Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cerium LT Hoodie

I purchased the Cerium LT as a mid-layer mainly for some resort skiing, hiking, and general use. I almost always wear it under a shell, so for my purposes I am not worried about it snagging or tearing with use. I can see that a lot of people are complaining about the fabric being too fragile. While I do agree (and put durability as a "con"), I would say that is not the intent of this jacket. If you are looking for a more durable down jacket, the Thorium is what you need. The Cerium excels at being lightweight and packable. I have taken this on several walks around town under my Rush jacket in 5-10 degree F and wound up being sweaty. This is a very warm mid-layer. I love the fit of the hood, forms a nice seal around my head and allows for good visibility. I would say the jacket could be a touch shorter on the front. I am 6 foot and 175lbs and a medium tends to ride up a bit being below the pivot point of my waist (this is a minor grievance and not worth taking off a star). I would not recommend it as a stand-alone jacket due to it's thin fabric and having little wind resistance. I am very happy with my purchase

This is my favourite year round go to jacket. Living on the north end of Vancouver Island where our weather is heavily influenced by the cool ocean air we can have cool temperatures even during the summer. My Cerium LT Hoody never gets put away. It keeps me warm all winter and on cool, foggy summer mornings while sitting outside with coffee watching the day start. I really appreciate all the warmth it packs into such a light weight, packable jacket. Its so versatile and easy to slide on under a hard shell or stuff into its tiny stuff sack to be tucked into a pack or bag when not worn. I really appreciated having such great colour choice. Unfortunately, I find the fit a bit small and fall right between sizes, but have sized up to allow for layering underneath. I am 5'4", 130 lbs and have broad shoulders/back and find the medium too snug for more than one layer.

I am very happy with my purchase. This coat is so comfortable, light and warm enough for mild winter. It's the perfect coat to travel in the car during winter.

I love it. I love it., I love it, I love it. I love it. Is that enough characters? (A bit pushy, guys. Accept the compliment and move on.) Remarkable, exceptionally rare 21st C kindness (those Canadians!) generous trusti in their customer, full support from customer service.

This hoody is is better than most coats I own! It is great for casual wear, hiking, and a variety of activities. This is the best option in this product category.

I have an older style of this from a year ago and this past winter it has been an absolute game changer. It is so good at insulating overall, I was perfectly warm in cold weather but not too hot once the temperature picked up. Also so convenient that is packs into a tight bag that comes with the jacket. Super comfortable and great overall.

I have had my Cerium for 2 years now, and it is one of my staple jackets. It packs down small and is very lightweight and surprisingly durable. I'm rough with my gear and have had no tears yet. My partner's cat managed to pee on it, and after several intensive washes later it's back to 100% again. Built to last!

I would like to know if this is the final price or do I have to add taxes to it. THANKS!

I wore this jacket almost every day this winter, it's super cozy and perfect for a Canadian winter! Great for snowshoeing through the woods, watching wildlife or heading into town for some errands. Wearing this jacket during field work under the Beta AR kept me warm down to -25C. It can be too warm while doing high output winter activities, however it's super light which makes it a great addition to my pack as an insulating layer after activities. My favorite thing about this jacket is the hood! Nice and warm as well as a good fit that doesn't blow off in windy weather.

I got this jacket for daily backcountry snowshoeing and found that it was a perfect fit for my activities. The jacket has amazing insulation and works quite well under a more robust hard shell when hiking through the dense forest. The jacket has a great balance of breathability when snowshoeing and XC-skiing while also keeping me warm. The fit of the jacket is also quite nice and allows for a lot of mobility.

I've been using this jacket as a mid-layer with the Beta AR hardshell on top for winter fieldwork. My core has stayed toasty while standing in the cold in -25C and I could not be happier. Super lightweight (great for layerings), warm, functional pockets, and a great classic puff look overall.

I've had this jacket for a few years now and absolutely, it is my go-to jacket during the Maine weather lows. I have been satisfied with the durability and wear, I do agree, it runs small (I'm in between a small and a medium, sized up). Thank you for such great products, truly enjoy staying warm on colder days with this jacket!

