Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoodie

This is a great jacket, really nice as a mid layer, or stand alone. The medium fits great on me (5'9", 160lb athetic build), as I prefer a trim, athletic fit. It's maybe a tiny bit big in the body, but I'm not complaining. I love the texture of the fabric, feels different than most of my other jackets. The finish is perfect as a mid layer, as this is not going to stick or pull while putting an outer shell on. I like the tight fitting "butter cuff" as they are sometimes called. Some people may not like the look of the cuffs, but they are only about an inch wide, but are very thin and soft on the wrist. The jacket is very lightweight, and is not too bulky. It does have a little bulk to it, but again, it's not going to cause a problem as a mid layer. The sides of the jacket are a different, stretchier material, but in the color I have (previous season "bison" color) I can hardly notice it. One small complaint is the hood and zipper. The hood seems to not lay right all the time when not being used, and it sometimes gets in the way when I use it as a mid layer (flops around a bit). Also, for some reason, the zipper doesn't seem to lock. Especially when zipped up almost all the way, you can easily pull the jacket apart from the sides, you don't have to pull the zipper. It doesn't come down by itself, but it seems odd that it would happen at all. Overall, the minor complaints make this a 4.5 star jacket, but I'll round up because I do like it so much.

Trs chaud, porter seul lors d'une activit arobique ou en couche d'isolation lorsque le temps est glacial. Les panneaux extensible sous les bras font tonnamment bien le travail (vacuent la chaleur et empchent la veste de remonter lorsqu'on lve le bras). Coupe bien le vent.

I was looking for an ultimate mid layer jacket for both sport activities and casual all-rounder. This jacket has it all and even more. It's amazingly light, packable and warm. Both inside and outside materials are very nice to touch and the fit is awesome. I am 187cm, 85kg, 105cm chest. Large fits perfectly for use as a mid-layer but for casual wear I went for an XL and it fits great for using as a mid-layer under my hardshell or as a stand-alone piece. Not buggy at all I have ordered the Heron color and it's awesome. But be aware the hood liner which looks yellow on the picture is actually green. A very nice apple-green fresh color, but not yellow. It's also true for the inner fabric. I've only used it in temperatures between 0 - +15 Celsius and it feels great and comfy. The jacket breathes extremely well. Hope it will perform great in a colder conditions as well.

This jacket is just that, stupendous. I have previous experience with pieces similar (in theory) to the Atom LT claiming to be equally as good. Boy, are they wrong. I originally purchased this jacket when I was living in Montana and it treated me so incredibly well. The first day I got it, I somehow managed to spill coffee all over it, and to my surprise the liquid beaded off. No absorption, and days later I didn't smell like sour milk! It serves as a perfect midlayer when winter biking, cool weather climbing, hiking or whatever you get yourself into. The jacket is awesome on its own when doing aerobic activities. It's my "go-to" cool weather climbing layer. I now live in New England where the weather is much more wet and fussy, and my Atom LT remains my #1 most diverse (and favorite) jacket. The orange color is mint. Best purchase, ever. My only complaint is this: there needs to be a bit more room to move in the chest area. Unlike most outdoor companies, Arc'teryx has their women's fit dialed - so I was a little surprised when I popped this on and it was a wee bit tight across the chest. (For reference, I'm 5'2 112 pounds, and a bit busty). However, I will say this: an immobilizing sports bra makes a big difference. Additionally (as mentioned in previous reviews) this jacket is a magnet for dirt. So if you're going to purchase a color that may or may not show all the love, grit and grime, remember to wear that dirt proud!

J'utilise ma Atom LT de faon intensive depuis plusieurs mois. Environ 300Km parcourus pied, par tous les temps, avec ou sans portage. galement porte tous les jours lorsque je me rends au travail, elle sait se faire oublier tout en apportant un confort optimal. La qualit des matriaux est parfaite, le coloris fun, la technicit exceptionnelle ! Que demander de plus ?

I love this jacket. It fits my figure well because of the stretch material on the sides, is so lightweight and warm. Feels like you are surrounded with invisible warmth. Great in the autumn as is, and easily fits under my other jackets (including Sting Ray board jacket). Easy to care for. I am 5'4" about 118lbs and I have a small. The hood fits perfectly - let's you look around while being covered. JUST LOVE IT!

As you can guess from my title, I call this jacket my Magic Jacket. It is wonderful! This jacket keeps you warm when it needs to, and keeps you comfortable when it is warmer outside, I'm not sure how it achieves this, but it must be magic. I highly recommend anyone wavering over whether or not to get this jacket to go for it! You will not regret it.

