Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Delta 1/2 Zip

My favorite pull over shirt. Just the right amount of wamth, yet very well breathing. Looks great. Light and therefore goes with me everywhere

No experience with the older Deltas but I'm loving my 2024 Delta 1/2 zip as a standalone on runs below 50F. Definitely better for higher output activity like running, so depending on conditions I wouldn't expect it to keep me toasty for lower output activities or sitting around. Currently dabbling with more synthetics after a lifetime of wool - with that said no complaints about the new fabric or overall comfort.

very nice sweatshirt, I use it for walking around the city and for trips to the mountains as a second layer, although I thought it would be thicker and a bit warmer. The pocket on the chest is a bit for decoration, it is a bit too high, and the iPhone fits into it on the butt and it is uncomfortable with it inside. Overall, I like the sweatshirt - I recommend it.

Bought this from another reviewer's recommendation for trail running. The problem with this is, that it looks so sharp and feels perfect for every day usage, so I actually use it at the office and almost every day at home as well (daybreak color has almost same colored pocket, which helps). I run really warm always, so this not being so warm actually works perfect for me. If you run cold, I would maybe reconsider buying this (unless to buy it for spring/autumn as a layering, or for high output exercise).

Used it for trail running and as a base layer for skiing. Obviously the zipper gets cold on the skin, but the quarter zip helps dump heat in variable output activities. The material has held up, and shows no sign of beginning to stink despite >50 days using it. Tend to run hot, so I've used it as a base layer for -10 to 0 degrees on runs, and put another layer underneath/on top depending on conditions if it gets colder.

This jacket is the perfect blend of lightweight warmth and breathability. I like the slim yet looser fit. Exceptional running or hiking jacket that keeps you cool without causing overheating.

Great pullover. Lightweight. Will use for hiking and layers for a trip to Norway.

I'm wearing this now. I've worn it basically every day since I got it. It's great. I like it because it is so versatile. It can be used for workouts, or unpretentiously with jeans and a t shirt, or ostensibly for rock climbing because you're wearing Arc'teryx. It blends in in outdoor or urban settings. It looks good. It's comfortable. What else is there to say.

I'll wear this fleece pull-on for a number of activities. First, for every day activities, and outdoor sports, skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking and running. Since this garment was advertised as a fleece I thought it would fuzzy. That's the only reason I rated it 4 stars, but I'm happy anyway. I'll purchase your items in the future.

I have three prior generation Delta products and I absolutely LOVE them. This version is much thinner, and the interior lining was almost itchy against my arm; not at all soft and fleece-feeling like the prior generation.

Having over a dozen various Arcteryx shirt and jackets, Ive come to know the sizing quite well with this company. Or so I thought. This is my second piece that I have ordered and the size medium was quite off. The first piece was this years model Gamma Lightweight model in a medium, and Tan color. I actually went to an REI and tried another medium in a different color, and it was completely a different fit. The salesperson and I were shocked that a company known for their fit would be so off. Now onto this Delta piece. I have the previous model deltas jacket. Fit is stellar, and as stated is fitted. I wanted a more simple and lighter weight piece so opted for this pullover. Having received it, the material is cool. Harder wearing than my current delta( also medium). But here in lies the fitted fit. It is not a fitted fit. The medium fits more like a large, with super saggy arms made for Popeyes forearms. And in the shoulders the material just lays there all loose, and not slightly form fitting like it suggest. Ill try for a small, but having bin at the Seattle arcteryx store and trying the jacket version. The small was too small, and the medium was even baggier than the pullover. Not sure whats going onbut hope things get fixed.

Much thinner than expected. Solid quality and fit, just not as warm as the price or description would suggest

The delta 1/2 zip FINALLY returned after many seasons...unfortunately, they moved away from the polartec that makes this the most well rounded pullover. The new material is too thin and doesn't quite live up to prior models

The Delta 1/2 was one of my favourite fleece layers for many years, unfortunately my old one finally succumbed to years of abuse so I replaced it with the new incarnation. The similarities pretty much end with the name. The new fit is baggier than the last and the material used is far inferior to the polartec fabric of the previous. The pocket on the front makes no sense for rock climbing, the shoulder pocket was much more useful. I've searched high and low online for the old style but it seems it can't be found. Here's to hoping the previous formulation returns in future seasons.

Oh Arcteryx, I buy a German car because I know what I'm gonna get. Quality and something that leans on the years of historically making good stuff. I used to buy Arcteryx for the same reason, I'd say over the past 15 years I've collected dozens of pieces. Recently however, I have no idea what I'm getting. What happened to the Delta, I got 4 older ones. Love em. This new one is like a football shirt. Odd. Kyanite, material that bobbles after weeks. What next, the atom! Please no. You're asking strong money for this gear and you're not fulfilling your part of the bargain. I would like a new down jacket. Ordinarily I wouldn't question where to look. Now I seriously have to wonder what I'm gonna get. Come on Arcteryx, If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Lean on your history of great pieces. We love them and will keep coming back if you stop meddling. Do you love us!?

As warm as a newspaper. Very thin fabric, so delicate it looks you can make a hole in it with your finger. The older Delta was nice and warm but this is rather a cooling jacket not something to keep you warm. But I get a feeling I would be warmer wearing nothing. The photos of the item are misleading, they create an impression the jacket is something in between RHO LT and Heavy. But its 50% lighter and thinner than RHO LT and should be priced accordingly.
