Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Delta Jacket

First a correction need to be made under the "Features" section of this page: there are no hand pockets. It mentioned two hand pockets, there are none. Just like the hooded version (delta MX) that was available last year, this is a slim-fitting fleece with room around the chest but slim around the waist. Articulated pretty well for overhead reach. The sleeves are long enough to use the thumb loop without tugging. The hem isn't too long and has a generously sized chest pocket. There are a few minor differences to the delta MX: - No drop hem, while the MX has a 2-3 cm drop hem. - Fabric is a little thinner, which is a bummer for me. - Thumb loops are hidden and horizontally vs the expose and vertically cut in the MX. If you want a hoodless version of the Delta MX because layering with too many hoods is a hassle, this is a great piece. For reference, I am 175 cm with a 106 cm chest and 83 cm waist.

I haven't taken this off since I got it. Great mid layer, super comfortable, fits and looks great.

Amazing mid layer for skiing. Warm enough to wear over a tshirt around town too. Love the fabric and texture too.

I climb in this layer more than any other. Keeps me cool while climbing and retains heat at the belays. My number one pick for start-stop activities

Got this as a midlayer, but have also been using over a shirt while climbing in 0-5 C. It's light and packs small enough that it lives in my bag even if I don't plan on using it. After a year of use only sign of wear is a tear from whipping into a tree.

Recently bought the 2022 model on the Outlet store, been wearing it almost daily since a couple of weeks and so far really happy with it. Great quality/value! Size fits perfectly, not too loose and not to trim. This works great as a mid-layer or stand-alone. I like that it is warm enough but yet very lightweight and packable. Ideal for technical activity, simply at home or even during a flight while travelling. The new outer layer is a nice touch in my opinion, just looks a bit fragile and I just hope it will be durable on the long term (I usually keep my Arcteryx stuff for at least a decade): something to possibly take into consideration if you have a dog that likes jumping at you for example. I don't mind not having the hand pockets anymore, not really an issue for me, and the thumb holes are quite useful when layering or simply adding a bit of warmth to your hands. Can't go wrong with the Delta!

Super comfortable, excellent fit, no pockets! Pretty much perfect! If there were more colors I would buy them.

This jacket is lightweight, easily packable, and aesthetically pleasing for those who favor minimalist designs. Its standout feature, however, is its exceptional thermal control. I predominantly wore it during my 2-week trip to Iceland, and it exceeded expectations in temperatures ranging from 4C to 17C. Paired with just a medium-weight merino wool long sleeve as a base layer, I only needed to add a shell jacket in particularly strong wind and/or rain. Conversely, as the temperature climbed, the Delta showcased its impressive breathability and moist-wicking abilities. I only found the need to remove it when in direct sunlight or during the more strenuous parts of the hike. Despite its light fabric, the Delta proved surprisingly durable, ending the trip with just one small hole in the sleeve (entirely my fault). The fit is impeccable. However, it's worth noting that I have a very slender frame. Standing at 176 cm, I typically opt for XS or S sized garments. In the case of the Delta, XS was a perfect fit. One minor drawback: the chest pocket. For me, its placement and size are impractical, even for small items. It's certainly not suitable for larger objects like a cell phone.

I bought one a few years back and love it so much, I got a second one in a different color ;-) I wear it year round to keep warm or just to be confortable.

The versatility with this jacket is awesome. I use it as a stand-alone jacket in the fall and a mid layer in the winter under my shell ski jacket. It's lightweight fabric and packability are an added bonus.

Bought this around a month ago and have barely been able to take it off. Very comfortable, nice fit and great either as a base layer or mid layer

Bought this 2 weeks ago and it has quickly become my goto flecce. The fit is perfect, not to tight or losse, just right. The lightweight material and attention to detail and quality of stitching is exactly what i expect of an arcteryx product.

Purchased this a few years back and I've found it to be great as a relatively warm midlayer while trekking in northern latitudes for fieldwork. Doesn't add much bulk to either a pack or a layering system, and very comfortable.

Just got the Delta in Medium. I'm 5'8" and 180 and it fits perfectly. A great in-between piece that's more robust than a base layer and active fleece. Incredibly comfortable and breathable. Immediately became a staple for me. Recommended!

I tried this jacket on when I was in Oslo this summer. They didn't have my size, but as soon as I got home I ordered and couldn't be happier. I have perhaps a dozen fleece pieces in various hooded/non-hooded configurations, and the Delta Jacket is the simplest and most sublime. I can throw it on over a short sleeve tee and be comfortable around the house or on a cool weather hike. It's also just minimally technical in its look which makes for a stylish impression that goes over well when going out to dinner. Sometimes simplicity is the answer, and this is a case where that is absolutely true. I couldn't recommend this jacket more highly.

I bought the Delta last year and it was one of the best purchases ever. I wear it almost daily to work and hikes along the trails and it is a lifesaver when the conditions change to the cooler side. It also does a great job at keeping you cool thanks to a grid fleece that lets out damp hot air easily. Durability wise it holds up better than previous delta iteration. All in all could not be happier with this purchase! I hope it will stay for long.

Recently purchased this light weight fleece jacket. Love it. It's cut right for athletic activities or just to wear around. I see some reviewers want pockets. Given it's really light weight - I think the jacket is better without them. Plus, it has a pocket on the chest if really needed for something small. Great item Arcteryx.

I've been trying out the Delta Jacket, a piece I've wanted to try out for a while, and I wasn't disappointed. It's been very useful with camping, especially on the colder evenings/nights, wearing it for a mixture of being cosy and comfortable, but keeping warm. It's a slim fit, questionably on the tighter side but it is meant to be a base layer style, breathable when moving around and the material feels soft on skin. I'm not a fan of polartec or fleece on my skin, so the Delta material is perfect for this. I'm excited to try this out as a go to layer for the colder days snowboarding and backcountry touring, as I know it will maintain my warmth during high output activity, without causing me to sweat or be drenched. I would tell my friends to purchase this item for those high output activities.

I love this jacket. It is the perfect midlayer for moderately cold or rainy hikes. Soft and breathable with the right level of warmth. The style also allows for daily wear.

Trs belle veste lgre, trs souple, trs bien conue et adapte au port du baudrier.

I recently purchased this ultra light zip up it fits very well with a cross over bag with near-zero space.

I work as a full time mountaineering instructor and the arcteryx clothing and equipment is just first class.

Not too warm, so good functional piece for active use or as a light layer when static.

a versatile piece, keeps warm when needed and let the body breathe in hot weather.

Perfect mid-layer top; light and warm. Fits as advertised. Love the quality; Arcteryx never disappoints.
