Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoodie

My favorite thing about this jacket is how well it regulates temperature. Whether it's xc skiing in -20c or backpacking in the fall, I'm very comfortable. I even used it to keep the bugs off in the summer while climbing. It's trim but still has room for layers, cuts wind, and is still in good shape 3 years in. I think it's one of their most versatile jackets. I love it!

I bought this two years ago and use it for rock and ice climbing. It is showing no signs of wear at this point and I've been out on rock 50-60 days and 15 days of ice.The helmet compatible hood is fantastic. It was a thicker fabric than I was expecting from Arcteryx, but that is a plus. The sleeves are long enough for my ape-like friends. I do find around the back/armpits to be a bit smaller than other medium sized arcteryx pieces.

I already own the Atom LT which is really a wonderful jacket for layering while skiing. The Atom SL has no insulation in the arms and light weight material under the arms. It is cut slightly closer to the body than the LT but fits me perfectly. I really love this jacket. Just a warning I have a dog who loves to jump. This material is not overly durable by design and will rip easily.

As with this brand, you pay for really great stuff. Currently using it on a small ship cruise in the Greek isles. It is a great windbreaker and it looks good. It should last a long time and justify the investment. It looks great, too!

It fits well and comfortable.

I love the trim fit of this jacket. I can imagine wearing this from spring to Winter, backmountain to office. Love it.

The atom LT fits me a little loose. I like this trim fit. It also look stylish. I can wear it to office, backmountain, running, hiking, etc.

You get what you pay for. Quality product, will be buying again.

Have one for three years and wear it almost every day in winter as the middle layer. It keeps me the basic warm and it never get trouble when you sweat or when it rains. For colder days you might need to add some more layers but it is always the best second or third layer. I also wear it in a 150km cycling event with a real wet raing and cold weather, but it dry very fast when the weather become better. Daily use is also nice, I even wear it in office when it's a little cold. The only negative thing is the side get pill a little after some time, however it does not really bothers

good

I really like the product, the color was right with the website

Use this as a mid layer on moderate ski patrol days. Just wore it for a week of spring skiing in the Alps - perfect from 4,000' to 10,000'!

Got this for Christmas, my first arc'teryx product and am absolutely love it, will be buying more products in the future

It's very comfortable. I like it. It's very light to wear

This is my second one of these jackets. I like it as a nice jacket for when it's a little colder but you don't need a full on warm heavy jacket. Fit is good for me as the sleeves are a nice length.

Ridiculously light and extremely comfortable. I keep forgetting I'm wearing it! I think this is going to be perfect for jacket for "sweater weather" season and cool hikes. If you are wanting something for low output activities under 12 degrees Celsius I'd get one of the other Atoms but then you'll have nothing for when it's warmer but still chilly.

Very good material, it weighs very little and warm enough to do intense physical exercise. With a thermal t-shirt and this model you can go out at Zero Degrees Celsius without problem

I've got the half zip version of this and I love it. It is the perfect warmth for winter hiking in BC when an atom LT is too warm. I just used this up and down hiking to a peak in the monashees with only a base layer underneath and it was the perfect temperature. The hood and neck on mine aren't like my atom LT, the neck is reinforced so it's actually a pretty good neck "protector" from wind. The hood isn't insulated but it too is really good for windy days and it's also got a built in visor similar to the hoods on the hard shell jacketsjust not as robust. I have found my atom sl to be the perfect outer layer for hiking and winter running, or when I need an extra layer.

I have been using this jacket for over a year now and I really like it as a light mid layer. Its super breathable and impressively warm for the weight. I use it mostly ski touring and it now comes with me 80% of the time.

I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the Atom AR other than this one doesn't have an adjustable hood. They are both great pieces.

I've had this jacket for a couple of year and mostly use it for hiking and climbing in the spring/ summer/ autumn. I am planning on running in it this winter and I imagine it would also be a great ski touring layer. It could also be used as a mid-layer in colder months. The helmet compatible hood and high hand pockets are great for use with a harness making it an excellent alpine/ climbing jacket. It's so lightweight that that there really isn't any reason not to bring it on an adventure. The only improvement I would make would be for it to pack into its own pocket in order for it to go on the back of a harness.

Purchased a year ago and this is the jacket I wear most. Very comfortable and warm, yet breathes well. I wear it mostly for walking outside and general use. I wish they had a pocket at the chest whether inside or on outside of jacket but maybe in a revised version. I wear this jacket down to about 32F. I have broad shoulders and overall athletic build, 6' 200lbs and wear XL.

I bought the jacket in august to gear up for fall. After owning the Atom LT, this version of the jacket fits my needs exactly!

Lightweight, easy to pack / carry, and perfect for fall and spring temps. Absolutely love this jacket.

Took this coat up the Tetons worked great for quick changing temps