I just received my hoody in the mail last week, just in time for the temperatures to drop below freezing. I bought this as a mid-layer but also to wear alone when the weather is decent but cool. So far I absolutely love this thing and it was worth every penny! It is super thin and light weight, wind resistant and water repellant. The hood is a little loose but stays on your head even with the wind howling. With just a thin long sleeved shirt underneath I was warm in -10C windchill today and was nice and warm in winds and rain on the weekend (and hail!), but not too hot thanks to the breathable fleece. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase and may even break down and buy another one in a size smaller to really fit under my hard shells. As it is, because I wanted to wear it as a stand-alone piece, and I was in between sizes, I went for the bigger size so I could wear other layers underneath. This company tends to make things pretty snug, so if you want to be able to wear something underneath and you're between sizes, I recommend sizing up. Overall, I highly recommend this product!

This is a really, really good piece of design and craftmanship. It can be used in the city, with a classy touch or on your mountain ascent. I live in the arctic circle in Norway, and it is perfect for spring and autumn usage. I love the details and quality. The seams are perfect (some jackets have bad seaming) and the insulation is wonderful. The materials are so comfortable that this is my "go-to-jacket" for most cases. For colder conditions (-10>) I use heavy-duty down-jackets. If I would recommend this jacket? YES. The "bang-for-buck" is really good with this jacket! If you are obsessed with quality and form-factor - this is the jacket for you!

It's a great jacket that I've been wearing it almost daily for a year now. It's a very reliable piece considering that it maintains thermal efficiency when wet. My only complaint would be that the salesperson upsold the insulation capacity of this jacket, but that is hardly Arc'teryx fault. If you are aware that this will not be sufficient in colder seasons then it is a really great jacket.

This jacket is my absolute favorite. Most of the time I'll wear it with a light fleece underneath for winter weather and that's enough for me. Definitely pleasant to wear during the Fall months. It's perfect for a cool hike in the mountains. Keeps me really warm while I'm moving. The only gripe I may have with it is the cuffs are a bit too tight if you're wanting to wear gloves.

Possibly my favorite Arc'teryx item. Provides excellent warmth, lightweight and packs pretty small. The outer is pretty durable, although I got mine ripped when it got stuck behind a piece of iron sticking out a fence... Can't blame the jacket for that. The tear did not rip any further during washing and the continued use of the jacket. I use the Atom LT when I take the dog out for a quick walk, when I am climbing/trekking, when I am sitting at base camp or when I need to warm up in my sleeping bag... Truly an excellent allround piece!

Absolut geniales Gewich/Wrme/Packmass Verhltnis, sehr hoher Tragekomfort, funktioniert bis ~0 Grad Celsius sehr gut (und sehr schnell, da relativ winddicht). In jeder Hinsicht absolut empfehlenswert als 2 Schicht oder bei Rast als Jacke, um schnell relaxen zu knnen. Unbedingt testen!

This jacket is absolutely killer. i bought it to replace a Patagonia piece that i trashed in a dirtbike wreck. that piece used 60g Primaloft insulation, and was quite warm. that jacket was my go-to piece, and i rarely left home without it here in northern Colorado. my Atom LT (i got it in cayenne) has been incredible so far! although it has the same insulation weight, this jacket is much warmer than the 60g Primaloft in my old Patagonia nanopuff. the hood is great and the stretchy piping material around the cuff makes it stay up nice and snug near the collar when the hood is not in use. i love the weather resistance and overall toughness of the face fabric, a big step over the Patagonia. The sleeves are nice and slim, without being tight or constricting anywhere. This, along with the ingenious elastic wrist cuffs make it a perfect layering piece. it slides under my MH Victorio shell like it's not even there. The torso is a perfect fit, it almost feels tailored. the design overall of this jacket is just amazing. there's a ton of attention to fine detial. the recessed pocket zips for the waist pockets, for instance. the fleece panels for ventilation make the underarms very comfortable, although sometimes i feel they let in too much wind when used as a standalone piece. this is most prevalent when riding my motorcycle, though much of that has to do with riding position and having semi-raised arms. i only have two cons with this jacket: the main zipper comes down easily (this could be remedied with a zipper "garage" at the top of the zipper), and the ventilation panels are a bit large. other than those small issues, which not everybody has i am sure, i would highly recommend this product.

This jacket is so comfortable, the moment you put it on it feels like you can just curl up and die peacefully. The fit is great and its kinda windproof as well. Its very mildy water resistant, though I wouldn't count on it to keep me dry. Size L fits perfect under my size L Beta FL hardshell. Theres one minor negative and that's the earlier mentioned zipper; with the tiniest amount of stress, the zipper opens. Arc'teryx should fix this with their next update, can be quite annoying when used as a mid layer.

