Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom Hoody

This atom hoody is the worst jacket I've ever owned ! Reason? I ride bikes often and was riding with coat on and got caught in a mild sprinkle of rain. This stained the coat, which took several days to disappear . Material is as sensitive as tissue paper . It's horribly designed and not for any precipitation!

I got the smoke-bluff Atom hoodie and I love the colour, the fit and the comfort that it provides. Warm enough to wear as a top-layer for daily activities and it has been the perfect mid-layer for mountain excursions!

I find the Atom Hoody just the right weight for shoulder-season activities or as an extra layer if colder. And the colour - absolutely beautiful!

This is the most versatile mid layer I own. I love how it keeps me warm when needed but vents effectively.

I've owned 3 Atom Hoody's and once I found it I never went back to other mid layers. Fits perfectly with a helmet on, roomy enough for multiple base layers, and trim enough for multiple layers on top

Truly an excellent Purchase. This Atom Hoody is simply the best mid-layer all round jacket one can buy. To start off, the quality is great, zipper never fails, it's water proof to an extent and keeps me warm in regular conditions. The hood is the perfect size (usually a miss with outdoor jackets), the interior is super comfortable and warm with no extra layer needed in the inside for extra comfort, and the overall fit is perfect if your wearing it underneath, over top, or as a single layer. For a 5'9 athletic build, this jacket fits me perfectly, with the perfect amount of space to move, not too tight or loose, which gives it a very stylish and athletic look on the outside. Temperatures: Now, here it gets iffy. The jacket is meant to be worn underneath an outer layer, or over-top of a hoodie, and for that it is literally perfect. Super comfortable and snug like you're getting a hug, warm, stylish and nonrestrictive, and can be worn in negative temperatures if used as a mid-layer. However, the jacket is also amazing when used on its own, as your only layer, that is under ideal temperatures. If your going on a walk, doing activities, or just talking to some buds at 10 degrees C and don't want to bundle up, this is perfect; keeps you warm, dry, doesn't make you sweat, and is very breathable and agile. However, if you are expecting this jacket to keep you warm in freezing temperatures, or in the snow, or in very windy circumstances where its 1 or 2 degrees, It simply will not. It will definitely help, and keep you somewhat warm, but not for long as it's not too thick. If used properly, it is a perfect jacket. Overall: The jacket Is perfect. I used it when I'm going on walks, scooter rides, going to eat, as an extra layer, going to school, work, while driving if its cold, at night when going out, and as a base/mid-layer when skiing, in the snow, or during the cold months of winter in freezing temperatures. Furthermore, this jacket paired with the arcteryx insulated or an arcteryx alpha or beta shell is the perfect combo to keep you agile, warm, and dry. With this very flexible and reasonable price tag, the jacket fully satisfies all my needs, and is a number one pick when going out on a regular cloudy day. Fully recommend it, and I have never been happier with this purchase.

This is my core jacket from 35 to 55 degrees, wearing the Covert fleece when it's warmer, the Cerium when it's colder or really windy, and the Thorium when it's frigid. Looks great; nothing like it.

Highly recommended. Light and warm. One of the best winter jackets.

Great jacket for moderate to chilly temperatures. I bought this to be used as a stand alone as well as a mid layer for the colder outings. I've had the jacket about a month now and love it. The fitted fit is much nicer than some of the other boxier cuts and it's breathable. I've used it while hiking/walking as my outer shell in 19 degree weather with a thicker base layer and was fine. Jacket is lightweight, moves well with the body and is packable. I love the stretch cuffs making it easier to put on and take off over gloves. The hood also stays in place really well and doesn't hinder your vision or use of a headlamp. Haven't had it out in the rain yet to test the water durability. I'm sure when used as a mid layer this jacket will shine and keep you warm in the coldest temps. Great versatility allows you to go from the trail to a pub with ease. Overall, this is my go to jacket.

I bought this jacket a couple of weeks back and the first time I wore it out I noticed thread from inside the jacket was coming out. Considering the price of the jacket I assumed they'd rectify the issue but no. Arc'teryx are too caught up in the hype of being a fashion brand and have forgotten their ethos. People pay top dollar for top quality, and maintaining that standard should be top of their agenda.

Great lightweight jacket that is surprisingly warm for its weight. Great color and design too.

I basically live in my Atom Hoody. As a full time climbing coach and guide, it is perfect for nearly every season. It's my go to extra layer for rock climbing and always on while ice climbing. Can't recommend this jacket enough. I would give it 6 stars if there were a chest pocket.

This jacket is supremely versatile. I wear it all the time - it's often the first layer I grab if it's a bit cooler. Great patterning and fit for me. I am 5'8" and 160lb and wear a medium

The Atom is my go to everything layer. It is an approach jacket for cold mornings, that goes under a shell for the climb or the ski down. It's a summer weight puffy jacket. It's a fleece replacement that weights less. I love the elastic cuffs, they work under gauntlets and smaller gloves can be tucked in. The fabrics are soft and comfy, but durable for their weight. Lastly it breaths quite well, but still cuts a bit of wind. I almost always bring it with me. Note. I wear medium in all other products, but I went large in the atom for more room.

I'm on my 3rd copy of this jacket -- all of them have been formidable opponents to kayak guiding, ski guiding, and everyday abuses of a middle-aged male. Ultimately only succumbing to fire and/or grease (and then I just use them as a labouring jacket in off-seasons). Really easy to care for and perfect for the humid conditions on the BC Coast. 2 Thumbs Up.

I've owned 2 of these jackets over the years, one is now a dirty job jacket (still in great shape just with a few burn holes from bonfires), and the newer one I wear everyday while working as a ski guide, or through out the year whenever the temp drops. The fit and versatility of this jacket are exceptional. It comes with me on ever adventure and I consider it an essential piece of my kit. Worn as a mid layer or stand alone jacket, it handles being dressed up to go out for a night on the town, and traversing a knife ridge to access the goods! Built to last and with the attention to detail / design that Arc'teryx is known for. No matter your activities of choice, this jacket will become your go to.

I don't have anything to add, these are great jackets. I just wish you would make these and/or the atom jacket in the Tatsu color. That's a great color and I think it should be a standard color.

Love the fit and feel of the jacket. I'm 6'5" and 200lbs, and it fits amazing. Not too tight, it moves with me, and doesn't get all baggy or bunched up under other layers. Material is very comfortable, the jacket is pleasantly warm.

warm smart GTX

The most versatile piece I own. Perfect for cool and cold weather. Super stylish.

Great product, have bought 2 already and would buy more if I could!

Warm, soft and comfortable, really compact and easy to carry.

Arc'teryx most versatile piece, can be worn as a mid layer or an outer layer perfect fit for either and shockingly warm for its weight.

A classic arc layer with a classic fit and style. Love this, fits well, durable and reliable. No quibbles here, worth every penny.

Lightly insulated weather resistant hoody type jacket. Good enuf for 0 degree days I would say. Maybe even less. Slightly fitted. Looks good enough to own two. I'm 5'8, 175lbs, 43" chest and medium fits perfect.
