Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody

Bought this for Running and Cycling, perfect for that. I am usually a size smal/medium, but sized up in this as Arcteryx products sometimes run kinda small in the shoulder area and the women's versions tend to run short. The color is more of a very icy/pastel glacier blue than white. Really love it though and perfect to layer over a delta fleece for running in the colder months. Keep that in mind when ordering.

Been looking several months for a jacket like this. I'm a walker and a hiker so sometimes I need something very light weight but bright. I ordered the yellow. It has a hood and the overall fit is great. Unfortunately I received 2 so I sent 1 back.

I bring this with me on every spring bike ride. It packs so small and doesn't take up much room in my hip pack. Amazing for those unexpected light spring showers or just an added layer for the downhill. I have it in 2 colours.

This lightweight, packable wind jacket is perfect for multipitch climbs when I want wind or sun protection but don't want a very warm layer. It is breathable and just enough to cut the wind or protect from sun exposure without being too heavy or insulated. It packs into a check pocket and can be easily clipped to a harness. The chest pocket also works well to carry a phone or bar up the wall with you.

Now have two of these wonder hoodies. It is cool and windy where I live and the hoody keeps me comfortable with the second layer under it. Can fit my phone in the front pocket. And love that the neck zips up high and protects my neck from the wind. I bought the medium and am 5'4" and 130 #. Fits well and have room for second layer. And they have added a raspberry color which is great!

I tend to run warm during high-output activities, and this packable layer has been a lifesaver in keeping the wind and elements at bay. I primarily use it for cycling and trail running. There have been instances where I encountered light rain or windy conditions, and this layer surprisingly kept me warm. It's light, highly packable, but don't underestimate its warmth!

Purchased for trail running but reaching for it most of my outdoor activities. It is the perfect fit and the breast pocket is large enough to carry essentials if I don't take my running backpack.

Love this piece so much. It's incredibly breathable, yet somehow manages to keep me protected from high winds when I am out trail running or even splitboarding. It packs down so well I don't even notice it in my vest. A must have piece for all outdoor sports year round!

The squamish hoody is a super versatile and critical piece of gear for me. I wear it every day skiing for uphill travel and for lots of alpine climbing. It is a rare combination of durable and lightweight.

I bought this to replace an older well worn jacket of the same brand, model and size. Despite ordering the same size, I was surprised that it fits a bit more roomy than my old one. This is fine for me, but it makes me a bit nervous about sizing disparity year to year. I really like the pocket in the upper left chest as it is large enough for my plus size phone.

The perfect jacket for everything from ski touring to running to mountain biking to bikepacking to scrambling. I wear this more than any other jacket.

I just got this after loosing my Cita Hoody (older model, no longer sold). It is perfect, I love it. I use it for longer runs of up to 30 km in various temperatures, also around 0 degrees celcius with thin wool/technical shirt underneath. Love it. It is very light and protects well against wind. It even is slightly water repellent so OK in very light rain for a while. XS fits me perfectly - I am 165 cm.

I love this coat. I wear it as a windbreaker for running, for mountain biking and for gravel biking. The fabric is very durable! I also even wear it with a warmer shirt during high-intensity winter activities. It blocks the wind, and it's super breathable; it's perfect!

I bought this a couple months ago as a light layer for trail running. Perfect for cool summer mornings in the alpine and fall weather trail runs as a light layer perfect for a bit of crispness in the air. Fits perfectly.

Lightweight, love that you can stuff in into the pocket, and cuts wind so well.

My original squamish hoody got destroyed by the dog - so this is the replacement. A couple of side zip pockets would make it perfect.

I just bought it for my Marathon race, it was raining but the jacket keep me dry and warm. Like it very much, going to collect the color for this windshell jacket.

This wind shell jacket is my must-pack item for all my trip, from hiking, mountain climbing, to just sight seeing in the city. It blocks the winds and sheds away the light rain as well.it is so light and packed so small but does the big thing. I bought two more as the gift for my friends. My favorite wind jacket ever!

Great Jacket! Would highly recommend for all summer activities

This is my favorite spring layer for ski touring and Running. Light enough to protect you from wind and sun on spring ski tours and thin to keep you cool.

I love how lightweight and packable this shell is. It's still early spring, but I can't wait to bring it along on my summer hikes. The fit was consistent to what I take in Arc'teryx tops with a bit of room to fit a thicker long sleeve under.

I bought this a few weeks ago and glad I did. I use it every day either by itself or layering it under other jackets. It is light and packable. I will be buying another color as soon as they are restocked!

Very happy with it. Was comfortable running in the temperatures below 0C. Its lightweight, breathable and comfortable. Today I decided to be a little bit more adventurous and went for a fast paced hike in 26C (feels like 35C) in Edmonton. I was wearing a merino baselayer and a merino hoody underneath. I was sure I was going to regret it, but actually it felt quite warm and comfy. Of course you should not stop, otherwise you'll freeze :)

Very lightweight, practical jacket. Excellent quality

I bought two of these I loved them so much and then bought one for my mom as a gift! They are literally a must have, great for spring, summer and fall in the mountains! So lightweight and easy to pack. I wish I would have gotten one sooner!
