Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cerium Vest

Arcteryx items are always light and in beautiful colors. I did not like this vest so much though because of the straight cut. I’m old but I still have a waist and since I’m short I need it to show or I look like a small bag of flour on legs. Having lived through the 50’s once, a return to those cuts doesn’t interest me. Too unisex for even an old lesbian.

Had this almost a year and wore it occasionally and enjoyed the cut and size. Sadly the down in the back section started to shift and shed through the seems. Appears defective as other areas of the vest have remained fluffy and have a request out for warranty. Fingers crossed that I just got a dud as other products have held up well for many years.

This vest fits true to size. Bought it in black so it compliments any colour i wear underneath. I use it under a 3 season jacket to winterize it. Works well for apres ski when you might be a little chilled from the elements you were exposed to all day too. The Cerium SV version works well over a gortex shell to add extra warmth when the temperature drops unexpectedly during the day.

I bought this vest at the beginning of winter and I haven't stopped wearing it since. I love it for having an extra layer around my core in the backcountry for the ride down on cold days, and even just to wear around town. It's very packable for backcountry adventures and comes with a little stuff sack in the front pocket.

This is the type of vest I've been looking for. I love it. It's thin and slim, so it's great to layer underneath. It's comfortable and really warm.

This is the 3red Arc'teryx down vest I own. Besides a good design and fit, I like that it comes to below my hips. I get very cold in the small of my back so am always looking for something to give me protection there.

I bought the vest two weeks ago. I'm 5'10 and got XL. Very comfortable, light, love the collar, which is just the perfect hight.

I have nothing to say but excellent vest, super warm, very versatile in layering (either outer or inner). I purchased (3/2022) in small (90 lbs, 5,1in) perfect size for me, love the color (labyrinth). I like very much the high neck zip up because that's where I get easily cold and escape the body hit quickly. This is absolutely a keeper.

This is my favorite vest for travel. I have this in 2 other colors and couldn't resist buying the labyrinth. It packs down small and provides quite a bit of warmth. I've used it under skiing shells as well and it was a great piece when I needed a bit more insulation.

It is a high quality product that meets our expectation: warm, compressible, and durable.

Have not tested in cold yet but upon arrival i was trying to decide between this one and another name brand vest. The fit is just for me. I have a hard time finding a very femenine fit to fit my curves, this is the only vest I have encountered that is perfect. Normally the bust doesnt fit and then the body is loose, this one fit perfectly in all areas.

I waited too long to oder this! Perfect for layering over a hoody or under a shell. Ive been wearing it non-stop and find it great for cold weather running and running errands alike. Fits well, light weight, and nice big pockets.

I needed a stylish lightweight warm vest for long walks with my dog. My rainwear is too bulky for clear sunny days and this vest is perect. I bought it at the storee in Vancouver and took it on its maiden walk today on a rare sunny weekend day. I noticed the down puffed up as I walked but thee beauty of this vest is that it has the warmth of down without thee bulk. Who wants to look like the Micheelin tire maan anyway? I also like the neck--not too high but flattering. I bought mine in black because it is my favouritee color and matches best with my sports tops. I am a size 6 but I bought a Medium because the cut is fitted. I'll be able to wear it over sweaters ss well as with sport tops. I love the way it looks with my skinny jeans too. The colors were all attractive and very cheerful but for me black is always best. Thanks for making such a great vest!

I have this vest in blue. It's a beautiful colour and the vest itself is incredibly warm. I have mostly been wearing it while out and about in the city on cool days, but I think I will get a lot of wear out of it as a mid-layer when out in the backcountry because it is so light. Another great Arc-teryx product!!

I was really keen to get this and started with a M being a size 10/12. The quality and feel are outstanding but unfortunately neither the M or S fit right. Both were too large around the hip area and despite being able to tighten this area they did not fit at all. It is made for pear shaped women. When on the warmth is incredible. Please review the shape in this piece as I wish it would fit.

I bought this a month ago for hiking in the Rockies. The warmth did not disappoint. Also, great for running errands and dog walks! I find the fit a bit large especially in the lower half so size accordingly.

I loved this vest for the first month. I just washed it for the first time as instructed on the care label. When dried, I noticed the down had clumped into balls in each little square pocket. This covers about 75% of the vest. The material is pretty thin and I got the champagne color, so you can see the down balls. I sent a note to Arcteryx. Waiting on a response to see if there is anything I can do about the vest. .

The vest looked great, until I tried it on. It has an unusual cut. It has a pretty dramatic hourglass shape, and I found that the bottom hem was too big around, although the rest of the vest fit fine. I appreciate the weight savings by having no drawcord, but this vest just wouldn't work for me without one. The second issue was that the front panels are cut on a curve. If you unzip the vest, it is very apparent. The zippers do not lie in a straight line. They curve. What this did for me was cause the front of the vest to pooch out. I guess that wouldn't be so bad, but since I'm small chested, it mainly pooched out towards the bottom, which made me look pregnant. I have another vest made by a different company that has front panels that are not curved, and it does not have this issue. I hope Arcteryx redesigns this vest in the future, because I'd actually like to have one.

Arc teryx quality has fallen off a cliff. No longer worth the higher price.
