Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Kyanite LT Hoodie

I purchased the Kyanite LT hoody 6 months ago and wore it daily throughout the summer while biking, hiking and backcountry camping. It is perfect as a lightweight stand-alone jacket or as a layer under a waterproof shell. It is comfortable and warm in cooler temperatures at night or in light rain. The hoody is described as a next-to-skin and trim fit, however, the fit is large and roomy. I had previously owned the Adahy hoody in size small, which was a snug fit. Based on this and online customer reviews I originally purchased the Kyanite LT in size small. It was voluminous so I returned it for an extra small, which is still relatively loose fitting. The colours online are not representative of the actual colour of the fleece. Dakini appears as a vibrant fuscia online but is a muted dark rose colour with contrasting dark stitching. Also, Astral is a blue-green teal online but is actually closer to a true dark green. If possible, it is best to see the colours in person at an Arc'teryx retailer before ordering to make sure you get the colour that you want.

i have 2 adahy jackets which i love but that model has been discontinued. This is similar but the color on line looks lk a brightish purple but what arrived is a kind of a dull red. The jacket is lovely but will probably send back b/c of that.. wish there were more colors in the red/pink/ purple/lavendar family.. I have a lot of blue/green and black/

I bought this and was happy - but it didn't survive the washing machine. Very poor.

I have come to expect high quality over time with the Arc'teryx gear and clothing that we have accumulated over the years. This is below the bar. My friend got the olive and I loved it, but I needed something bright, so I bought the orange color. I was going to buy the olive next, but now I don't think so. I'm not returning this since I've taken off the tags and I wore it (I needed it for a concert), but the embroidered logo looks like they stretched the fabric as they embroidered it because the material is bunched up around it to the point where I would think it was a knock off. So, my dreams of the olive one are gone and I wouldn't be recommending this to my friends. I know my friends was perfect but this one isn't. Super sad :(.

Received as a gift, this hoodie fits well and is quite warm. I have the gold color. Unfortunately, one panel of the jacket began to pill after only 3 (casual) wearings. I did not abuse it in any way. I tried to exchange it since it was probably an end-of-bolt piece that somehow got into the manufacture process. After weeks of waiting, documentation, photos, etc. Arcteryx informed me that I was wrong, and this is normal wear and tear. If this is true, the quality is sorely lacking, and I am sad. I wanted this to be more durable and attractive.
