Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody

I got this jacket from a local outdoor store, and it's my favorite. I live in Northern California where it's usuallt in the 40s-50s, and frostbitten in the morning. I wear this jacket in the early mornings, at night, in light rain and it's perfect. I'm toasty and warm and windproof in conditions where I would usually have to layer up. I have it in Magenta and the color goes with a lot of what I own. And it's so light!! I stuff it into my purse and it barely weighs anything. One of the best, if not the best apparel purchases I've ever made.

Purchased this out in San Diego while attending a skydiving school knowing that it was the winter and that I would need something else to add to my layering system. It was the last one left, as usual with most arc'teryx products, and for good reason. I made 22 skydives with this on and never felt too hot and was never cold. It held up to 130 mph winds as I free fell and kept on coming. Then on my off time I climbed two peaks in southern arizona. The desert scrub, briar, and cactus plants never mananged to tear the jacket. I was simply amazed with the product that this company has put out.

This jacket is awesome! Perfectly true fit to the Aec'teryx fit guide--much less boxy/more tailored compared to competitive products. Definitely very top of the class.

Everyone who ask me what the name of this jacket is I tell them it is my sleeping bag jacket. This jacket i great for cool days where you just want to be comfortable. There has been day were I wore this jacket for over 12hrs and never took it off, you can wear it in the car, restaurant, or mall and never get hot and once you step outside you will stay comfortable. Many people who ask me what jacket is my favorite out of all of them I tell them my Atom LT. Makes for a great standalone piece or layer under a shell. You will not be disappointed with this one.

My boyfriend bought me this jacket for Christmas. It is amazing! I wear it in the house when I'm a little chilly and I do not get overheated. I can walk outside where it is 20 F and it keeps me warm and cozy even without layers. The jacket is not bulky and fits like a glove but has enough room to move comfortably. I forget that I have it on. I'm amazed that this lightweight thin jacket keeps me so warm and dry. I can't wait to wear it snow skiing. It will be so easy to pack. I love it.

This is possibly my favourite piece of outdoor gear. Fits under all my shells - I wear this almost every day and have no use for my fleeces anymore. Great for skiing, winter activities and everyday wear under a shell in the winter. I haven't used it on it's own yet. I bought in a snug fit to layer well. I love this jacket.

This excellent piece is my new go to for mid-layering under my Alpha FL. The Atom LT has breathable fabric flanking the torso providing great breathability; a must when staying active all day. The warmth of this jacket is unreal. I've gone for many jogs with just the Atom LT on with a long-sleeve underneath while temps are just below 32F. This piece with a GoreTex shell is my idea of the perfect system for any winter conditions in Wisconsin. I use this setup for about everything I do.

This piece of clothing fits like a glove, I love the fit. For me however, it is not sufficient for cold weather as a stand alone piece below 0 degrees C. I would recommend as a mid- layer for colder temps, and a stand alone piece for 0 degrees C and warmer. Otherwise a beautifully crafted piece of clothing. I would like to try this with the Alpha LT or the Alpha ST pullover someday for a mild skiing day.

This jacket is amazing. I actually own two different colors just because I like the styling and color layout that much. One request though: Arc'Teryx, next year can you make the Squid Ink Atom LT Hoody have the entire interior liner be the same safety yellow as the accents? OR make one in a khaki/olive color with an electric blue interior, like the Hyllus Hoody. Do that and I'll own three.

