Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Adahy Hoodie

Sharp looking jacket. Got lots of compliments. But no zipper garage so zipper rubs and picks under my jaw when zipped up. Find it quite irritating. Reduces the comfort of the jacket (at least to sensitive souls like me). I love the jacket otherwise but am surprised that for the price, and in light of Arcteryx' commitment to quality and design, there is no zipper garage. Haven't tested the jacket under adverse conditions yet, but I suspect it will hold up as Arteryx makes great gear...

This is a great lightweight fleece. Soft, stretchy material, nice clean look, warm but not overly so, layers well. It's kind of like a thin Kyanite overall (which I also like). It does, however, run small compared to other Arc'teryx tops. I'm 6'1", 175 lbs, +3 ape index, and the medium just baaaaarely fits. The hemline is as short as I would wear (and would prefer at least 1" longer for coverage), and the sleeves are maybe even just a tad shorter than I'm usually comfortable with - they just barely hit my wrist, though the stretch in the material minimizes the usual reach and comfort issues that come with sleeves being too short. The chest size fits but also runs small compared to other Arc'teryx tops - I'm about a 40" chest and this is pretty form-fitting (most Arc mediums leave a little room for layers). I haven't tried a large, as the chest might get too floppy for me, but if you're on the fence it might be worth considering sizing up. If this were sized like the prior model Delta jacket, it would be perfect.

I bought the Adahy Hoody for summer mountain walking in the French Alps. I am 6ft, 13st6, Athletic Build. After reading other reviews I initially bought a medium but had to return and order a large. The design is intentionally close fitting and sits relatively high on the hip/waist. The material and stretch fabric feels nice, looks good on and is comfortable. I am not a big fan of hoods and would question the need on thin garments but this is my personal preference and won't stop me enjoying this product.

Easily my favourite hoody, especially in the awesome labyrinth colour. While it may be a bit cool for winters, it's a great fit for the other seasons. In spring/fall weather I've worn it just over a merino shirt outdoors, depending on the conditions (10-20C). Warmth for the weight is remarkable while being light, stretchy and incredibly comfortable. Fit is trim, though while the sleeves are wonderfully long, the torso could stand to be longer. As a taller lean build, adding an extra inch to the front hem (as with many other Arc tops) would go a long way. A medium is just long enough, while a large is much too baggy, while being a few inches longer. It does wrinkle a bit more readily than a heavier weight hoody, and the areas around the zipper and above the pocket mesh seem more prone. It also hangs onto lint more readily than I'd expect given the smooth fabric.

I like the product but feel the material is thin for a mid-layer. Will send it back and look for alternatives. If the material was slightly more substantial it would be a five-star keeper.

Great adaptable jacket for the Spring. It's slightly more wind resistant than a Delta Lt (not saying much), but this seems to make seem warmer as a light outer. Small pack size means it's easy to wear in the colder morning and then just stick it in the pack till it gets cooler in the evening. The stretch of the fabric is terrific for movement, and thin enough to get under other same size jackets with ease. My only concern is about the durability with extended use, but seeing how often I reach for it, I'll soon find out soon enough.

I will start by saying I'm 6 feet tall 160 athletic and this fits my torso and arms exactly. I have broad shoulders so I got a Large. I love it personally, I bought 2, see the pros for why. However my best friend also loves Arcteryx and he is 6'2 with a slightly longer torso and arms, obviously. He can't wear this item. It looks ridiculous on him and if he sizes up to an XL he gets another inch in length but he gets about 5 in the midsection and would look weird even if you got it tailored to be slimmer. For reference we both have Dallen Fleece Hoodys in Large, and his fits him like the Adahy fits me. The Dallen on me is slightly long in the torso and arms which I like, but both items are labeled as Large and Trim Fit. So unless the tall people are just going to be excluded from your more athletic fitting items, I'd say it's time for TALL SIZES Arc. Even if it's just in the larger sizes. People wanna wear the bird!
