Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cerium LT Hoodie

This piece will quickly become something that you regularly grab before heading out the door. Superior comfort and versatility in a variety of different temps. Works well as an all around / every day jacket, best in colder / dry temperatures. Very compressible, and stuffs down into an included stuff sack. If you are thinking about using this as a liner it will work alright, but I would consider the Atom LT Hoody or even the Proton LT Hoody to fill that layer.

Incredibly warm and super lightweight, great for both cold hikes and city commuting. Layers very well when required. Hood is a great feature, keeps close to neck when not in use, adds lots of warmth when up.

Best Christmas present in a long time, I love this jacket, the warmth is amazing and so is the fit and style. I got one that was made in the middle of 2015 and it fits a bit snugger and a tiny bit shorter than the one made in 2016. I don't know if they changed the size a bit, but I LOVE the 2015 and how it contours my body like a glove. It is not restricting at all and have a great range of motion. I am 5'8" and weigh 155. The material quality looks way above anything from patagucci. I do not mind paying the price for such a high quality item. Thanks, you've earned a customer because I have a cerium lt vest on the way and I will be buying your products from now.

excellent mid or top layer for hiking and general outdoor wear

I received the jacket prior to the recent polar vortex. Unlike many of you grizzled alpinists, I'm just looking to stay warm while helping my kids build snowmen, etc. The jacket did great, and kept me warm during wet winter playtime. My main feedback is that this coat is strangly, oddly, freakishly warm for how lightweight it is. My wife picked it up when it first came, and she gave me the look - "You spent that much on this?!?". I was a little skeptical when I first picked it up. But, this thing is very seriously warm. I can't wear it in the house - period. It has been 10 degrees for the past few days - I'm completely fine with a t-shirt and this jacket. I hope it holds up. If I take up heli-skiing, it'll be nice for that too.

I received this jacket for Christmas. I absolutely love it and I'll definitely be buying more products in the future.

Very light, good product, astonishing warm in cold, windy weather.

It is an extremely lightweight jacket; with very well thought details;very good value for money. I recommend it to anybody who works outdoors for hours and hours. Unbeattable against Haglfs or The North Face.

got tired of wearing my heavyweight winter jacket off to work so i tried this on a -24 celsius morning with windchill up to -31 celsius with just a regular fleece inside. i felt very warm, was out walking for almost 10 minutes. been using this since. it has stood up to the extreme weather in Calgary!

I never write reviews about clothing. Ever. Until now. I had to take the time to seek out the review section for this jacket. This is THE perfect down-fill jacket for me. The fit is spot on. I'm a rather small person. 4'11" and about 95LBS. Its almost impossible to find a down jacket that fits everywhere. I bought another brand of down jacket and it was such a weird fit even though the size was XS. The sleeves were way too long, and the body fit was way off. I had to return it. The Cerium LT Hoody fits everywhere. The sleeves are the right length not super long like other jackets. The body length is also exactly right. There is enough room when zipped up that I can wear a base layer and another medium layer (if needed). The hood also fits really well around my head. Its stays cinched up and doesn't slip off like other hoods, or get in the way. Performance wise, it is super warm. I can wear a base layer, and be warm enough running around town or doing mildly active things. It also packs down nicely into the stuff bag. The water resistant finish is also pretty nice. The water beads off and doesn't soak in right away. Enough time to run for cover or put on a waterproof layer. This is my first Arcteryx product and I am very satisfied with this purchase. The not so great thing about this jacket is that is it SO expensive. I am hoping that the price is worth it as I expect many years of wear out of this product. Next I need to find a shell to wear over this for other winter activities. But since the price is prohibitive...it may be long time before I can afford to do that. So to all the petite ladies looking for a down jacket that FITS. This is the one for you!

This jacket is super warm! I have a North Face jacket that is an outer layer and much heavier and the Cerium is warmer and blocks the wind better! It is an expensive jacket but once you wear it you know why... the quality is very high!

Un excellent produit qui combine la lgret et la chaleur, je ne le quitte plus. le zip devant est mince et pourrait laisser croire qu'il pourrait tre fragile, voir avec le temps car l, rien a signaler. Il se range dans sa pochette incluse dans la poche au millimtre prs, offrant une bonne compression. Ravis encore une fois de ce produit !

I wanted this as an under layer for cold activities. Especially to go under my Alpha. I'm an all weather Montreal city cyclist and I just love that the hood has amazing sight lines, no impaired vision at all. I also wanted something I could throw on and be warm at a moments notice if I have the sudden urge to head out. Saves me the time of hunting for a toque and gloves if I just need to be outside for a 10-15 minutes in sub zero weather. I'm 5,8 160lbs with broad shoulders so the M was tight fitting and short on the arms. The arm length on the L is decent but with no waist adjustment cold air coming in from the bottom is annoying. By itself this jacket is very good if not spartan, as a base layer... almost perfecto!

This jacket is fantastic, the fit is perfect and the quality is un-faultable, the insulation, with its mix of down and synthetic, is perfect for a range of temperatures with or without other layers. I'll be adding a Delta LT fleece and Zeta AR jacket to complete the set.

I purchased this down jacket in 2015 as an alternative to my Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody. Since then, I have found that the longer sleeves and length of the Cerium LT fit me better than the Ultralight. I have also noticed that the Cerium LT is warmer, despite being the same weight as the Ultralight, no doubt due to the higher fill and the thoughtful use of Coreloft and appropriately placed panels. Both are great jackets, but the Cerium LT would be the first jacket I would reach for if I were headed for the rugged outdoors.

I love this jacket! It is very warm on it's own but also works great as a layering system. It runs a little small but I know this is because it's meant to be layered. It packs down into it's own stuff sack which also doubles as a nice travel pillow. I bring it everywhere when I travel, you just can't beat the warmth for the weight!!

I'm not religious, but wearing this jacket is comparable to how I imagine baby Jesus felt in the crib of one of those nativity scenes. So. Incredibly. Cozy. From +10C to -15C, the lofty down will keep you toasty while not sweaty. It also doesn't stink like a lot of down out there. By far the best Arc'teryx piece I own, by virtue of feeling like I'm receiving a hug every time I put it on.

Like a lot of you reading this (I'm sure!), I own a lot of jackets. This makes it hard for me to justify buying any new ones. When I first tried on this Cerium jacket, I was instantly taken back by how light it was; with my first thought being that this could replace one of my synthetic layers I use for multi-day mountain marathons during UK winters. Despite buying this jacket primarily for use in the hills throughout winter, as a post-running/race jacket, and a night time layer when travelling light during winter nights, it became my go to winter jacket for 2015-16 winter, and I know I will continue to use it for many more winters. The Adriatic blue colour is vivid, and really stands out out in the Scottish hills (very useful from a safety point of view). The quality is great, and the fit (for me a men's small) is perfect. The handy stuff sack is great for compressing the jacket and sticking at the bottom of your bag for emergencies. There are a couple of small downsides to the jacket. It's expensive, but you pay for quality. It's a delicate face fabric, but I accepted the weight saving trade off. Every so often a feather pokes through a seam, but it's a down jacket, not synthetic so that's normal. The one thing I would change would be to add slightly heavier duty zips. I have had no problems with any of the zips (two pockets, and main zip on front), but they are quite small 'thin' zips and I do worry about their hardi-ness!