I love this jacket. Since I bought it last week, I've hardly taken it off. It's great to lounge around in, but of course I had to subject it to some harsh testing in the Adirondack High Peaks for my first winter hike of the year. We happen to have picked a zero degree day (high under 10 degrees, low -1F) for a 9 1/2 hour hike up Algonquin, Iroquois and Wright. Even though it was FREEZING, using this as my top layer kept me warm in the extreme cold (keep in mind we were MOVING all day). I wore a wool baselayer, lighter jacket over it and the Atom Hoody over that layer. This jacket ROCKS - what do I love? I love the sleeves - instead of velcro, they have this power stretch stuff that just tapers perfectly - nothing to fiddle with or adjust. I've never raved about a zipper before, but this zipper is SMOOTH -even with heavy mittens, I could zip and unzip the jacket. The hood has no adjustments but it's PERFECT - when it got a bit windy, I just put the hood on and it broke the wind, provided extra warmth and even covered my mouth enough to keep out the cold air without having to use a facemask. Even though I'm a 5'5" female, I bought the men's medium (it has an athletic fit, so size up a bit) as it fit perfectly when I tried it on and I liked the color. This jacket is SIMPLE but effective - no bells and whistles, but even with this light layer of Coreloft, when used as a layering piece, it kept me warm in zero degree weather all day. In this picture, I'm standing on top of Algonquin, the 2nd highest peak in the Adirondacks on December 24th and I'm not freezing cold. Finally, I love the venting material under the arms - instead of pit zips, this material ventilates very well. For once, I didn't overheat as this jacket ventilates well. I'm in love with this jacket and since it's SO light and SO packable, it's the kind of jacket you just want to throw into your pack in winter OR in summer for quick warmth.

When I bought this jacket, I would have never imagined how much I would love this piece. Recently, a friend referred to it as the best jacket in the world and I agree. It is THE most versatile jacket ever: stylish, always warm, never too hot, the shape of the hoody is PERFECT, I wear it on high mountains, downtown, wherever...Bulk free, superlight, optimal warmth-to-weight ratio, if you want to buy one peace from Arc'teryx, get the Atom LT. It is easy to wash and dry, too. I'm observing some pilling on the side panels, but just very very slightly. I've had this jacket for a bit under a year and worn it year round! I take in on every hike, no matter how hot or cold the weather is. Considering buying a second one in another color.

I have a serious complaint about this jacket. Let me explain (briefly): I bought this jacket as part of my outdoor layering system, expecting to use it with a baselayer and a shell out on the trail / crag when the going got cold. However - and this is a real problem - since I bought it I have pretty much worn it every day. I wear it to work, I wear it under my motorcycle jacket, I wear it out in the evening and I wear it to walk to the shops. The problem: this jacket is super light, super warm, super comfortable and an annoyingly good cut/fit with really urban styling. The hood is uber comfortable. The fit is fantastic. The fabrics feel amazing. It weighs far less than any of my other daily wear jackets, and is more comfortable and better looking than them too. Don't buy this jacket if you intend on leaving home without it.

Super impressed in all respects. Light enough I barely notice it in my pack. Yet it seems to provide more warmth than I'd expect for being so thin. Amazingly water resistant as well. Wore it in a heavy rain in Moab and didn't even come close to soaking thru. The hood fits well and I use it often because of that. Excellent warmth to weight/volume.

The hoody is perfect for these cold winter days. It also works well even when it rains. The moisture repellent coating works well, and water beads on it just like a waterproof shell.

This hoody is so well-designed that I can actually be bothered to write a review! It's essentially windproof, super lightweight, comfortable, breathable, stretchy in all the right places, warm and packs down into a tiny package. I LOVE this piece. It's one of the best clothing items I have ever bought. It works as a jacket on cool fall/spring days, and as an insulating layer when it gets colder. I'm getting one for my little bro.

So hab die Jacke ja bereits fr mich bewertet. Nun auch fr die Frau gekauft. Also natrlich wie immer sehr gut verarbeitet. Sehr kleines Packma, sehr leicht und unglaubliche Wrmeleistung. Bei trockenem,khlen-kalten Wetter ne super "Stand-Alone" Jacke. Sollte es regnen halt ne Hardshell (da gibts auch ein paar schne Exemplare von Arc'teryx ;-) ) obendrber. Das Obermaterial der Jacke ist perfekt zum drunterschlpfen unter eine Hardshell geeignet. Gleitet wie von selbst rein. Material ist fast winddicht und leicht wasserabweisend. Auer unter den Armen dort zur besseren Belftung ist das Material sehr,sehr Atmungsaktiv. Schnitt der Jacke wunderbar auf den weiblichen Krper abgestimmt. Haptik der Jacke ist mehr als nur angenehm. Fr Leute die eine geftterte Jacke suchen, in der man nicht wie ein Michelin-Mnnchen aussieht ( auch wenn es grad Mode ist mit diesen einzelnen Kammern,ich finds brigens recht schick steht aber halt nicht jedem) ist dies die perfekte Lsung. Fr mich eines der "Must Have" Arc'teryx Produkte.

