulation has kept me warm from the cold fall wind. I think this will be the perfect piece to wear uphill on the skin track this winter!

I bought this last year and it quickly became my go to active warmth layer. More breathable then the Atom LT when you're active, but without the fleece side panels that let in cold, so a better balance of warmth when you need it. Love the outer fabric, strong but also soft.

Perfectly placed pockets, great balance of trim fit with room for a synthetic later or smaller and breathability. This jacket really has it all. I switch into my Gamma SL for a lighter outer layer.

This jacket is a staple for me while ski touring.! A perfect combination on thin shell and insulation. The hood is the bomb, super thin while giving great protection

I have an old atom sl from a few years back and i feel this new version is longer in the torso and thicker as well. I use my jacket for cooler temp activities such as winter running and xc-skiing. Light weight but warm enough for aerobic winter activities and breathes well. Enigma is an awesome color.

This is a awesome jacket. Great fit very light. Fits true to size also very functional

I already owned the Atom AR but I purchased this as a lighter option for spring, fall, and cool summer evenings, and it's my new favourite jacket! The colour (Mirai) is stunning and the jacket fits so well! This is one of the comfiest jackets I've ever owned and keeps me the perfect temperature when I'm out and about. I mostly wear it for walks and around town, but have worn it hiking too as its so light and breathable!

Love it as a mid layer on a cold day when going for a serious hike. Love it as an extra layer for warmth under a thicker winter coat that doesn't block wind well. Love it as a cool day jacket.

Great jacket, great as a mid or shell for hiking, also great for just being around town

This jacket has some real style in addition to being a great go-to piece when the weather turns cooler. It works well as an outer layer over a t-shirt on most occasions, and I like it's low bulk for times when it serves as a midlayer.

I've had this jacket for a few months now and absolutely love it. Fantastic fit (I'm 5'9 145lbs got a small) and incredibly versatile. It works well as a stand alone piece in early fall and can easily transition into a layer system when the weather changes.

This is a great jacket for activities such as hiking when something a little thicker would be too warm.

I bought this a couple months and its the first jacket I grab out the door when its windy. I live in the Bay Area and it gets kind of chilly, so when I realized that thats the case, I grab it on my way out. It's lightweight and portable so say you misread the weather, you shouldn't be bothered by just carrying it around when its too hot

I already own the Atom LT which is really a wonderful jacket for layering while skiing. The Atom SL has no insulation in the arms and light weight material under the arms. It is cut slightly closer to the body than the LT but fits me perfectly. I really love this jacket. Just a warning I have a dog who loves to jump. This material is not overly durable by design and will rip easily.

I bought this Jacket six month ago and it protects me well through rainy days! It is very light and nicely adjustable. I am 178 cm and bought size S which was the best choice.

This is a great jacket you can pack along for summer hikes when you reach altitude. Also in the winter while taking a break for an extra layer. Even walking the dog in the city. All round adaptable.

This is my second Atom SL Hoody, purchased after I ripped my first one after having it for almost 10 years. It is so versatile; somehow it works during mild spring or fall weather, and still feels warm for cold weather fun. It works for everything from walking around town with my dog to ice climbing. The cut is perfect, it's slim enough to not get in your way but it's never binding. For reference I'm 5'5", 125 lbs and have a small. It also washes up nicely.

i bought this as an added option with my other two atom jackets, but it also has become the cool weather cycling jacket, over my cycling jacket. The fit for the SL is snugger than the other atom jackets i have.

Used this over a base layer and heavy quarter zip while trail riding in western Colorado with temps in the 20s-30s with snow and it broke the wind well and kept me dry. Will be buying more Arc'teryx products after that.
