Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Gamma LT Hoodie

I wore an older soft shell (the epsilon maybe?) in a size M for years, but recently retired it and wanted a replacement. Love this in the green colour (which is more of a blue green than a true forest green). I'm usually a small, but often have to size up in Arcteryx jackets to get the length I need. I was really happy with the sizing - I took a small in this jacket and it has enough room for layers underneath and isn't too short. A bit more of a feminine cut would be nice though - a little narrower through the waist with a little more room through the hips.

I have owned my Atom SL Hoody for a year now, and wear it 3-4 times a week for running, walking, and hiking. Like other Arc'teryx products this one is incredibly well made. What I'm particularly impressed by is the trim fit and perfect weight for rigorous outdoor endeavors. It is the perfect piece of kit for a chilly morning or afternoon hike, and the weather protection it provides is pretty amazing compared to other jackets I've tried. Overall, a flawless design and execution.

I am on my 5th season with my first Atom SL Hoody and just bought my 3rd one. I use them in the winter alpine, nordic and backcountry skiing. The other 3 seasons I use the Atom SL for biking, hiking and travel.

I'm on my second Atom SL. This is my favorite jacket. I live on NorCal so winter is mild and this jacket is perfect for most days. Pair with a quality wool base for skiing Tahoe on a bluebird. Cover with a Gore-Tex hard shell to stand up to a Sierra storm. Only complaint the outer fabric is susceptible to fraying from abrasion against an outer layer under pressure points like pack straps or elastic cuffs.

This is my absolute favourite Arc'teryx jacket for hiking!! It's the perfect protection from wind and light rain on the mountain tops! I don't over heat in this and it's perfect for under my shell on heavy rain days!

the lightest insulation is perfect for those just barely cool morning walks in Pennsylvania right now.

A freind mentioned that this was her go-to jacket and I had to take advantage of a sale. I am thrilled I did. It has quickly become my daily jacket. I live in Wyoming, where winters get cold. I am completely comfortable wearing just this over a long sleeve. I also love that it is so packable. I tend to wear it when I start any activity, and then can easily stuff it in my backpack if I get warm. I am 5'7" and 168 pounds. I got a large and it fits perfectly.

I use this piece as my mid layer for ski tours. It's a perfect combination of warmth and lightweight. I recommend it to everyone

My go to jacket when hiking, light and compact keeps me warm when paired with a wool long sleeve T on most Winter days. I've worn all Winter even on days in the low 20's. Paired with a Cerium LT Hoodie on colder days and I'm usually too warm.

Love this amazing jacket. Works in all manner of weather between 32F and 65F. Comfortable and light.

Fits perfectly - in the arms, the waist, the shoulders, the hips. Like it was made for me. The stretchy fabric is awesome because it gives room for layers (can fit a fleece+ baselayer under) but with just a baselayer it doesn't look loose/baggy. I'm 5'7, 125 lbs. XS according to size charts and wouldn't size up. Only thing, I have the "Wonderland" colour. I thought it would be more vibrant from the pics online but it's more of a dusty berry colour. I actually like the colour even better than how it looks online though. I prefer more muted colours. (See pic for a better idea) Super warm for the fact that it packs to almost nothing. Does get wrinkly easily though!

I've had the Atom SL for nearly a year. I live in Nashville, TN where winters are mild. The SL hoody is more versatile than a vest for this climate. It can handle light rain and is packable. I have nine Arc'teryx jackets, which all play a role. This SL is a frequent go to jacket. It will be in the backpack on my next Camino de Santiago.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and haven't worn it yet but I have one in another colour. I like it so much that I wanted a back in a fun colour. I take this on cooler mornings/evening when paddle boarding and hiking on days with a bit of wind. Moves great in both activities and just a great light weight warm weather jacket.

Love this! Who doesn't love the Atom LT, but this one, the SL, is just as fantastic for those less chilly, less blistery days. Still cuts the wind great. I sized up for a looser fit due to living in a warmer climate. Despite 1 size up, the cut is still so beautiful and flattering. Highly recommend.

This jacket lives up to its expectations. It's very lightweight and packable, moderately windproof and rain resistant and decent breathability for a weather resistant jacket. The proton line is definitely more breathable but less weather resistant. I love the sleeve length and cuff (or lack of) for this jacket. I use this jacket for winter runs and hikes up to about -2c and think I'll be using it a lot as a general spring jacket. Trim flattering fit and is holding up very well so far.

This jacket fits the perfect middle ground between windbreaker and midweight puffy. It has reasonable water repellency and wind protection for not being a hard shell. The insulation is light enough to really work/climb with it on but not sweat. Great mid layer for high output activities where you need just a little more than a base layer.

I use this on evening walks or as a extra layer when reaching the top of the mountain in summers or fall. easy to stuff in a backpack

Bought this piece after it got recommended to me by a friend that preferred that SL over the LT. As a big fan of the LT, I had to try it out and overall loved this jacket as well. I find it to have to perfect amount of insulation when it is cool but you'll be kind of active and on the move. Having no insulation in the sleeves is a huge game changer and does help to not overheat. The insulation in the torso and the fleece panel on the side helps regulate heat pretty well without having to zip down. The face fabric is as exceptional as any other atom, have not had any issues with it. Find it to be perfect as a casual piece as well, specially on cool summer nights. Overall, like my friend, I greatly recommend this jacket.

I bought this jacket to go between a light windshell like the Squamish hoody and a heavier insulated jacket like the Atom Lt. I have been very happy with the performance of this piece. It has just the right amount of insulation for cool days and breathes very well if you are moving. I have done a few long approaches in it this fall. It has been the perfect layer for crisp morning starts where you want a warm layer but don't want to over heat while you are moving. The fit and ability to move in it is amazing. Climbing in it is a joy, again just a bit warmer than a stand alone windshell and stretchy enough to not be uncomfortable will climbing. It has also been great for casual evening walks this fall.

Love, love, love my new jacket. Got it in September as another level of jacket to wear curling this season. I have a slightly heavier weight one to wear when I skip, but when I sweep I need something a little lighter. This fits the bill and despite my somewhat COVID shaped body it looks so nice, both colour (Ellipse) and fit (I'm a Large in all my Arceryx tops). I have Arcteryx sweaters, shirts, pants and jackets that all look as good as the day I bought them. In all the products I have purchased only one ever failed due to wear and that was replaced. Love this brand.

it fit very well and i wear it for mst of occasion

I have 2 of these jackets because when I had just one, I kept wearing it long last the time it needed to be washed because i didn't want to be without it. It is my go-to cool weather jacket for hiking and mtn biking. It has replaced a fleece, because I appreciate the windbreaker qualities. The light insulation is perfect. And I really appreciate the lack of bulk and perfect trim fit. Nothing extra.

I bought this jacket a few months ago for ourdoors activities and it did not dissapoint. It is comfortable and stylish, light weight but warm and cozy, with a streamlined fit for maximum movement, and longer length in the back.

Bought this in the springtime and have worn it several times a week since. It's perfect for spring, late summer nights and even brisk fall days. Fits perfect and is fairly water repellent.

I bought my 3rd version of this not long ago, and it continues to hold up great as a stand-alone on some now mid-40s to mid-50s days/nights, sometimes wet too. Also a solid mid-layer, good wind and light rain protection.
