Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom SL Anorak

I bought the Revel color and get countless compliments on how beautiful it is, it really stands out. The jacket gives a beautiful shape, is warm when it needs to be, and dry's very quickly.

After owning this for about 6 months, it quickly became a staple in ym wardrobe. The fit is fantastic (true to size) and the anorak styling keeps me nice and cozy. Great for climbing especially.

I love this anorak for climbing. I like the long zipper for warm days, hoody for windy days, fabric and cut/fit. It has a more breathable fabric under arms which also makes me feel like I can move more fluently.

I always keep this in my bag as a spare layer when I'm on a light hike or travelling. It's super lightweight and packable, it cuts the wind and provides just enough warmth for subtle temperature drops.

Awesome mid layer or light outer for spring to fall. Packable, great fit.

I run hot, but also cool down quickly when in the elements- so this jacket has been extremely versatile for this Fall. I use this for trail running, ski touring, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, etc. This packs fairly small in my running vest, which is perfect for the uphill. Just enough insulation to keep me going all day long!

First of all, I'm not the biggest fan of any of the other Atom jackets, and usually find that Arcteryx doesn't fit me well ("athletic build", slim top with a long torso, muscular lower body), but this jacket is AMAZING. First, love the dark green colour. Not a classic womens colour and I'm here for it. I love the anorak style with a long zipper! The chest pocket is great - I can run trails with my phone in it without it bouncing too much. The fit is slim but still has room for my hips. I wore this on an 8 day backpacking trip in northern BC and literally did not take it off except to wash in a glacial fed stream and my only complaint is that it didn't smell great, but you can't have it all. Great for hiking, trail running, around town. And has held up to some pretty solid use so far.

Perfect weight for spring/fall and cool summer nights. Super soft and flexible- not restrictive like my shell. I did size up which I'm glad, normally an xs, ordered a sm and it's perfect.

This item is simply amazing! Love the overall style and design. The pipe dream colorway is amazing, so sophisticated and beautiful. The zipper comes down low which makes it easy to pull on and take off. Super comfy & versatile. Looking forward to next seasons's colors!

This piece functions a bit like a weatherproofed Fortrez hoody or a sleeker Proton FL. I love the anorak style for climbing because there is less zipper and pocket bulk around your waist where your harness sits, but there is still a chest pocket for your phone and snax. I also really appreciate the deep chest zip for optimizing temperature regulation. This jacket has a really high warmth-to-bulk ratio so it excels when you want lots of mobility but also need to stay warm. This is an especially great piece for getting outside when the weather is a bit suspect.

I got this during the transition from winter to spring and it has been the perfect addition to my closet!! It's the ideal mid layer and also is amazing for running outdoors when it's 0-10C. Super light, breathes well and love that it's got some water resistance as well. It's my favourite layer now!

So much better than expected! So light, yet great warmth. I have used this anorak for skiing (layering), hiking, biking, everyday! The Pipe Dream colour is amazing! Packable and versatile. Great gear addition and i love it so much, I'm considering getting another in another colour because i am afraid i will wear this one out!! :)

I purchased the M size and sadly had to return it. I'm athlectic, with BROAD shoulders and a D bust, so I found the trim fit a bit too trim.. the L fixed that, I have room for a tee underneath, and the light weight combined with stretch for movement and a little insulation makes for the perfect spring/fall hiking jacket. The colour is just fabulous! Not the cheapest product around, but the quality definitely stacks up.

Love! Awesome lightweight pullover, fits well, looks & feels great. Been great for warmer winter days of snowshoeing and fat biking. Looking forward to enjoying it hiking, biking, running and riding as spring arrives.

I bought this jacket when it became available to compliment my layering kit. This jacket is lighter than the Atom LT which makes it great for wearing on top of 1 base layer. I find it ideal for car rides to the mountain and I layered it with a Cerium & Sentinel LT for a -5 day at Whistler. The neck comes up high which is what I love about Arc'teryx jackets. I typically purchase a Medium in Arc'teryx Jackets but got a Small since I will only wear a thin base layer under this one. It is very flattering and I received several compliments on it :) The Anorak zipper comes down lower than a half zip which will be great for touring or trail running!

Love the design with zipper which comes down low, also the hood which can be tugged away. All three colors are beautiful. Yet I wish the logo were still printed instead of embodied the thread on letter A started to run! Also the fabric does not seem to be as sturdy as the old version of Atom Lt, so far I only used the jacket for running for about 2 weeks, washed it for 3 times, there are scattered spots which started to pile.

I purchased (and fell in love with) the Atom LT earlier this year. The medium fits me perfectly in the LT, and I was quite excited to purchase the lighter SL version as well. I tried the SL hoody, but was disappointed that the fit was trimmer in the midsection (chest area) only. I then ordered the SL Anorak, hoping that would work better. I found the Anorak to be an even slimmer fit. The stretchy material on the sides of the jacket in no way compensate for how much smaller this jacket fits in the back/chest area. I ended up returning the medium and ordering a large, which was better but was then too big in the hips and arms. Love the jacket, beautiful color (pipe dream), just wish the fit was more in line with the new (and wonderful) LT.

I was excited to get this! It fits well and is comfortable but I find it looks yellow in the image online, but in "real life" it has this green undertone. The yellow on the fabric inside the jacket is actually much nicer than the outside!
