Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Delta LT Jacket

I bought this a couple of months ago. So soft, zippered pockets perfect for phone and keys, and light weight. I loved it so much I bought a second color.

I purchased this jacket last fall and not a week has gone by that I have not worn it. Whether it is a standalone jacket for cool mornings or a mid layer for frigid winter days, the Delta has quickly become my must have for all occasions. It's breathability allows you to wear this garment indoors while at home and the styling is nice enough to present at the office. And after 8 months, it is still going strong and in great condition!

I bought the Delta LT last year to wear while golfing in the early morning. It is great because it is light but warm and it is not bulky. I loved it so much that I bought another one of a different colour.

I've had this LT for a bit over a year now... have worn solo inside (a ton due to COVID), outside a bit and as a base layer some also (CO winters, skiing, etc). I have this in black, might be a version old I'm not sure. I'm 5'9 and 140 (sm of course) and I will wear this out - I wear it non stop... love it!

I bought a Delta LT in "Dynasty" color, large size. I am 6 ft 0 in, 180 lbs and wear a size 44 in men's suit jacket. The fit is very good and I really like the jacket for cool weather active wear. My only issue is the color: I bought this online and the Dynasty looks a lot more red in the pictures than it actually does in reality. It's really a very vibrant orange.

I have a kyanite jacket, covert cardigan and delta lt jacket. Of the three this is my favorite in terms of fit and function. I am 171cm, 150lbs and the small is tailor made. I have long arms and a shorter torso and it's perfect. It's lightweight so I am able to pack it down small and it's very versatile. I wear from anywhere between 45-60F over a base and I am able to layer over it easily when needed. It's looser than a kyanite (of same size) and lighter than a covert. I have 3 (two 2019 models and one 2020) that I rotate throughout fall and winter seasons. I know that many are not fans of the arm pocket but I think it's a great touch. It's a nice change from a giant chest logo.

I buy arc'teryx not only for the incredible style but for the fit. There is no other jacket on the market that fits an athletic body type better then this brand. This jacket is light in the hand but keeps you warm on those cool late spring or early fall days and works great as an almost weightless layer under a down jacket like the Cerium LT Hoody (that I also love). It's also super soft to the touch.

I have recently purchased 2 of these jackets to replace my 2012 Delta LT and earlier Delta AR pullovers and am very happy I did. These jackets stand the test of time and can be worn daily in multiple conditions, from hiking the Andes to excavating archaeological sites at high altitude to just running around town. They are also a great layer piece under a Gore-tex Shell or Down puffy. Colors are also great

- This is really an interesting piece of kit. Despite detailed reviews various places around the web, including this site, I found it difficult to get a handle on how light this fleece might feel in person. My primary reference point is the much used and much loved Patagonia R1 that has been an essential layer for decades for backcountry hiking/trekking (including in Patagonia itself), cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, etc. One reviewer stated he had replaced his R1 with the Delta LT, which seemed a little odd given that some reviews described the Delta LT as about the lightest and least warm fleece on the market. Then there are reviews describing it as "surprisingly" warm for its weight. Hopefully this review will help some of you in a similar position. - Now that I've had a chance to use the Delta LT through shoulder season and recently in cold, snowy weather in Montana, this is my take from an "R1 perspective." The Delta LT is, without a doubt, perceptually half the weight of an R1. It is absolutely not as warm as an R1 and not surprisingly warm for its weight. Rather, it is exactly as warm as its weight would suggest. It fits slightly more relaxed than an R1 (it is a "regular" fit after all). I wear medium in both (5'11", 150 lbs., 38" chest, 32" waist). - The gridding is reversed between the two pieces of kit, with the gridded pattern on the interior of the R1 and exterior of the Delta LT. Perceptually, beyond being a heavier weight fleece, the interior gridding also appears to contribute to the R1's ability to trap more heat. Regardless, both handle moisture exceptionally well. - In the end, for shoulder season, I have found the Delta LT to be the more useful and adaptable piece of kit over the R1, specifically because it traps less heat when on the move with or without a shell. In fact, I can't imagine a fleece trapping *less* heat than the Delta LT, but this light weight actually fills a nice niche. It is extremely comfortable and I'm now considering buying the full-zip version in another color. To me, this is not an R1 replacement but I could see how someone might decide to use it in this way by adapting layers accordingly. Personally, I will keep using the R1 for colder weather activities like downhill skiing in temps below about 20 F. However, for day-to-day casual use and for shoulder season weather, I find myself grabbing for the Delta LT. To my eye, the Delta LT also looks less "techie" around town.

