Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Thorium Hoody

Perfektes Wrme-/Gewichtsverhltnis, toller Schnitt, schliet rundherum gut ab.

I received this coat for a Christmas gift and couldn't be happier. The fit is great, including the length which hits below my hips.

Rad jacket that I'm constantly finding new features on. Typically use it as a single layer for running errands or cold morning walks but could be used with a shell for frigid adventures. Fits well with or without layers under it!

Bought it at the store yesterday. Beautiful warm jacket. It's super light and so comfortable. Wore it in very windy conditions and didn't feel cold. Its roomy. I usually wear a S or M in most brands.?The S in this jacket fit perfectly, with enough room, and I was wearing a thick sweater under it. Great value for the quality offered! The black is a neither matte, nor glossy, its just perfect

i really like my new Thorium jacket. it's very warm and there are lots of pockets for all the stuff i need to carry. i love the fit of the hood, and the arms are a tad long, which is a great feature. the hips are a bit snug, which is why i only gave it four stars. the description mentioned the jacket fit larger than the previous edition so i was surprised at the snugness. i would have preferred a little bit more room. i love the jacket though and will get lots of use out of it. i'd recommend it for sure but would suggest you try one on in person before ordering online.

Rated this jacket 4/5 because even with my kyanite base layer and 800 down fill light jacket underneath, the thorium did not prevent the wind from coming through, although the hood was reliable. I would rate this jacket 5/5 under -20c with minimal wind chill. However, adding a windchill over -5c plus, this jacket was seriously lacking for Artic like temps, in Calgary winters. Overall, comfortable fit, coverage great and hood easily fits over hat.

Good but you change the interior of pockets. Not soft anymore. Could be more adjustments. The mecanism at the hoody just broke at the first pull.

Brought this piece for my lady and she is absolutely pleased with it. As a stand alone she says it's great, coupled with the kyanite hoody. It's comparable to a suit of armor. Warmth, stand alone in 25-30 degree Fahrenheit with a windchill and a real feel of 20 does the trick just fine. We're both pleasantly surprised by its pack ability. Only complaint is the hood, but to be honest it just may be knit picking at that point. She said and I quote "I wish the hood and the collar wasn't attached." Other than that great jacket. Maybe the only down you would want to own outside the Cerium.

I am in the process of returning this jacket. It was too big. Otherwise, it was lovely. Hopefully the return process goes smoothly.

I bought this coat because I needed something warmer than my arcteryx atom. I like that the hood covers your whole head and the length is long enough to just cover the butt. It keeps me nice and warm. The only thing I wish, is that they made the shape of the coat slightly more flattering. It's quite boxy. It also fits larger than other arcteryx styles. I'm an xs in the atom heavyweight, but in this coat an xxs would have had a more flattering fit, unfortunately because of the boxy shape, I had to purchase the xs to make sure it would fit around the hip area, leaving it quite spacious around my upper body.

Good basic jacket. I am 5'1", hourglass shape and pleased the jacket cut adapts well, being a bit looser than some of the slimmer fit models. It's well made, comfortable and has been warm enough unlayered-for the lowest temperature range experienced to date of 32 degrees. If the jacket had a dual direction zipper-it would be a 5 star.

I recently bought the Thorium Hoody - looking for lightweight warmth. Other features I was looking for are length - I want it longer than most other jackets appear to be, and a decent colour. Unfortunately we're in a prolonged warm spell in Ontario so I haven't been able to really test its ability to keep me warm, but I think it will hold up. The armholes are narrower than other Arc'teryx jackets I own, but I will still be able to add a light layer underneath if needed.

I bought this version because its longer than the thorium, I'm 5'2, 120lbs, athletic build with wide shoulers and I wear a small to layer. An XS fits as well but a bit tight around my shoulders. Bought this a month ago in Toronto during black Friday and I would not buy this at full price. It's not as warm as you think unless you're moving around a lot, so I recommend layering. I commute and wear thermal layers and I still feel cold at only -2C. If it's windy out, you'll also feel cold, but I have hope that this jacket will be appropriate for winter sports when I head to Blue Mountain in January. The collar of the jacket goes up really high and is quite stiff, so it pokes in your face unless you zip it down your neckline or all the way up. Zipping up the jacket is also VERY finicky, it's angled weird and doesn't go through the bottom zipper easily I can't imagine zipping up when you're wearing gloves or have cold hands. The interior breast pocket is a bit too shallow for my liking, but nothing has fallen out yet so its good enough. The hoody when zipper up fully is also very puffy and I like it, but it might look weird if you're not into that.

It is a warm jacket and doesn't shed like others of a similar categories do. It has stronger fabric. The jacket has a bit larger fill sections which makes it look a bit saggy and puffier than earlier version. The zipper end has already started to get stuck after a few wearing which I hope the store can fix it.

Bought this and the Thorium Jacket to compare. I much preferred the cropped look of the Jacket so this got sent back. This jacket felt very long on me (5'4 but I do have short legs and a long torso) so it just wasn't flattering on my body type.

The length is good, covers my butt. Sizing is good, generous. Warmth is good. Here's what I don't like: First thing: Fabric is see through. It is not white. Looks like camo. Can be a style, if that's what you're going for. But definitely not white. Only the shoulders and cuffs are really white. I think they doubled on the material in these spots. Second thing: I don't like that the logo is not on the chest anymore (but it still is on the men's version??). Just put the logo back where it was! Not on the sleeve, not on the cuff, not on the hood - on the chest!! Third thing: collar definitely is an irritant. You can't not zip it up, it doesn't lay down properly. Honestly I think I'll return for these reasons.

My chest is 32" and waist 27. I followed the size guide and purchased a size small. It turns out small is too big for me. I need to size down to at least xs. I got a deal during Black Friday but arcteryx doesn't offer exchange. Very disappointed.

The jacket itself is warn and comfortable. The hood however is massive. It has a bungie to make it fit better, but then it looks ridiculous because it gets tighter around the ears and still balloons up around the top and looks like a mushroom top. Also the cut of the jacket around the neck is awkward and annoying. It sticks out so high and far that it really gets in the way. If they change the neck and hood, I would like the jacket. As is, I will be searching for a new jacket for this winter as I can't wear this another winter.

I bought this as a replacement for my other Thorium AR that was destroyed in the wash. The quality is great, but the revised fit is awful. It's *huge.* I'm consistently a medium in all Arc'teryx products and I would have to size down to a S or XS to make this fit. It's also very, very long in both the torso and the arms. What's odd though is that the new cuts don't fit in the shoulders properly -- the whole jacket moves if you move which means it's not good for much other than sitting around a campsite or strolling in the city. This isn't built for movement. I am 5'10" and 135lbs for reference.
