Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Thorium Jacket

The size guide was a tremendous help. It was a gift for my 6'2" 160lb 20 yo son and the medium was the right fit even though I thought I should get the large. It's exactly what he wanted to wear on cold days at college or under his Arcteryx shell skiing. Great looking jacket and very warm.

I bought this jacket this month. I am very happy with it. This is my fifth Arc'teryx jacket. I am not out door enthusiast but the craftsmanship of Arc'teryx has always impressed me!

Excellent jacket. Much warmer than expected. Can be used as a liner or a stand alone jacket. Highly recommend.

Really pleased with this jacket. Excellent quality and great fit. Does the job it is meant to do and more.

Had it for a month now and don't regret buying it at all!

Better than expected, great fit and I would highly recommend

Went with a mens M, not a womens large. They fit similar, but sleeves and body are longer. I am 5'5" 135. I can baselayer and midlayer easily if needed. Best thing are the substantial zippers that, unlike competitors, work great even with gloves. Warm and lightweight. Fabric does not feel flimsy.

Had this jacket for about 2-months now. Hands down the best shoulder season/light winter jacket I've had in quite a while. I can go outside at -10 C with only a t-shirt as my base layer and still feel toasty. Pair it with a fleece layer and you are easily good to -20 C. The amount of warmth you get for the weight is fantastic. You'll feel the high quality construction the minute you put it on.

I found it to be quite warm it is an awesome winter jacket

Warm, comfortable, very light and a nice colour too (forage). The articulated sleeves are excellent, as always

I initially purchased the medium sized coat based on my chest size of 40". I found it too small. I purchased the large and returned the medium. The coat is great, easy to wear and very warm. The refund process was absolutely painless, no quibble and quick. Good internal pockets which I find handy. I got caught out in a shower which the coat shrugged off with no problem. I can thoroughly recommend the coat.

I bought two weeks ago and love it, I mainly use to walk around and drive in the car.

Bought for my husband to wear on its own or under his shell. Warm but trim, perfect for New York winters. Great zippers, durable outer fabric. Best hoodless jacket.

Fits perfectly. I got it as an everyday jacket for the 30- 40 degree winters here in NYC. So far very pleased.

This jacket is amazingly warm!!! Same awesome quality as the Throium AR hoodie but much improved!! It has normal size zippers. I like that option a lot. The 2 dump pockets, on the inside, is large. The cuffs fit perfectly on my wrist. Chest pocket is perfectly placed. Totally worth it. It seems a tiny bit larger on my chest area than the Thorium AR hoodie. This jacket will be perfect mid-layer for winter activities. I am 5' 5", 160lbs with athletic build. Purchased the large size to fit my shoulders

I have been wearing the jacker for a few weeks now and love it. I had down jackets from two other (well known) brands that left me covered in feathers every time I took them off. It was embarrassing. I'm glad to report that my Thorium jacket is not only warm and has a good fit (I'm 175cm with an athletic build and got an M) but the feather situation is mostly under control, with the exception of longer walks. If there is one grip I have it would be the zipper. It can is finicky which at this price point feels like it shouldn't be an issue.

Too many models, too close And more an more expensive

I was searching for an everyday winter down jacket, and I was hoping to get something other than another popular down jacket that a lot of people wear in this town. The Thorium has so far been an excellent choice in almostevery regard. I love the color (black sapphire) and the outer material seems to be a step up over similar jackets. The fill seems adequate and provides warmth without giving you the Michelin Man look. My only complaint is that for me, who wears a medium across the board in every other brand, the fit of this jacket is a little snug. I'm 5'11", 175 pounds, fit/athletic build, and for me the medium Thorium could use one more inch in the body (chest and below). It works great over just a t-shirt, but if I want to add even the lightest of layers (e.g., a primaloft synthetic vest, which is pretty thin), then it starts to get a bit tight. I'm keeping it, but I think this should be billed as a "fitted" and not a "regular" fit. And if next year's has that extra inch of room (and comes in black sapphire), then I'll replace my current version with that.

just bought this and it arrived quickly. A bit shocked though to find it ships in a pillow size brown bag. What kind of serious cold weather protection can be contained in that form factor? Ultra delicate construction, does not look like something that will not start coming undone in ordinary use in the next 3 months. Here's my issues in no particular order: a. the dual zipper should go, who needs to unzip from the bottom? Sadly, found it will unzip on its own, because there's nothing there to maintain the zipper's position. b. uneven fill at the collar, and what is there is underwhelming to begin with c. uneven openings at the sleeves d. waist cinch - two issues here, one the actual cinch mechanism needs to be on the user's side of the anchor, not the opposite. Recall as you wear the garment you finger will catch the pull, and once constrained something has to lock the desired position. As it is constructed the sliding locking piece is on the wrong side, and will not anchor the desired cinch position, lol. QA people, inspect your own work. Second issue is, on the other side of the garment they put two sliding locking pieces on one side of the garment, where there only should be one. I really wanted to like this garment, but it is as thin as a handkerchief in feeling and looks like it will fail in the weeks to come

Size is too large compared to the Atom. Had to go to S which fits too tight.

I bought the Medium size thinking it would fit like the Atom, but it is too wide at the shoulders and the sleeves are too long. Returned it for Small, but that fits too tightly.
