Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom AR Hoodie

I have the Atom LT and decided to get the Atom AR for extra warmth. The temps this week in Iowa went got down to -55. I had a t-shirt and a sweater under the this jacket and was warm. Great piece and would highly recommend it.

I have owned several LTs, and I decided to buy an AR for the extra warmth during the winter, and I have to say it is superb! I've used it on it's own down to to -3 and I've been warm, and my plan is to use it as a mid-layer when it gets really cold. My only concern was how breathable it is, but no problems at all!

I've been shopping for a warm jacket for at least 2 years. My concerns were primarily being cold since I live in Northern Manitoba. I decided to go with the Atom AR considering its price and the versatility it offers. I do consider myself as having poor resistance to cold. Essentially, this is my -10C (14 F) jacket. I wear it whenever I go outside when it's -10C and under. I normally only wear a T-shirt underneath and I've never been cold. For the last 2 weeks, the temperature here in Manitoba has been below the -20C (-4F) marks and I still only wear the jacket with my T-shirt and I am super comfortable outside (my legs and my face freezing while my body and my arms are comfortably warm). Today the temperature reached -34C (-29F) and the ''feels like'' was -42C (-44F). I'm pretty sure that I would have been comfortable wearing only a T-shirt underneath, but when it's -42 outside it gets pretty cold inside the buildings as well so I wore it over a sweater. I wasn't even close to being cold outside. I bought this jacket as an everyday jacket for all of my outdoors activities and I've not been disappointed so far. I do wear it as a mid-layer when it is crazy windy with a GoreTex shell and it is more than enough for all the different kinds of temperature I have encountered so far. Braving the cold with this jacket on is no longer a challenge. I would definitely recommend it for a stand-alone piece if you're afraid of the cold and it fits like a glove as a mid-layer piece.

nsker man litt mer isolasjon og en mer vrbestandig jakke uten ha Goretex over er denne jakken perfekt.

Along with SmartWool NTS Mid 250, this is the best winter gear I ever wore. It is very light and super warm. I use it for winter hiking below zero degrees Celsius (bellow 32F). Although for around 0 Celsius (32F), it is too hot. Last time I wear it, it was -11 Celsius below zero (12F), heavy windy snow blizzard and with this jacket and just merino base layer I feel comfortably warm. But when I use it around zero Celsius (32F) with no wind, I was really sweating when I climb lots of ladder and hills. So probably for around zero condition the Atom LT is more suitable.

I'd been looking for a standalone winter jacket that I could wear hiking and around town for sometime. Living in the Midwest, USA the winter gets pretty cold, windy, and wet. Well, this jacket fits the bill! I've only had the Atom AR for a about a month, but on my 45 min walks to work lately, this jacket has kept me warm in 20 degrees Fahrenheit, with only a light vest or flannel underneath. It even does a nice job blocking the wind (15 mph). I've an Atom LT for years, and I'd say that the AR is significantly warmer. The cut and fit of the AR is similar to the LT.

Love my new Atom AR Hoody. Live in the PNW, but also head up to Canada lot, so the LT just wasn't warm enough to cover all the bases. The AR is perfect! Flattering feminine fit. I'm 5'9" 140 lbs and the M fits well. Warmth without the bulk and looking like a bubble (lots of compliments). Only complaint would be that I wish it came WITHOUT a hood. Plan on using this as insulation with a shell (Sentinel) for skiing. The extra hood will be kinda bulky.

Love this jacket. I have wider shoulders than the average 6'1" guy and it fits me very well. I find Arcteryx climbing oriented cuts accommodate my frame better than a lot of other outdoor companies. This jacket is overkill if it's only -10 and you're wearing a shell, but does great with a base layer and a sidewinder when it's colder than -15.

a perfect all round jacket for every outdoor activity. I highly recommend it to all outdoor enthusiasts.

I bought this jacket as I wanted something warm, light and suitable for everyday wear. throughout the year. This jacket ticks all the boxes. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Eine der angenehmsten Jacken die ich besitze. berragender Tragekomfort bei geringem Gewicht.

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend, as he has owned an Arc'teryx jacket for nearly a year now. I couldn't quite work out what all the fuss was about until I received mine, and it hasn't dissapointed me so far! I have taken it on a couple of weekends away and actually wore a jumper underneath to begin with. The temperature was well below 10oC, and I ended up just wearing a T-shirt underneath. When I started to feel cold, I just raised the hood up and was warm again within a minute, as the heat insulation in the hood is brilliant. Another weekend I was wearing it through torrential rain, and it kept me completely dry throughout. An excellent product, top quality, and clearly built to last!

I bought this jacket after having an Atom LT as well. Loved the LT version so naturally I decided to get the AR for the added warmth it provides. This jacket is very warm, it does have a noticeable bulk on it compared to the LT but that's to be expected, yet very similar in comfort. Will fit a fleece under it no problem if needed.

Bought the Atom LT after reading a Online review on the jacket. It's one of my preferred garment I ever owned. In any season of the year, it's always the first piece of clothing I reach for. highly recommended

I love this jacket and had been wanting it for a while before purchasing it. I am a member of a Search and Rescue team and am always fighting the battle between being able to have warm enough layers while also not being more weighted down than necessary. This jacket is light, layers easily, and fits well. I have long arms and am very thin, so I have a hard time shopping for clothing. This jacket works well and is very warm.

This jacket is great in all different weather and wide ranges of temperatures great all around jacket

I live in this jacket: In spring and autum I wear it solitair. Especially during my work as a medical forensic at night. In winter, under my skijacket: keeps me warm , even when its -20 gr celcius!.

This is my everyday hoody for walking around Chicago. Surprisingly warm, can sometimes only wear this on cold Chicago days. Only downside is the material is thin and would rip easily if worn as an out layer when working. But it's not really designed as a work jacket so that's why I'm saying 5/5

On a winter vacation, this jacket kept me warm, was easy to pack, and was lightweight enough to be functional. One consideration is that in really cold or windy weather, a shell was almost required to stay warm enough because the mid-layer didn't block the wind that effectively on its own. I also am between sizes, and found that I needed the larger size to fit my hips comfortably. Otherwise, I love it!

Ich trage diese Jacke nun schon einige Jahre. Sie hat mir insbesondere im Winter gute Dienste geleistet. Beim Wandern bei Temperaturen kanpp unter Null Grad perfekt. Trotz ihrer Leichtigkeit ist sie durchaus robust.

Bought this as my go to warm mid layer for frigid New England winters. I wore it several times in the winter of 2018 when the temps were -10 Fahrenheit , -30 when windchill was factored. The atom at layered with a Rho AR and the Beta AR did the trick as I post holed up a few local mountains. The jacket is also a great stand alone in the mid teens with just a t shirt underneath. The face appears rather durable as well. Overall amazing piece

bought the Atom AR after using the Atom LT for holidays in iceland, norway and sweden this year. Definitely a step up in insulation and wind resistance from the LT. Works great for our daily dog walking in the park, even when the wind is whistling. It's worked well from +10c to -19c so far this year. Having a warm hood is always a plus on the windy days.

This is the best jacket I have ever purchased. It is warm and wind resistant as well as light and compact.

This cloth turns out to be one of my favorite daily work clothes from Monday to Friday during winter time. Love it.

Used this jacket during Mt. Washington, NH hike. worked as expected. Kept me dry all the time during the hike.
