Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cerium Vest

After shopping around for a new vest, landed on this one in black. Lightweight but still packs in a lot of warmth. The interior pocket stuff sack is roomy and doesn't put any stress on the zipper when packing it up. Only minor dislike is that it feels like the fill below the arms on the chest are a little light compared to the rest of the vest. Still recommend as a great midlayer or as a stand alone on sunny days.

5 star for the quality, satisfied with the white down material.

I owned this exact vest a few years back. Unfortunately it was stolen. This newer vest doesn't quite seem to be as full of down as my previous. Not sure if they changed it? Works great as a base layer.

A big fan of the Arc'teryx brand, this down jacket is light, warm and compact

l bougth it last week , l like it. confortable and light

I've wanted one for a very long time but my size was always sold out. I finally got it and it awesome

Excellent all around piece. I wear it mountaineering, snowboarding, to the office under a long wool coat or my Beta AR, in the spring, fall, winter. It's light yet warm. Zero complaints. Love this vest!

Good looking and well built, like all Arc'teryx products are. Warm and very pleasant to wear.

My core gets cold but not my legs or arms. This Cerium vest is the keeps my core warm without sweating. When I do warm up, just unzipping the vest part or fully allows for heat regulation. I know everyone doesn't have a cold core problem but it would really thoughtful if Arc'Teryx would consider making an all in one bottom-up and top-down front zippers so one could zip open from the bottom to mid-ribs allowing the core and chest to be warm where you really need it during quickly changes inclement conditions.

Super happy with my purchase. Better than expected.

Purchased the Cerium vest on BF sale. The materials, build, features and overall fit is good and the vest is very warm. The only negative is the fit of the shoulders, they look exaggerated i.e. they stick out. I purchased black color in M but also tried an S in store and the fit on the shoulders is very similar, the exception is the S was too tight around the waist so I stuck with M. It seems like you need really broad shoulders or big arms for the shoulders to fit properly but then this should not be labelled as a trim fit piece. All my other Arc gear is M trim and they all fit really well. Having said that, all the pros still make this is a worthy item to keep.

The vest is warm and covers my neck well keeping cold air out. The pockets are of a good size and warm. My biggest complaint is the zipper. The zipper appears sized for a child and surely not an adult male. It's way too small and appears flimsy and cheap. This is inexcusable for such an expensive clothing brand. Otherwise, a very good product at best

Love the color, and warmth it provides. It's my 3rd Arc'teryx vest. Not crazy about the logo on the back.

This vest is warm, super light, very packable, and does everything I want it to. However, I feel like Arc'teryx has changed their sizing recently and I ordered a large which I found to be a bit too big in the stomach area. Consider sizing down if you are on the edges of the sizing chart.

Very happy with the vests,Color, quality,functionality.

This is may go-to grab and go vests if I every question whether my core will be cold under changing windy conditions. A little boxy but acceptable.

This Arc'teryx Vest beats all competition. The design, functionality and comfort plus highly packable. It's my goto vest for my technical and everyday clothing. The only thing that prevents me from getting five stars is the small zippers. Hopefully the designers will improve the design for future versions of these vest.

Great vest except for a bit of looseness at the back of the shoulders. Could just be because of my small frame. I'm 5'11" and went for the M, definitely the right choice.

Great warmth but a disappointing low quality zipper. For this expense would expect a much higher quality zipper

Bought thos was not impressed to be honest thought it was a little poorly made not for me considering they are supposed to be premium

I purchased this vest in size small as that was the size I purchased with my cerium jacket. I am shocked at how slim the vest fits and how it is not possible to layer under in comparison to the jacket which laying is possible with a size small. Very disappointed how the exact same naming of vest and jacket fit differently. Makes it tough to determine which size should be purchased. Purchase a size up if you want to wear anything at all underneath the vest other than a tight fitting shirt.
