Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Kyanite AR Jacket

i really like the feel and fit. Well designed lines

Une laine polaire lgre mais combien efficace! Le fit est parfait pour moi qui cherchais une laine polaire mince et ajuste. Je l'ai achet comme premire couche aprs celle de base mais je l'ai toujours sur le dos. Je l'aime d'amour!

Purchased this last month fit great and it's now my favourite to wear as an anytime go to fleece. Great product will buy another colour.

I've had this jacket for well over a year and it still looks new. The fleece is top quality. I am most surprised at how great the fleece still looks. 0 pilling. It fits very well and feels light but still keeps you warm (temps over 45-50F). My only con is that the pockets can look bulky even when they're empty. I use it as my daily wear in the winter and its perfect, I definitely recommend it. I'm here looking to buy a second one in another color.

I purchased this jacket/ fleece about 18 months ago and it has performed brilliantly with no issues. Firstly, it's very warm for its weight and fits great. Four things that stand out are, it's very quick drying, the zip has bumps to stop it from going down and there are very large pockets. The best thing though is that the pockets are lined with a soft mesh material and when open/ unzipped they allow the jacket to breath and ventilate. In summary a very smart and clever jacket.

Je cherchais quelque chose porter sous mon Atom LT, je n'ai aucun regret, c'est lger et c'est chaud, je marche ou cour 10 km chaque jour et ce polar me sert trs bien cet hiver!

I've had my Kyanite AR for a month now and I'm loving it.Great mid-layer,and outer shell.Weather is getting colder now. I anticipate warmth this season.Soo glad I got it.

Great product, would definitely recommend for all activities

Very comfortable. Soft on skin. Drew attention from my Mom for whatever that's worth. Medium is true fit. I wear a lot of mediums and Arcteryc traditionally is a little snug around the waist. This garment fit just right. I like the Forage color. Not overwhelming.

I bought this on a whim when l needed to kit up for my first ever ski experience as an adult! My absolute go-to sweater-jacket for everyday in SFlooks very sleek and way more attractive than that chunky cardigan that's over-worn by many a tech worker. Moreover I find it to be super effective at keeping me warm and not too hot when my temp changes. It's been 3 years and the only wear on the jacket has been the fracturing of the little tie that goes around the zippernot a huge deal because the loop has become two strands.

I honestly wear this everyday and will find any excuse to wear it. It's so soft, comfortable, fits great, and versatile.

This has become one of my favorite fleece layers. Depending on the season here in Minnesota you can find me in this (Komorebi is a dope color) or a Delta LT, both for hanging around the house or for outdoor adventures. Once winter hits, though, it's the Kyanite AR. The smooth face fabric is slick looking - I've gotten compliments on it - and it's really really comfortable. I've ice climbed in it as an insulation layer, an outer layer dry tooling, a mid-layer snowboarding, a warm-up and between-climbs layer in the climbing gym, and it looks great just out and about. I've certainly taken it through its paces and it still looks great. Also comfy for traveling and a nice stretch to it that doesn't impede movement when I'm active. I run cold so when winter hits here I need some heavier mid options and this is a great go-to. So great I'm definitely picking up more!

Purchased this fleece online not really knowing what to expect. But once received, pleasantly surprised and better than expected. It fits really well, is warm and lightweight. When I've had to wash it, it dries really quickly which is good. It feels well made and should last well.

I pondered about which fleece product to buy as there are so many to choose from. In all honesty I wanted a polartec fleece product with stretch and this fit the bill perfectly. I'm 6'2" 15st and wear a large and it's perfect. This is a more between fitted to casual fit on me which I like a lot. The first thing I noticed about this product is the feel of it, the materials are real quality. I bought this as a layer under a jacket on a colder day and for general casual wear with some jeans and it looks and feels the part. I'm tempted to buy the hooded version.

I bought this two weeks ago as a recommendation from friend. Very happy about my purchase. Soft, and comfortable

By far the most comfortable jacket for daily use. The fabrics just feel comfortable next to skin and provide a decent amount of warmth without overheating like Delta MX. The fit is slightly larger than Deltas but you won't feel stretched by fabrics when moving around. If you are looking for something ultralight or weather-resistant this may not be the one, but can be a great piece for daily commuting to office.

Have been wearing this since the weather has started to cool down and it's been perfect for prairies weather. Even better for layering under an insulated jacket for early morning walks. The stretch fabric is very comfortable too!

Been wearing this for a couple weeks now, and all I can say is this is the best fitting fleece I've ever owned. I am slim and lanky (6'4", 193 lb) and the XL fits perfectly. Been out in some 40F weather so far and it's felt comfortable and pretty warm for how light it is. Can't wait to incorporate it into my layers for the slopes this winter.

This is a great piece! As the AR would suggests, it is bulkier than the LT version and feels like it can take more abuse due to that. It is a great piece to either layer underneath a shell, or as a stand alone depending on the temperatures that you are operating in. I gravitate more to the Kyanite AR then say the Atom or the Proton when the weather begins to turn. Until I need something a bit more substantial. I think it is hard to manage everyone's expectations about what one expects out of a piece since many articles have some overlap, but this one is a great all around piece that covers many of the other niched pieces.

I've been using this jacket for fall rock climbing, hiking and just hanging outside in the Canadian Rockies. The fit is comfortable enough for casual wear, but trim enough to fit under a harness. The fabric has great stretch and doesn't impede climbing movement. It also strikes a good balance between breathability so it doesn't turn into a sweatbox while hiking, but enough wind resistance for breezy fall days. Durability is good: after quite a few pitches my jacket has only a few small holes in it from sharp Rockies limestone. So far I've been using it as an outer layer, but as the temps drops I foresee it being a great midlayer under a shell on warmer ice climbing days. All in all it's quickly become one of my go-to pieces.

I got this in the Glitch color and I absolutely love it. If you want a athletic fit, get your original size - if you want a bit more open and structured, size up. If you want a slim fit, size down. I'm 5'8 165 lbs with a slender dad bod physique and large fits flattering and perfect for me. The sleeves are ribbed so they don't look overly baggy / too long. The model on the link is wearing a medium, and that shows the athletic fit that the jacket can have when it's true to size. Size down if you want to be one with the jacket to show off your curves. I think the reason this received questionable reviews is because the Polartec material feels a bit thinner. But it is just as warm as the previous edition. It's stretchy, and really well made. It's slightly thicker and much more comfortable than the LT. Here's why I love this. If you like a Patagonia better sweater, or a Covert cardigan - this will absolutely give you a run for your money. It provides more mobility, and is almost like the tech version of a good old fall sweater jacket. It's lighter, easier to pack, provides sensible insulation - yet still allowing you to wear it at home and outdoors. I think this jacket may be my most favorite at Arc'teryx ever - you just have to be careful with your sizing + physique because of the molding that the jacket provides - it's stretchy, and roomy at the same time.

Great quality jacket, soft and light weight. Order your typical size.

This has been my go to for walking around town as well as in the office. It's very warm, comfortable, and breathes well too. This will be my main mid-layer for outdoor winter sports.

Demands & complaints. Wondering, how people aspect to feet everybody's personal desires for everybody's personal bodily futures. It's good to have a personnel couturier to fulfil all personal desires. I'm a costumer for more than 10 years. Don't have complaints. Some items I've bought 10 years ago is still in use and in a good shape. This product going to use at least for the next 7 months daily. In Sweden winter could be for a half a year at list. Long walks on the forest road and just sitting in the chair outside house on the farm by the lake. 184 sm 100kg neck tide and body feet slim. Warm and light. In the beginning of October using it with Solano Hoodie, and later with Atom AR Hoodie.