This jacket is awesome! It's extremely light, comfortable, versatile, and looks great too! I use this jacket almost year round. It's a great jacket in the fall and a great midlayer in the winter. I also use this jacket for running in the fall/spring and I sometimes even sleep with this jacket on when it gets really cold, it's that comfortable! I like this jacket so much that I will be buying the SV model and another LT in another colour in the near future. This jacket is worth every penny and more!

I've had North Face products for many years now and this is my first venture into the Arcteryx brand after hearing so many good things about it. This jacket fits true to size and is very comfortable. I needed a nice jacket I can wear during the fall and be breathable and wind-resistant. This jacket does all that and is also a good mid-layer for the colder months. I'm looking forward to more products from Arcteryx.

I LOVE this jacket! from early Autumn to late Spring this jacket WILL be in my pack. So many times it offers just the right amount of extra warmth. Belaying on a cold morning/standing around camp even sleeping in it in your bivy.... it does the job! Being synthetic its not the end of the world if it gets wet or needs to be washed in some far flung place. I can't think of anything I'd change, in fact PLEASE don't change anything! If this jacket doesn't become an Arcteryx classic theres no justice in the world! 10/10!

I hike the western Washington Cascades year round especially the trails of Mt Rainier. Excellent craftsmanship like all arcteryx products. During the spring and fall months this jacket is to warm to be worn during movement. But makes for a great throw on piece when stopped for water break or snack. In fact, when ever my pack comes off this jacket goes on to help conserve all that heat I just built up. Will shed light precip, especially with a shake. But not recommended for real rain. Fits really nice, I'm 6' 1" 175 and wear a large.

I've had my Atom LT Hoody for over a year now and it has become my go-to piece for Mid and Outer layering. From temps in the mid 30's and up the Atom is a great outer layer, comprable to Marmots Zeus or Patagonia's Down Sweater. When the temp drops below 30, or I'm on the slopes, the Atom pairs nice with my Arcteryx Theta AR shell. The two of those combined are the perfect combination of warmth and breathability. The one minor complant is on windy days with minimal activity, a breeze can cut through the Polartec Power Stretch side panels, but if you layer properly, or are doing a high intensity activity that the jacket is designed for, this is a very minor issue. Overall the Atom LT Hoody is awesome. I recommend it to anyone looking for a versitle Mid/Outer layer insulator.

I have owned an Atom LT Hoody and the awsome Atom MX for nearly a year now. Both have served me well and kept me comfortable on the mountain and toasty warm in the valley...Core loft insulation is super light and very warm for its weight. Wether used under a shell or as an outer layer these pieces are the bomb..(no pun intended..! ) The outer material is tuff but it will only take so much abuse(so if you find yourself in a horrible chimney or off width you may have some war scars on your Atom!) Another excellent garment...

Super Jacke, besitze mehrere Jacken von Arcteryx aber diese hier ist mein absolutes Lieblingsteil. Warm, winzig klein verpackbar, wasserabweisend, fast winddicht. Wenn es in Wohnungen nicht zu warm werden wrde, wrde ich diese Jacke zwischen Oktober und April gar nicht mehr ausziehen. Wie gesagt, die Jacke ist ein Pflichtkauf!

I'm never too hot or too cold! Simply the best. New sizing fits wider and much longer - too long for women's sizing in my option.

This jacket looks great on and is versatile for hiking and day-to-day comfort. However, if you are looking to purchase this for cold windy days, I recommend either layering up or another jacket on top. I hiked Mt Washington in this jacket, and the weather was perfect for it, but if it was much colder, I would have needed another layer on top to protect from windy condiitons.
