Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom Heavyweight Hoody

I am a HUGE fan of both the Atom LT and Atom AR. In fact I've had 4 of the LT and 3 of the AR over the last few years. Have been needing to replace my old AR due to buying it in a colour that was completely inappropriate for weeks of mountain climbing, finally Arcteryx delivered with this awesome bright pink colour! Techno is everything I wanted in a jacket - I just wish I could afford the LT version too! Having just completed 3 weeks in the high Himalayas I took my Atom LT, AR, and Cerium - the LT was worn EVERY SINGLE DAY. There really is no other jacket out there that's comparable for me. The AR was used every evening, and on the snowy mornings I layered the two together. The AR is a great jacket, super warm, packable and lightweight. Perfect for layering with other mid-layers or a hardshell on colder days. But for an all rounder - the LT version is faultless. It's the first thing packed before every expedition, just need to find time to get mine repaired after years of abuse has torn the cuffs. Would 100% recommend.

I wish this jacket was made into a fitted version, with either NO hood or a DETACHABLE hood!! I need something warmer but hate having the hood pool around the Beta AR dropped collar! Thanks for the consideration

I am very happy with this jacket. Recently I wore it on a chilly hike in the rain. You could say I was testing the waterproof-ness. It was 40 degrees and this jacket kept me warm and dry. The water sits on top of the jacket but shakes off easily. Also the smoke bluff color is very nice. I got an xs, for reference in am 5 feet 4 inches and weigh 115 lb. I would probably like it more if it was a few inches longer but that's just because I like to cover my bum.

I LUV THIS COAT. PERFECT FOR WHEN U DON'T WANT TO LUG A HEAVY COAT, AND YET KEEPS U VERY WARM. I USE MINE FOR WALKING THE DOG. NOT TOO PUFFY ALSO. I NOW OWN 3 DIFFERENT COLORS AND LUV THEM ALL. GREAT PURCHASE!

Just buy it! I had the LT version but found it wasn't quite warm enough for my cool weather adventures. Just spent a week hiking Sedona and Grand Canyon to test this out and it was incredible! Warm without being hot and totally wind proof. I love the green color as well. Thank you Arcteryx !!!

Buy this. You will be so happy and warm and comfortable and cute. 5'3 120 size small. Fits great. Love love it.

I absolutely love this jacket. I purchased it a few weeks ago and I'm really impressed with the warmth it provides. It definitely has more weight and thickness than the regular Atom without restricting movement. I've been wearing it to climb in temperatures below 40F/4C and I haven't been cold at all. I got an XS and I can still layer a second hoodie, base layer, t shirt, and tank top under it. For reference I'm 5'4", 112lbs and an athletic/slim build with wider shoulders and a smaller waist. Even when I throw it on over just a t shirt, it keeps me warm in colder temps. This is my go-to winter mid layer for climbing. The Boxcar color is stunning.

INFINATELY COMFORTABLE sueper warm and an amazing aall round insulator

Bought as a mid layer for snowboarding and it has been great and warm. It is on the baggier side but that's okay for me, I cinch the waist cord and it solves that problem. Great for Vancouver weather. I wear it on its own during these warmer winter days. It's some what water resistant so it keeps me dry. Would recommend this to others.

The Atom is a staple jacket in my collection. This will be my 4th Atom jacket. I live in Chicago, and it gets me through MOST the winter. It is light weight but very warm. It packs easily, and the quality is unmatched. I sold back two of my Atom jackets to upgrade to a new color.

Added this piece to my Arc line-up, and it couldn't be more perfect! My layering staples of an RHO, Atom jacket and Sabre shell have been my unmatched "go-to" for years. Each are great on their own, but also complement each other in tandem. The Atom has been my most-worn for almost everything, but when the temp really drops (into the minuses), a void was created. Well, in stepped the Atom HW, and it couldn't be more perfect. Ridiculous the warmth to weight ratio on this piece, perfectly warm yet breathable at the same time, and remains easily layerable under my Beta shell, even as a "regular" fit. The water resistance is a nice add when one gets caught out in changing conditions..no need to panic!

I bought this for cold weather backcountry skiing, climbing and rescue work (where we are often standing around). It outperformed my expectations, especially in the wind and especially since it is so lightweight. Nice feature to been able to cinch the hood back and the elastic at the wrists to keep snow out. Runs large. Only missing feature is a chest pocket for my phone.

I've owned a couple of these over the years and find I rarely look at any other mid layer as an option when deciding what to wear. A great jacket for almost all conditions.

Warmer than expected! I run cold and wear multiple layers no matter what I am doing. I wear the regular Atom Hoody in the warmer months (which I love), but it was not warm enough for me in the colder months. I was concerned when unpacking that this jacket would not be warm enough either due to it being too thin, but I was wrong. The heavyweight Atom hoody is warm, and I now wear fewer layers to keep warm in the colder months.

I LOVE this jacket. I got it a few years in black from REI. This year I got the boxcar color and it is beautiful. It is very warm, well made, and easy to move in. Highly recommend for layering when skiing, or taking a lunch break on the trail.

I got this a month ago, and its so comfy and warm. I'll wear it with just a tshirt underneath in 30 degree weather and it still keeps me warm. I'm excited to use this for the rest of the winter.

I bought this a couple weeks ago before the cold weather started. Perfect timing. It's wind and water resistant for the cold wet winter days.

I wear this almost every single day--cross country skiing, midlayer for alpine skiing, walking outside, literally everything. It's warm and windproof and I can sweat in it without it losing heat. it's packable and perfect for traveling. I take it everywhere and wear it everywhere; I'd truly be lost without it.

Moved to a colder climate and decided to upgrade my atom for colder walks/runs and I bought the heavyweight in the boxcar color and it's perfect! It's boxier than the LT imo but I'm the same size in the whole atom series I think.

This is a very warm jacket with a good fitting hood. It is great for hiking

This is absolutely a wardrobe staple for me! Once the temp falls under 65 deg F, I'm putting this heavyweight on. Keeps me warm, the right amount of cozy, still looks "polished", and doesn't collect lint. Flattering fit with functional insulation for someone that runs cold.

Really comfy, fits well. There is a bit of extra room for more layers and to trap air. Feels like putting on a pillow and is very warm.

I wear this jacket everywhere! Perfect for a cooler day in the city, so light and easy to pack on an adventure.

I bought this late spring and only have worn it a few times but it instantly became my favorite jacket. Finally the weather is cooling down so I can start wearing it again. It's light weight but very warm. Perfect for the cooler day activities! Great quality and great fit! I continue to recommend this jacket to anyone who asked.

This is a versatile jacket for lots of activities. I will definitely get a lot of use from it walking dogs, xc skiing, etc. The green color I ordered is beautiful! It is pretty boxy fitting, and seems to run a bit large to me. I ordered medium, and almost wish I'd gotten small, but I can layer under it this way! Great overall, light but warm!