I took the Atom LT on an Everest Base Camp trek and was totally impressed. It's warm, yet breathable and sheds water easily. The fit is perfect in XL - I'm 198cm (6'6'') and 98kg (215lbs). It fit well under my Alpha SV and was practical both on the trail and in tea houses. Thinking of buying another!

This jacket is awesome. Not much more to say, but I'll keep going. It's so versatile and packable, but what really stood out for me was the fit. I cannot say enough about the Arc'teryx women's sizing. The fit is perfect - I'm usually between sizes and I have a hard time finding clothing that has the right arm length, shoulder width and hip width. I'm 5'5" and 120lbs, and the small is perfect. I was worried that it would be bulky and shapeless, but it has a slim and flattering fit around the bust and waist. It's still roomy enough for a light sweater underneath. Do yourself a solid and buy this sweet jacket.

Var noget skeptisk da jeg hoppede p en Atom LT, havde en Patagonia dun jakke fr som gav for meget varme, s ville gerne have noget lettere og mere ventileret. Atom LT leverede 100%, fandt den noget billigere online og brugte den p 14 dages kajak og hiking tur i nord Norge (juni). Jakken blev brugt bde til let vindstop, pause jakke, p smture mod regn og myg, om natten som hovedpude og som by jakke en weekend i Oslo. Lrte hurtigt at holde den inden for rkkevidde. Min kreste kbte damemodellen uden htte i sort og bruger den non-stop i byen og p smvandreture. Vi fr se hvordan fyldet hndterer p sigt, men min har snart et r p bagen og holder fint. Bruges ofte under en Klttermusen Skidbladner skal.

Offert ma femme qui est vraiment frileuse, cette veste a chang sa perception de l'outdoor 4 saisons. Veste ultracompressible, chaude et bien taille. J'avais peur de la solidit du tissu externe mais cette dernire tient la route et permet de se "frotter" un peu tout ce qui se prsente (rocher, fort...). La taillant est assez grand: elle mesure 1m78 pour 63 kg, le S lui va parfaitement. Les empicements stretch permettent en cas de grand froid de mettre une micropolaire en dessous sans problme d'engoncement. Finis le froid et les rticences sortir. Merci Arc'teryx!

I've had a lot of outdoor gear over the years. I have always been a fan of down filled jackets. I am a total convert. it is warm, soft and light. It compresses really easily in a pack and for travel. I have since bought a second LT and an SV. The LT is great for 3 season activities - hiking, camping, ski touring in warmish weather and running on a cold day. I tend to use the SV around town (Vancouver) all winter and under my goretex shell for downhill skiing. Both are also terrific on a light rainy day - doesn't soak through unless it is pouring down. Love the fit, hood, everything about it.

One of the best pieces I've ever owned, hands down. The jacket is not only deceivingly light, yet surprisingly warm, but it's amazingly durable. I recently brought this jacket to the Red for some climbing and conditions were colder than desired. I wore this up some sport routes and it not only helped to keep me warm but also stood exceptionally well to abuse. It did wonders against some branches and trees during the approach and amazingly well against the rock as I work it up some routes. Worth ever penny.

Eine Jacke, welche immer dabei ist. Sie gibt angenehm warm, und dies bei geringem Gewicht. Trotzdem ist sie genug robust, um sie ohne Probleme auch als usserste Schicht zu tragen. Das macht sie zur perfekten Isolationsschicht fr Skitouren, Freeriden, Wanderungen, zum Klettern, Gleitschirmfliegen, auf dem Fahrrad oder im Winter frs Trailrunning. Aber auch bei kleineren Abenteurern wie bei der Arbeit oder in der Freizeit leistet sie gute Dienste. Die Jacke hat eine top Qualitt, habe sie jetzt seit acht Monaten jeden Tag im Einsatz, und sie ist noch in sehr gutem Zustand.

Ich wrd diese Jacke nicht mehr hergeben. Sie ist klein verpackbar immer hinten im Rucksack. Sie wrmt sehr gut, ich trage die Jacke an kalten Tagen auch fr den Aufstieg beim Skitouren oder beim Klettern in der Wand. Bewegunsfreiheit ist sehr gut, vorallem beim Klettern verrutscht Sie dank den Armsabschlssen an den Handgelenken nicht.

Only have had this piece for a couple of weeks so here are my initial thoughts. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs muscular, large fits very nice with a tshirt or even some baselayers and midlayers. Longer in the back which I like. Amazing stretch cuffs and side panels. Took it out on a -12 C day in town with a light sweater underneath, felt very comfortable. Very lightwieght and compressible. Great look, got many compliments. Amazing piece of kit.

I got the Atom LT when it first came out and instantly fell in love with it. There sre pleanty of reviews of this jacket so I won't go into details, but it's a great jacket for most of the year. I liked it so much I bought another this winter to keep for the hills, and use my older one round town.