Great Jacket, material is different than my first one but look stronger! Leaking down, c'mon stop crying there is few left and right not big deal at all !! Lately Arc'teryx product's are hit or miss! This one definitely Hit!! :-))

Just received today (shout out to Arcteryx speedy shipping!). On first impression I agree with others in that the zippers do seem to be a bit delicate and that I definitely wouldn't want to be bushwhacking with the arato 10 nylon shell. First wear was in -25c, -35c with the wind chill, wore it with a light long sleeve and a polyester sweater underneath. Was comfortable while walking, and got toasty once I got to a light jog. Wouldn't want to wear this in high winds with no shell, but this thing sure is warm. Cobalt Moon colour is super great and a nice neutral option. I'm 6'2, 190lbs athletic build, L fits quite well, feels a little tight width wise in the shoulders but it's certainly not a big issue. Excellent work!

I have had this jacket for 5+ years now and it is a solid performer. Very light, packable, and warm. I have never had an environment where I have been active and left cold while wearing this jacket. Basically, if your body temp is up this thing will keep you warm, as designed. There have been some conditions where it was really cold (~ 0 degrees), windy, and I was minimally moving where the jacket was not sufficient as an outer layer. Something to note is light, and the tradeoff is that the fabric is not the most durable. If you are looking for something more durable you need to look elsewhere in Arc'Teryx's range because this is not designed for that purpose in mind. Being said I only have one minor cut after 5 years. Fit is definitely on the slimmer side and I would recommended trying on before purchasing. Even though it is not the cheapest out there I think it is well worth the money.

I have had this jacket for several months now, and it has been my go-to! I love how lightweight and warm it is, and it layers perfectly under my Beta SV jacket in wet conditions. Also, I'm very hard on gear, so I'm also very impressed with how durable the material is.

I bought this jacket for my PCT thru-hike after comparing a lot of different down jacket specs. I loved this and would choose this jacket over and over again. I ended up carrying this jacket the entire time because I was very nervous about being cold and it was my go to in camp. I hardly wore the jacket while hiking just because it was so warm. I had a lighter color which showed a lot of dirt (after 5 months it look pretty filthy) but I washed it with down special soap once I finished and it came out looking new! I'm 5'7" and about 140 lbs and medium was the perfect size.

My favorite piece! I do always take my Cerium LT when I'm going out in the mountains! Things n1 to put in my backpack! Super warm too...

This jacket lives in my pack for long distance runs. I live in the mountains, so it is possible a storm can roll in at anytime. It is also nice to know if for some reason I have to be out longer than anticipated I have a warm jacket when I need it. It is light and packable. I just recently ran the Grand Canyon and the temperature swing was 60 degree fahrenheit. At the beginning I needed the warmth for only a short period of time before heating up, so it was nice that I could stow it easily. Then I was happy to have it on the other side as the temps dropped again.

I bought this puffer last winter because the Thorium was out of stock for months and there was no sign of it coming back anytime soon. I was in the market for a new everyday puffer and was hesitant based on this style being designed more for layering and the Thorium being more durable for the elements. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I provides the perfect amount of warmth and pairs well with my shell when it's wet or there are higher winds. I will say that the outer layer feels quite thin and like it could easily snag, but it packs up very small and is great for travel and hikes. I am typically between a small and medium at Arc'teryx and medium fit perfect. (Size small in my beta lt)

I bought this last year and loved this jacket since. I live in Berlin and it can be very snowy on some days. I ride my bike all year round and this jacket was my go-to. I opted out for an oversized fit so you could wear a few layers under it and its fantastic

Had this jacket for over a year and loved it. The jacket is super light weight and will provide the warmth of a heavy duty coat from Canada goose. However, if you plan to do sports with this jacket, it might be too hot for most Vancouver weather.

Bought this jacket in preparation for my Antarctica trip and brought it to Peru as an after thought and I am glad I did! This was definitely my most-used item in my pack and the item I was most complimented on. While hiking the Inca Trail it was perfect for the cool morning/evenings and folded up into a small pillow during the night! It was the perfect addition to my day pack for the chilly summits above the clouds. While not on the Inca Trail it was perfect for touring around Peru and o was glad I had it for every Instagram shot.

The Cerium is so versatile and practical. It fits true to size, packs up small and is the perfect blend of weight versus warmth. It pairs really well with my Beta AR and Gamma MX. I have a slightly long body but the Cerium is the perfect length. I like it so much that I own two of them!
