Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Kyanite AR 1/2 Zip

I love this so much, i bought two! The small size fit is perfect for a 5'9", 160 lbs adonis of a Man. Okay, I'm no adonis, but everything else is true. The Fit is great, its soft, its warm, it has a zippered kangaroo pouch, and the 1/2 zip makes it easy to take on/off. Even my Mom says her special little boy looks soo handsome, so don't think about just buy it and make your mama proud!

I recently purchased this versatile pull polartec polar and I am very satisfied with purchase. It is warm and can be used either for outdoor activities in spring I'd fall or as a basic coat under your jacket for cold weather. It is made of smooth quality fabric. I highly recommend this item!

I bought this because I like the Kyanite AR thickness. It is just right. Sweater warmth and not being too light like many other of my layers. It is comfortable, moves with me and never binds or pulls while skiing in the moguls. It breaths well. And, if I get a little warm going in and out of buildings, I just zip down the 1/2 zip, slide the sleeves above my elbows to regulate my body temperature. Plus, it's a pretty handsome looking layer and good quality for the work environment. Note, it has sweatshirt tubular type hand warmer pocket. It was not apparent from the picture when ordering on line. It's not a negative. I still love this top.

I was after a new fleece and having returned the Delta LT jacket due to poor fit and with no Kyanite LT's available, I turned to the Kyanite half zip. Having owned the Kyanite fleece jacket (2019) i have high expectations for this fleece. So far the fit is very good - I am 197cm and this fleece is long enough with good proportions. It feels warm, breathable with a good amount of stretch, making this a very versatile top. Although the material feels thinner than that of the 2019 Kyanite jacket and the fit is less fitted, more regular. I am hopeful this will serve me well.

I rarely buy clothing at this price point without trying it on but the reviews were so strong I had to try - so glad I did. I live in quarter/half zips of various brands, most of them of the "base layer" weight. This is a notch heavier and more lush feeling than those which I love. It's a perfect layer over a T-shirt, worn alone, or as a layer under my new Gamma MX. I expected the comfort but I was surprised by the style; my wife complemented it highly as soon as I put it on; I immediately ordered a second one. I'm 6'1", 220 lbs and the XL fits great. Highly recommend.

I love this fleece jacket. It is extremely warm, soft and comfortable! The sweatshirt like front pocket with zippers is an awesome addition!

This is my third Kyanite AR to go along with about 30 other ARCTERYX garments. Much better material than the delta (this doesn't collect and hold lint etc.). It's warm and well built-so far. Fit is spot on.

This fleece surpirsed me. It was softer, warmier, stretchier, and better looking than I had expected. Additionally, I like how the kangaroo pocket also helps it vent. I can't speak to the long term durability of the piece but it has held up great all winter so far.

Warm and very comfortable. Would highly recommend. I'm a big fan of the quarter/half zip tops and have owned a few from other companies. This is maybe slightly more than a wanted to pay but glad I did. My arcteryx wardrobe is growing!

Very happy with this purchase. Comfortable and very warm.

Remarkably comfortable and warm. This is my new go-to fleece.

I bought this a month ago, and it's now my go-to mid-layer coming into Winter

This has become my favorite 1/4 zip. Comfortable material, well made, warm, fits perfectly. I would say it fits true to size. But it seems it's made to fit a more athletic frame.

Simply flawless, another great buy, just ticks all the boxes.

The material is unlike anything I've ever owned. Southern regions don't require some of the same levels of insulation Arcteryx is known for. This is an amazing hoodie if you're planning on spending for quality. It breathes perfect for most fluctuating conditions in this area. As always the "fit" is really unmatched for people that are active. During this time of year it's hard to get too hot or cold with this hoodie. Would definitely purchase again!!!

Typical high quality Arc'teryx design, materials, and manufacturing. Highly versatile layer which adapts to a range of temperature needs. Soft and comfortable.

Good product. I thought it would be a little heavier and have more room around the shoulders as it was a little tight under the arms. But, not a game changer. I would buy this again.

Nice product, but too many similar products out there at 1/2 the cost with same level of quality and effectiveness.

Purchased this sweater and a Macai jacket for the new year - a month later the sweater is in such poor condition I would be embarrassed to wear it in company.
