Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom Vest

I saw a friend with this vest and I thought it would be a good fit and mid-layer for work, driving or hiking. I do not like sweaters because they are difficult to wash. I can wash this vest, throw it in the dryer and I am done. I use this as my mid-layer. I got this vest especially becaue it had no sleeves and it provides me with so much movement while driving in winter. I can wear only this vest as an outer layer for the Spring and Fall.

I never thought myself as a vest guy but bought this item on a recommendation. Well I think I wore it 7 straight days before taking it off. Love the extra layer while keeping my arms free. Its a great extra base layer... I seem to wear it around the house and every time I go out. Great versatile piece!

Very co.fortable, warm with our being too hot, I wear it all the time.

The current version of the Atom Vest is perfect. Just the right amount of insulation and a good fit. Use it over a shirt or t-shirts on chilly mornings when hiking, or as a casual vest at work. Would love to see others colors, a dark green like tatsu or anecdote would be nice. Please make a similar vest with the same fit in the Proton line.

Surprisingly warm and versatile, wear all the time unless it's really cold. pockets useful and keeps the wind out. Style and fit requires it to be tight fit, so if your in between sizes go smaller.

Finally sizing issues have been fixed on the latest version. Ordered the medium a few months ago and it was extremely slim and oddly proportioned

I purchased the Atom Vest as an alternative to my Cirium vest which is currently away having a new zipper fitted, having used the Atom daily, I now wonder why I didn't buy one sooner, the level of insulation is spot on for this time of year and the fit for me is excellent. The Saphire Black is a fabulous colour, but I now need to buy another to give me an option lol.

Needed a vest for running and travel. Quality of the vest is good and cutting conforms to the body very well

178cm, 98chest, 72kg. Medium vest Fit is great, feels directly comfortable, warm, cosy and also sturdy-wearable for outdoor/hiking/cycling and trail running.. Hope washing goes well if necessary .. Maybe better than the atom lt hoody! That looks bigger and wider in size M.

Had tried the best on in store, so I got the size right. I bought it for a thin layer of warmth and with the weather being below zero the last week, I am very happy.

I'm so glad I finally bought this vest after seeing it on line and trying it on in shop. Perfect for every day use as winter is here. Warm addition to my wardrobe that fits perfectly and looks sharp with whatever I wear. Formal sports wear. Durable and comfortable and the right colour in my size.

Bought this for running and it satisfies all of my needs. Keeps me warm but not overly hot!

I'm happy with my vest, it fits great also. Definitely I will buy more

I've been wearing this vest almost daily since I bought it. It fits perfectly, looks sharp and keeps me warm. It's slim fitting and not puffy, so it looks sharp in casual/dress office attire or in everyday clothes.

Essential insulation layer for every adventure. Fits perfectly. Like putting on a hug at the end of a skin up.

I have the hoodie and love it, I think I will be wearing this even more than the hoodie a fantastic piece of kit.

Warm and lightweight. Great for layering on short walks on trails or in urban environments

My go-to piece when I need to keep warm while on the move or, supplement my puffy jacket. Works great atop a mid-layer on chilly mornings. Light, packable, warm!

well made, as expected, but more like a shirt than a warming layer.

This vest is very comfortable for every day wear. Feels great on, looks great.

I bought this vest a couple weeks back for work and I absolutely love it. Fits perfectly and is fantastic overtop of my dress shirts.

It has a great fit and is even better aesthetically. It is a good compliment to any outfit, both casual and dressy. Although very thin, it is very warm.

Great as mid or outer layer in the Mediterranean, all seasons. I bought this product in 2020 and now again in 2024. For myself and my crew. In 2020 the sizes were perfect M for me and S for my crew. This year I bought the same and both feel like a sack of potatoes hanging off us. I now use his S and I have had to buy an XS for him. The smaller sizes fit us much better. But I am never an S in any clothes and I did not expect this at all.

I purchased the Atom Vest as an alternative to my Cirium vest which is currently away having a new zipper fitted, having used the Atom daily, I now wonder why I didnt buy one sooner, the level of insulation is spot on for this time of year and the fit for me is excellent. The Saphire Black is a fabulous colour, but I now need to buy another to give me an option lol.

I'm not sure if it's quality control or on purpose but I'm swimming in this vest compared to the SL version. Both in XXL. The shoulders are too wide, stick out past shoulders and gives a boxy look. Bizarre that the same fit and size are dramatically different between the two weights. Too bad must return. When they fit, these are the best vests I have worn.