Love this little jacket. Great on its own on early spring and fall mornings but also an excellent layer under a more substantial piece. So far holding up great against brambles, blackberries and my cats claws (little jerk) Medium fits great (5'5" and a busty 145 pounds)

I recently purchased the Delta LT jacket in the color Rhapsody and I can't stop wearing it. The color is flattering and vibrant without being too bright. I appreciate that the item is machine washable and I don't have to go out of my way to get it cleaned. Additionally, it hasn't lost softness as I continued to wear it, as many sweatshirts do. Great product, would definitely recommend to a friend.

Light and soft, perfect for layering. Love wearing this with one of my vests in fall and spring.

J'ai pris ma retraite en aot dernier, et j'ai d changer ma garde-robe. J'ai intgr une premire veste Delta LT, puis une deuxime, troisime et une quatrime... C'est la premire fois de ma vie que je trouve une veste la coupe qui me va si bien. Elle est ajuste sans tre serre, fminine et sportive, avec juste ce qu'il faut de chaleur par temps lgrement frais. Elle se porte bien sans excs de volume sous une veste sans manche, ou sous une veste polaire ou impermable. Les couleurs sont intenses, et les vestes restent belles au lavage. La coupe convient bien aux femmes qui ont un torse plutt court, contrairement la Kyanite qui est plus longue. Seul bmol... sur un chandail Tolu manches longues, la veste Delta ne glisse pas, et il est difficile de l'enfiler sans que les manches du Tolu ne cherchent remonter. Par contre, sur des manches courtes, ou sur un chandail de coton manches longues comme le Clusters, il n'y a aucun problme. Si seulement le Delta existait aussi en une version plus paisse, avec sa coupe actuelle, semblable au Kyanite, ce serait parfait!

Got this for my wife. She has one in another color and had mentioned that it would be nice to have one in black to wear to work. She loves the light weight of this jacket and wears it all the time.

This lightweight jacket is soft and easy to fit under any kind of coat. I wear a medium at 120 lbs because I like loosefitting gear. I have the jacket in brown and blue and like both colors but they are somewhat dull. I agree with another reviewer who mentioned liking the old R1. I did also. This jacket is also somewhat short, which is good for me. It isn't for someone who is taller and needs longer sleeves and torso. There is nothing like Arcteryx quality. thanks Zappos for carrying it.

I love this jacket/sweater so much I own 4 of them. It's perfect for layering underneath my atom hoody with a shell jacket for temperatures between 0 C to 20 C or by itself under a shell jacket between 5 C to 10 C. The colors are beautiful, the fit is amazing (for me) and the jacket is deceivingly warm due to its weight.

This jacket is so nice and light but also really warm! I usually wear a small and I ordered a small. The small fits just right with a tank underneath it. If you want to wear it more like a jacket than a warm shirt you may want to size up.

I have purchased three of the Delta Light jackets in the past couple of years and continue to get much wear out of them. I recently added the cobalt moon one, which is a medium navy blue, to my wardrobe. This jacket feels very comfortable because the fabric is soft, cozy and not too bulky. I wear it under my winter jacket when it is cold outside for added warmth and in the house when feeling chilly. It washes well in the washer and I just hang it dry. I like the full zipper style for it is easy to put on and take off. Another great Arcteryx product.

The Patagonia R1 was my favorite breathable fleece base layer for ages, but they started to only offer the non hooded version in a less breathable 'techface,' which ruined it. The Delta LT fills the gap. It's about 1/2 - 3/4 of the weight of the r1. I wish it were a little heavier weight and more structured, but considering all the pros, this is a great jacket for layering without a hood getting in the way... Heads up, the Paradigm color is a lot brighter than it looks, and kinda ugly. I returned it in store for a more neutral blue. I'm 6'4" 190 and a large is perfect.

Je le recommande lger et trs bonne manufacture pour moi la pche en rod pod

I bought this "jacket" - Not sure why they call it "a jacket"? It so thin I use it as a base layer myself over my merino 200. it is not warm enough to be considered a jacket but as a layer it is absolutely perfect. it is my "go to" first layer everyday no matter the weather. it is soft and super light. you can hardly feel it. what I like best is the collar: it is thin, loose, soft, it protects my hard shell against sweat, oil and other substances that are very easy and fast to clean compared to have to maintain your hard shell. I use it around the house on cold days too over pajama lol.

I love this jacket. It's a great color and I love the fit. It arrived on time and I am very satisfied
