Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Kyanite Lightweight Jacket

Great jacket but the sizing and fit is a bit off in my opinion. I am 6' and 200lbs and have a 42' chest and tried the M and L. I wear 16 1/2 34/35" in fitted shirts for perspective so the M sleeve length and fit was best but the body was too tight. The L sleeves were a bit too long and loose but the body fit better so I kept the L. Overall, fairly good jacket for the money but would like it more if the fit of the sleeves matched the body a bit more.

I bought this for my husband, who loves his Kyanite Hoody so much, he doesnt want to take it off. But, sometimes a hoody is just not dressed up enough, and that is where the Kyanite LT Jacket is clutch. It allows him to have the comfort and coziness of the Kyanite, but no hood and the right weight to keep on indoors.

I love my new Kyanite LW fleece. Its provides the perfect amount of warmth for the cool nights here in Florida.

I bought this recently - light weight and warm too. All in all very please ms with my purchase.

Perfect fit, more slim than the others vests and very light ! with a t-shirt under you will get Just enough of flexibility and warmness during early fall activity

I had a similar Patagonia jacket but this one is so much lighter! I do wish it had thumbs holes for layering. Extremely soft material, great for running in the spring.

Nice jacket that can be used for many things. But be careful with the colours as they are not always true to the photographs. I bought a forage thinking it was beige; it was in fact more like a green.

I'm a huge fan of the Kyanite Lightweight Jacket and Hoody, so much so that I have 5 of them. Unfortunately (for me, anyway), Arc'Teryx changed the fit of this product by slimming it down in the torso by about 2". What used to fit me perfectly is now snug. My older Kyanite Lightweights are a few years old so I'm not sure when they changed the dimensions. If you're like me and have older versions, just be sure to try the new one on before you pull the tags off and wash it like I did. (I'd return it but I guess I'm stuck.)

I've been loyal to ArcTeryx for many years because their sizes were designed for trim, athletic bodies and have always fit me well. This jacket is an exception. The revised large size is the old XL. This increase in size, without changing the label, has been the trend across other brands, but I didn't expect ArcTeryx to go that route. In their explanation of this " revised fit", the larger sizes are now looser. Medium remains unchanged. That means the old large is non-existent. No option for me but to return my large and go without what looks and feels like a nice jacket. I am more than just a bit disappointed.

This has the potential to be a great fleece but has a design oversight that lowers the bar. In my opinion they should have extended the mesh pocket lining up the entire front. As a result there is an outline of the seam that visibly cuts across the torso along with a minor bump near the zipper. Also the extra layer of mesh in the chest area would support masking biological symptoms being a bit chilly. My comments are more nuance and probably aren't a big deal for most but attention to detail is what differentiates great products from good products.

really nice light fleece. Why 3 stars - sleeves are disproportionately loose compared to the rest of the fleece.

The material is rough and uncomfortable against the skin, a stark contrast to the softer, more comfortable fabric used in previous models.

I got robbed, very thin Jacket. Misrepresented totally

Was expecting premium quality for premium price, but nope. Very thin jacket, feels like im wearing a light sweater not a light jacket. Arms too long, not made for short guys. No interior pockets for wallet or anything. Was planning to get it embroidered but doesn't look like the material will hold up.

New sizing is the worst. I liked it so much I bought a new color, but I bought it in the same size as before (size S) and it is a little smaller than before, which is very disappointing. The length of the base layer I wear inside sticks out. I can only assume that the new sizing is meant to steer most users towards the medium size. As a long time Arc'teryx user, it is a shame because the 3D cutting is the brand's signature. I hope they will go back to the original sizing. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
