Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Delta Jacket

I have been buying Arcteryx products for over 10 years and have well over 10 jackets/fleece etc. More specifically, i have two Delta jackets from the previous generation which i love. This one other than the name has nothing in common with the previous generation, it is a different style, fabric is very thin and does not feel like a fleece. I expected much more for the price! I wish that when Arcteryx introduces a completely new product that they would not use an existing name, which can be very misleading.

Please name these garments something else and bring back the original Delta Polartec fabric and sizing. Like others, I own several that need replacing and find the newer versions disappointing and overpriced.

I have an Arcteryx fleece from 10 years ago that I wear as a mid layer and outer layer for many occasions and absolutely love it. This fleece is not a mid-weight IMO, it is a very light weight. If you hold it up to a window you can see through it. Also, it's tough to pay this much for recycled water bottles.

Expensive for something that isn't very warm. Good look and feel but overall disappointed. Also color wasn't exactly what I wanted and they just told me to return it which is such a hassle. Wish customer service was a little better.

It is really too bad that Arcteryx designers decided to move away from the warm polartec fabric that they used in the Delta for so many years. It was such a great, versatile product. I have several of the old Delta's in many different colours that I wear constantly, over a tee shirt in the house, when going out for urban activities, and it is a staple when I go hiking. If the temperature drops, I just put an Atom hoody over the old Delta and tee shirt and it is perfect. The new jacket looks nice but it feels too thin and cold on my skin and any body warmth gets removed quickly because it is so permeable to air. There are already lots of thin Arcteryx products for running and other outdoor activities so they needn't have changed this one. Please bring back the old Delta, maybe as a "retro" product. A lot of people would buy it.

Ok, but significant downgrade from old one. *No hand pockets *Big patch on front makes it less versatile *New fabric is less durable vs. old one. Sometimes arcteryx product revisions are good. In this case, No-Go. Sad.

I love this fleece, and would buy another one -- except it has no pockets. Unless you're a climber, it makes no sense

Received this in the post today and I am not satisfied. Had the jacket got pockets like the womens version I probably would have kept it. I'll be honest the previous LT was the bomb, arc please listen to your customers and bring it back.

This is not like the old deltas!! Completely different so i had to return, was so light and not what i was expecting. Disappointed in the company for using the same name on a totally different product

I recently purchased the Delta jacket and was extremely disappointed with its durability. As a long-time Arc'teryx customer, I have spent over $4,000 on their jackets over the years, always trusting the brand for its quality and resilience. However, during a recent hike, my Delta jacket snagged on a wooden branch, causing the fabric to tear (only previously worn in the city 5-10 times, and owned for one month). Not surprisingly, my warranty claim was denied. It seems that Arc'teryx, once known for its rugged outdoor durability, is now catering more to the comfort of corporate offices. ArtTeryx is simply not the brand it once was several years ago.

Previous gen model especialy with included balaclava and thumb loop was much more technical' and useful than current line of products wich provides less for higher price. Also material was much better back then. I dont recommend this jackets until manufacturer will bring back previous features.

Why is Arcteryx persisting with the huge front pocket right on the chest? It makes it not useful for even informal settings. I have two of the previous versions that are excellent and can be used as sweaters.
