Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom LT Jacket

Bought this last year, its is amazing, warm and light

great fit, awesome colors, would buy again in different color.

Love this jacket! I wish you would bring back the 3/4 zip version!

I've got two of these which I've had for a year now and wouldn't trade them for anything else. It works really well as a general purpose jacket in autumn and spring or as a mid-layer in cold / wet conditions. However as it's lightweight, compressible and stowable (it stuffs neatly into the inside pocket) it is easy to take as an extra layer if the weather is changeable (half of a UK summer). I'll wear it to work, at the horses and out in town looks smart in all circumstances and never wished I'd have left the house wearing something else instead. In areas where I wasn't expecting huge things of the Atom LT (durability and weather resistance) it's actually performed better than I imagined. No stains, pilling, tears or loose stitches and somehow it's still beading. Happy customer!

The fit was great. Very warm jacket and light weight.

I love this jacket. It's super light when compared to the wool and cotton sweaters that I used to wear, and somehow it's even warmer! I also think it looks great, Arcteryx does a great job with designing clothes that fit very well.

I love this jacket! It's stretchy enough to climb in it, it breaths really well but keeps me warm, light enough to wear under a shell and not feel too puffy. Overall just great jacket

Just ordered my second Atom jacket. Love these on semi cool days or under the Beta in the rain.

I got this as a layering jacket, but I was just in Portugal for 12 days and it was a great outer layer for the mild winter. Anything from 60 to 40 degrees and I was perfectly comfortable! Plus it was super easy to roll up and stick in a bag if needed.

Our family has owned these in both hooded and non hooded. We use them all year for skiing, hiking and just going to town. They are super comfortable plus warm as a mid layer under a shell for most any day skiing and not too warm when it gets hot. Absolutely the best piece I own from this company!!!

I love the Atom LT! It's one of the most popular jackets among my outdoorsy friends, and now I see why. It's super comfortable, fits well, and is just warm enough for cold-but-not-freezing weather. Two small, but great, details I haven't seen mentioned in reviews: 1. Sleeves are tapered down to be fitted at the wrist, so wind doesn't get up there. 2. This jacket's water repellency is legit. I wore it in Seattle while it was raining (not super heavy, but enough that most people would reach for their rain jacket) and it handled the rain no problem! The rain only penetrated the fabric a tiny bit on the shoulders after several hours walking around town. But 99% of raindrops rolled off immediately. Overall, fantastic midlayer.

I used to think that the LT series were too lightweight for me. Now I own this one and a hooded version. Great jacket for walking or biking. I use it mostly as an outer layer with something underneath in order to not overheat. During winter I use it as a midlayer. Good fit, true to size, I'm 6'2 and 210 lbs and I use a large.

Let me begin by saying that I'm a 200lb Asian guy, 5'9" tall, 43" chest, 16" arms (measured around the biceps), 37" waist, 43" hips, and I ordered the size L (large) which fits me perfectly. The arm length and body length of the jacket fits spot-on and I have absolutely nothing to complain about re: the specs of this jacket. The size M (medium), which I tried in-store, fit my body well, but the material around the arms was bunching under my armpits and made it uncomfortable to wear. If you're ever on the edge of deciding which size to go with, make sure to try on all the sizes too see what fits you best. The Atom LT is a trim-fit jacket which is indeed hip length, as advertised. The Atom LT Jacket is without a doubt one of Arc'teryx's staple items, and it is easy to see why it is so loved by people all around the world. It's extremely lightweight and easy to pack considering how warm it is - one would expect a jacket as light as this to not be as warm as it is! I've gone on long walks on cold nights and brisk mornings on the way to work and this is the perfect jacket to throw on top of a t-shirt if you gotta get out fast. With its simple silhouette and minimalistic design, it looks smart and makes you look cool if you've got it in black or grey, whether you're wearing it with joggers, sweatpants, jeans, or tactical cargo pants. It's also a great layering piece - it's real easy to throw a tougher, waterproof jacket over top of the Atom LT when the weather gets cold or it starts to rain or snow. If you're in sub-zero temperatures, definitely do not rely on the Atom LT alone, but if you're in Fall or early Spring this would be the perfect item to wear alone. I think that if there is one thing that people might complain about, it would be the pricing. At about CAD$300, it is a bit steep for such a simple jacket, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. With Arc'teryx's lifetime warranty on any and all of their products, I'm sure that this jacket will serve me every day for the rest of my life (because I know I will actually do my best to take proper care of it, and I know the company will step in if the jacket fails to perform or if there's a manufacturing defect). You only need one Atom LT in your wardrobe anyway, and the price per wear will totally justify spending that much money after a year of wearing it. I bought mine in black so that I can use it for work purposes and it's absolutely one of the most comfortable and functional jackets I have in my wardrobe. Thanks, Arc'teryx!

If I had to only have one jacket for the rest of my life, it would be the Atom LT. It's thin and comfortable so I don't mind wearing it while I drive, and it is surprisingly warm. I wear this just about everyday from November through March and I live in Pittsburgh, PA where it gets pretty cold. It looks great with pretty much everything- I only wear a different jacket if I'm wearing a dress! I love that it is washable and packable also- as I have done both.

I bought this Atom LT jacket for my wife and she likes it! She's 5'4", 116lb and the Small fits perfectly. She wore the jacket with just a t shirt underneath and was never cold.

I love the jacket when I work and play..it is versatile ,and worth the money,,I believe i will own it for years to come,.

It is such great and also stylish jacket. As a stand alone or layering with a hardshell - perfect!

Es una prenda muy interesante, protege del frio a la vez que ventila lo suficiente para no sudar o agobiarte. La he utilizado en British Columbia para hacer hikking & trekking y es fantastica, ligera, calida y confortable. He utilizado la prenda para pescar en Islandia, con viento y lluvia, no tengo mas que buenas sensaciones. Recomiendo la prenda por su calided, comodidad y funcionalidad

Perfect base layer, this jacket is extremely comfortable and light. This is the perfect jacket to wear in its own or put under a shell if it's raining or windy.

I've had this jacket for 5 years, and it's still my favorite. It's my first choice for any days when temperatures are above 15-20 degrees (and where I live that's most winter days). It is sleek and professional-looking enough that I can keep it on at work and during meetings. I've sent it in for repair once and it was returned to me in great condition. I plan on having this jacket for as long as possible.

This is an excellent jacket that looks good and feels good. It fits perfectly and really gives you the right amount of insulation. I use it as a stand-alone jacket and it's great.

Purchased this for a mid layer to wear under my Alpha LEAF and under my plate carrier. Absolutely love this jacket so I purchased another one. Its warm, it breaths, its durable. It's been used for camping, skiing, trekking, and held up to my heavy gear.

Meine absolute neue Lieblingsjacke. Gerade bei khleren Temperaturen trage ich die Jacke nur noch. Und das tolle ist man kann einfach eine Shell Jacke drber anziehen und man ist optimal geschtzt. Die Passform ist ebenfalls sehr gut. bei 184 cm trage ich die Jacke in Gre L. Fr mich absolut empfehlenswert
