Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom Vest

I recently purchased this product and immediately returned it due to its terrible fit. The top of the shoulders stuck up like bat ears and looked terrible. Not a conforming fit at all. Very disappointing!

Im 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.

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

I bought this vest for work initially (I'm an ER nurse). I liked how lightweight it was, while still keeping me warm. The updated version also has an inside pocket now, which is where I like to keep my pen, phone, and other small medical gear. The best thing about this vest though is that I can use it for work and leisure - plan to do some travelling in the future, and its perfect for layering. The only downside is the fit. It feels like it was made for a taller slender person. I am neither, but am glad that I can cinch the bottom. It works!

I'm a thorough Arc'teryx fanboy and have many of their jackets and other gear which generally fit great and I love. This vest however is a bit odd: the fit is one size smaller than I typically wear in their other garments. Additionally the armholes are structured in such a way that they stand up and away from your body creating a weird looking gap. You can kind of see this condition in the photos on the model. I'd strongly recommend that you try this on in person before purchasing and that you can't take fit of other Arc'teryx clothing as an indication that this will work for you.

This vest used to be warm and durable; now it is thin and obsolete. Perhaps you could wear it in the spring for some light hiking but if you're looking for something to keep your core warm under a shell or jacket this is not it.

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.

I'm 5'9'' 186 pounds and the XL was big enough to be able to wear a hoodie under or other things. The material is too thin. Not worth it, ended up returned it.
