Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoodie

If you are travelling between cities and it gets a little colder in the flight, during evening time in that city - this jacket is perfect. Its super light weight and packable. Looks great, protects from light rain, etc. It gets chilly in SF in the summer during evening - this is the perfect jacket for that.

For me it's a toss-up between this and the Proton LT, although the proton is maybe meant for 5-10 degree F colder weather. The coreloft is so nice and soft, the jacket is ridiculously comfortable. The outer has held up to regular washing and the occasional tumble dry, and the inner coreloft hasn't done any pilling or thinning or anything that you normally deal with with fleece. The "Arc'teryx" styling on the hood looks great, too. Classic Arc'teryx piece that combines form, comfort, and function.

I bought this jacket as something to wear in Washington in the fall to spring timeframes. It has performed perfectly! It is comfortable, doesn't over heat you, and can easily be worn in and outdoors. It quickly has become my favorite jacket.

This is a must for three seasons. Warm but light and wicks sweat amazingly

This jacket is underrated. It's the perfect mid-level jacket for the in between seasons of spring and fall. I even find myself reaching for it on cool summer evenings. Because the SL is the lightweight and pared down version of its much more popular sibling the Atom LT, you don't get the fuss and bells and whistles like an internal breast pocket, it still does the trick of staving off the chill and provides just enough breathability to support a quick run in cooler weather. For extra protection it throw on a hard shell and I'm good for a windy/rainy winter day. Yes it packs down well and provides a solid emergency layer when the temps unexpectedly dips.

This is a great light weight jacket/hoody. It makes for a great mid layer. Perfect as a light travel jacket.

I have used this everyday since I got it! It acts as a light jacket in warmer weather and as a comfortable, windproof mid-layer when the temperature drops.

I wear this all year. I have worn it throughout the winter while working ski patrol, I wear it rock climbing, running, doing daily errands and while traveling. I love this as a stand-alone layer, a light jacket in the summer or a valuable layer in winter. Incredibly versitile, great cut and super flattering. I love this layer.

Jacket fitted perfect with my Arc'teryx Rush jacket, quite warm.

I'm a winter sports guy. When you can afford to get down wet this is the cost for you.

Loving it , great fabric soft to touch, great look ,slim fit and just great for that cool summer morning.

I wouldn't change a thing about the Atom SL. I'm 6'5 180 lbs and the XL fits great.

Regulating temperature in irregular seasons isn't easy to dress for, this item is the solution. Whether I'm switching from Heat to A/C, walking the dogs in the warm spring sun or jogging on a soggy cooler evening, the Atom SL does the job. You'll forget you're even wearing it.

Just bought recently. Fit well , love the Color . Can't wait to wear in the spring

I just got this for an Ireland trip . Worked great for some rain, cool winds and packed up very small

After a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, my SL Atom was my favourite piece of gear that I carried. Was a perfect layer to hike in - kept me at a perfect temperature in a variety of conditions, and was an excellent cover for bugs while seated. Quick to dry, somehow always kept me at a perfect temperature, lightweight, extremely comfortable.

A great lightly insulated jacket for cool weather and high output activities!

I initially bought this jacket as a rain coat and have been thoroughly impressed. I wore it out during a rainstorm and the water just slips right off and kept me dry the entire time. The jacket also allows me to stay cool and doesn't build too much heat. I would recommend the jacket for hiking, as a raincoat, or as a wind breaker. Originally bought an XS as I have a smaller build (135 lbs, Male), but wanted to have some extra room for layers in the fall so opted for an S which is slightly larger for me.

I've had this jacket for 3 years now, and just bought my second one! For most of the weather in Seattle this jacket is just the right amount of warmth. It's also really comfortable and useful on windy or misty days.

Bought it because I run a little hot but needed a jacket to cut the chill. Just what I needed.

It's was my first Arc'teryx purchase and will always be my favourite. Super light weight but still gives you the warmth that you need!

I picked this jacket up at a local retailer. I've wanted to try Arc'teryx for a long time. I opted for the ATOM SL namely because I wanted something warm that wasn't a full jacket but a vest with sleeves. Very quickly, I mean quickly, this became my go-to piece in a variety of conditions: I have taken this jacket climbing on many adventures (works wonderfully on belay) but on one super windy/sprinkling afternoon in Utah, I was warm and the jacket cut the wind easily. I took this jacket traveling and found it very useful for colder nights in the summer It makes a great pillow on trains, at camp, at the crag and on airplanes I took this jacket up King's Peak, UT, and found it a key piece of kit in staying warm. I moved to the east coast and forgot my umbrella on a dumping rain day. I threw this on and even though it was completely soaked, the jacket retained its warmth. I was shocked to be super warm yet super soaked. Even after many adventures, the jacket has retained its strength with no major cuts that need repair. This has been an amazing piece of kit that I wish I would've had years ago. It's a constant companion and well worth the purchase. Its versatility alone is why this jacket matters. I never get too hot or too cold. It's comfortable to wear going up a strenuous hill and warm on belay in the summer or fall.

I bought this jacket a couple months ago and I wear it everyday. The colour is vibrant and beautiful (I bought the blue) and its perfect for those days where a t-shirt isnt enough but a jacket is too much. Fits me perfectly (5'4, 150lbs, typically a size small) and doesnt restrict movement in the slightest. Currently contemplating how many other colours I need in this exact jacket LOL.

I bought this a few days ago but boy has it become one of my favourites. I love the water repellent properties, but it still has stretch panels in the arms and torso so it's stretchy and doesn't restrict any movement. As a curvy girl, it's hard to find a jacket that stretches around the chest without having to size up due to that. Awesome job on this jacket. Will definitely buy more.

Really happy w purchase. Xxl did fit nice. Love Mesmer color.
