Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Delta Jacket

First a correction need to be made under the "Features" section of this page: there are no hand pockets. It mentioned two hand pockets, there are none. Just like the hooded version (delta MX) that was available last year, this is a slim-fitting fleece with room around the chest but slim around the waist. Articulated pretty well for overhead reach. The sleeves are long enough to use the thumb loop without tugging. The hem isn't too long and has a generously sized chest pocket. There are a few minor differences to the delta MX: - No drop hem, while the MX has a 2-3 cm drop hem. - Fabric is a little thinner, which is a bummer for me. - Thumb loops are hidden and horizontally vs the expose and vertically cut in the MX. If you want a hoodless version of the Delta MX because layering with too many hoods is a hassle, this is a great piece. For reference, I am 175 cm with a 106 cm chest and 83 cm waist.

I bought the Delta fleece back in 2022, and it has been my go-to layer ever since. It's held up incredibly wellno loss of shape, all the zips still work perfectly, and overall it has outlasted my Mammut fleece by a long shot. Because of that experience, getting another one felt like a no-brainer. Since I was looking for a hooded version this time, I stopped by the newly opened shop in Manchester to try one on before buying. I'm glad I did, because the new Delta fleece is noticeably different. The fabric feels thinner and more fragile, and the thumb holes have been removed, which was a real disappointment. Sometimes attempts to "update" or broaden the appeal of a productespecially by leaning it toward streetwearcan end up taking away the features that made it great in the first place. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case here.

This is a great top for trail running competitions during cooler weather. It doesn't feel like a jacket or a fleece. The fabric is very thin, light weight, and breathable, which keeps me warm without overheating.

A confortable light weight fleece which is great for everyday wear. Would like to see some alternate colour choices, but the style and fit are perfect. I also own two Kyanite fleece jackets, but by far prefer the Delta jacket.

Great jacket from work to runs to tote along as a layer.

Excellent piece that works well to take the chill off and is fantastic as a layer. It's worth knowing that the feel is more similar to a thin tracksuit jacket, but with the (also thin) fleece lining (it's not thick and fluffy like some may imagine a fleece to be - very much an active layer). I try to buy natural fabrics these days, but some synthetic layers are too good to avoid.

Fit weight and style is 100% on. I had the original Delta and this one is even better.

I picked up the Delta Jacket as a light layer for early spring runs and chilly mornings, and it's exceeded expectations. It's also been perfect for climbing at higher elevations and works great as a mid-layer in colder temps. Some reviews knock it for being too light, but that's the pointthis jacket shines when you're active and need breathable, low-bulk insulation. The fabric breathes well, the chin guard adds comfort, and the chest pocket is a nice functional touch. Plus, the Soulsonic blue color looks awesome. Well worth it if you're using it for what it's built for.

Very comfortable and fitted. It's lightweight but very warm and a great layer. Perfect for daily jacket in a mild temperature climates.

The waffle weave construction makes a great midlayer and is very warm for its light weight. I'm about 6'1" with looong arms and the medium is a great fit. The longer sleeves with the thumb holes make the length just right.

"Marry, marry, ho!" Winner Me... me.. A must have Arcteryx piece. I have been wearing for many years now. The fabric is nice and unique. Super Light weight. . I liked old style that Logo on the side(a sense of lowkey :P) I wish it comes with Half Zip style in the future. and mostly Please Arcteryx Want to Win Arc'teryx Gear?

Thin and light sweater. Comfortable to wear .

Excellent piece of gear to keep on me during all seasons when temps dip down. I'm 6'2 210 and wear an XL Fits me slightly loose which I like, and the lightweight material makes it feel like I'm barely wearing anything

I haven't taken this off since I got it. Great mid layer, super comfortable, fits and looks great.

Amazing mid layer for skiing. Warm enough to wear over a tshirt around town too. Love the fabric and texture too.

I climb in this layer more than any other. Keeps me cool while climbing and retains heat at the belays. My number one pick for start-stop activities

Got this as a midlayer, but have also been using over a shirt while climbing in 0-5 C. It's light and packs small enough that it lives in my bag even if I don't plan on using it. After a year of use only sign of wear is a tear from whipping into a tree.

Recently bought the 2022 model on the Outlet store, been wearing it almost daily since a couple of weeks and so far really happy with it. Great quality/value! Size fits perfectly, not too loose and not to trim. This works great as a mid-layer or stand-alone. I like that it is warm enough but yet very lightweight and packable. Ideal for technical activity, simply at home or even during a flight while travelling. The new outer layer is a nice touch in my opinion, just looks a bit fragile and I just hope it will be durable on the long term (I usually keep my Arcteryx stuff for at least a decade): something to possibly take into consideration if you have a dog that likes jumping at you for example. I don't mind not having the hand pockets anymore, not really an issue for me, and the thumb holes are quite useful when layering or simply adding a bit of warmth to your hands. Can't go wrong with the Delta!

Super comfortable, excellent fit, no pockets! Pretty much perfect! If there were more colors I would buy them.

This jacket is lightweight, easily packable, and aesthetically pleasing for those who favor minimalist designs. Its standout feature, however, is its exceptional thermal control. I predominantly wore it during my 2-week trip to Iceland, and it exceeded expectations in temperatures ranging from 4C to 17C. Paired with just a medium-weight merino wool long sleeve as a base layer, I only needed to add a shell jacket in particularly strong wind and/or rain. Conversely, as the temperature climbed, the Delta showcased its impressive breathability and moist-wicking abilities. I only found the need to remove it when in direct sunlight or during the more strenuous parts of the hike. Despite its light fabric, the Delta proved surprisingly durable, ending the trip with just one small hole in the sleeve (entirely my fault). The fit is impeccable. However, it's worth noting that I have a very slender frame. Standing at 176 cm, I typically opt for XS or S sized garments. In the case of the Delta, XS was a perfect fit. One minor drawback: the chest pocket. For me, its placement and size are impractical, even for small items. It's certainly not suitable for larger objects like a cell phone.

I bought one a few years back and love it so much, I got a second one in a different color ;-) I wear it year round to keep warm or just to be confortable.

The versatility with this jacket is awesome. I use it as a stand-alone jacket in the fall and a mid layer in the winter under my shell ski jacket. It's lightweight fabric and packability are an added bonus.

Bought this around a month ago and have barely been able to take it off. Very comfortable, nice fit and great either as a base layer or mid layer

Bought this 2 weeks ago and it has quickly become my goto flecce. The fit is perfect, not to tight or losse, just right. The lightweight material and attention to detail and quality of stitching is exactly what i expect of an arcteryx product.

Purchased this a few years back and I've found it to be great as a relatively warm midlayer while trekking in northern latitudes for fieldwork. Doesn't add much bulk to either a pack or a layering system, and very comfortable.
