Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Atom Hoody

This atom hoody is the worst jacket I've ever owned ! Reason? I ride bikes often and was riding with coat on and got caught in a mild sprinkle of rain. This stained the coat, which took several days to disappear . Material is as sensitive as tissue paper . It's horribly designed and not for any precipitation!

I got the smoke-bluff Atom hoodie and I love the colour, the fit and the comfort that it provides. Warm enough to wear as a top-layer for daily activities and it has been the perfect mid-layer for mountain excursions!

I find the Atom Hoody just the right weight for shoulder-season activities or as an extra layer if colder. And the colour - absolutely beautiful!

This is the most versatile mid layer I own. I love how it keeps me warm when needed but vents effectively.

I've owned 3 Atom Hoody's and once I found it I never went back to other mid layers. Fits perfectly with a helmet on, roomy enough for multiple base layers, and trim enough for multiple layers on top

Truly an excellent Purchase. This Atom Hoody is simply the best mid-layer all round jacket one can buy. To start off, the quality is great, zipper never fails, it's water proof to an extent and keeps me warm in regular conditions. The hood is the perfect size (usually a miss with outdoor jackets), the interior is super comfortable and warm with no extra layer needed in the inside for extra comfort, and the overall fit is perfect if your wearing it underneath, over top, or as a single layer. For a 5'9 athletic build, this jacket fits me perfectly, with the perfect amount of space to move, not too tight or loose, which gives it a very stylish and athletic look on the outside. Temperatures: Now, here it gets iffy. The jacket is meant to be worn underneath an outer layer, or over-top of a hoodie, and for that it is literally perfect. Super comfortable and snug like you're getting a hug, warm, stylish and nonrestrictive, and can be worn in negative temperatures if used as a mid-layer. However, the jacket is also amazing when used on its own, as your only layer, that is under ideal temperatures. If your going on a walk, doing activities, or just talking to some buds at 10 degrees C and don't want to bundle up, this is perfect; keeps you warm, dry, doesn't make you sweat, and is very breathable and agile. However, if you are expecting this jacket to keep you warm in freezing temperatures, or in the snow, or in very windy circumstances where its 1 or 2 degrees, It simply will not. It will definitely help, and keep you somewhat warm, but not for long as it's not too thick. If used properly, it is a perfect jacket. Overall: The jacket Is perfect. I used it when I'm going on walks, scooter rides, going to eat, as an extra layer, going to school, work, while driving if its cold, at night when going out, and as a base/mid-layer when skiing, in the snow, or during the cold months of winter in freezing temperatures. Furthermore, this jacket paired with the arcteryx insulated or an arcteryx alpha or beta shell is the perfect combo to keep you agile, warm, and dry. With this very flexible and reasonable price tag, the jacket fully satisfies all my needs, and is a number one pick when going out on a regular cloudy day. Fully recommend it, and I have never been happier with this purchase.

This is my core jacket from 35 to 55 degrees, wearing the Covert fleece when it's warmer, the Cerium when it's colder or really windy, and the Thorium when it's frigid. Looks great; nothing like it.

Highly recommended. Light and warm. One of the best winter jackets.

Great jacket for moderate to chilly temperatures. I bought this to be used as a stand alone as well as a mid layer for the colder outings. I've had the jacket about a month now and love it. The fitted fit is much nicer than some of the other boxier cuts and it's breathable. I've used it while hiking/walking as my outer shell in 19 degree weather with a thicker base layer and was fine. Jacket is lightweight, moves well with the body and is packable. I love the stretch cuffs making it easier to put on and take off over gloves. The hood also stays in place really well and doesn't hinder your vision or use of a headlamp. Haven't had it out in the rain yet to test the water durability. I'm sure when used as a mid layer this jacket will shine and keep you warm in the coldest temps. Great versatility allows you to go from the trail to a pub with ease. Overall, this is my go to jacket.

I bought this jacket a couple of weeks back and the first time I wore it out I noticed thread from inside the jacket was coming out. Considering the price of the jacket I assumed they'd rectify the issue but no. Arc'teryx are too caught up in the hype of being a fashion brand and have forgotten their ethos. People pay top dollar for top quality, and maintaining that standard should be top of their agenda.

warm smart GTX

I picked this hoody because I love my Practitioner hoody for SAR and was looking for something similar but in more "casual" colors. Although I like the Practitioner's interior better. I still love this jacket and I have been wearing it pretty much everyday since I got it! Very comfortable, just warm enough, and breathable, and it is nice enough (at least in Solitude color) to wear at the office.

Only had a chance to wear a few times so far, but this hoody is a perfect mix of temperature control, wind resistance, water resistance (more for misty/light drizzle) and overall weight.

Such a wonderfull purchase! Love it! Warm enough for spring but light enough for warmer days

Bought this again for my husband. It feels good,looks good. He wears it most time in winter spring and fall

My first Atom Hoody. I love it. Perfect fit - tight but not too tight. If you prefer a wider fit, take a size larger than normal.

this is my second Atom Hoody, the other one i had for 6 about years, love it for all my Winter activities. Keeps me warm and and cozy.

Kjpte denne for noen dager siden. Fin passform. God kvalitet. Varm. Fin jakke som passer til bruk alene, men og godt som isolerende under skallejakke.

Fantastic all year jacket. Midlayer in the winter, and outer layer spring and fall.

I have several of these in different colors. It's one of my favorite styles.

This is my 4th Atom and again a great piece of all round Kit. Warm comfortable for all year round use .I have 2 old size xxl and 2 XL to use under other kit as a mid layer. New advert 2024 says "Fitted Fit - This trimmer fit is patterned to stay close to the body through the chest, waist, hip, and thigh" This is NOT correct. I bought a XXL thinking it would be Trimmer than my existing one but its about 2" bigger in the chest and has longer arms?? I sent it back and bought an XL and its perfect - slightly bigger than the old XL.

Bought this jacket for hiking and general day to day. LOVE IT

Excellent all-arounder! I was looking for a jacket to fill multiple purposes and this one fit the bill. I live in northern Nevada and mornings/evenings can get chilly so I wanted a jacket to ward off a lower temp that isn't overly bulky. I'd like to easily shed it when the temps warm without taking a lot of room in the stuff pack or just holding it. We don't get a ton of rainier but when we do, the hood design is nice. The pull strings draw the hood close to your head and will surely withstand windy days (which we get *often*!). Myother jackets have helmet compatible hoods so it's nice to have a normal-sized hood. My second purpose is to have a jacket that I can wear under my AlphaSV when I want something warmer in my layer strategy. I wear a base layer and a mid layer, and I'll tweak the mid layer based on expected temps. This jacket will be a very nice "heavier" mid layer to wear on cold days. This is also my first purchased in the revised sizing. I wear a small in AT shells (traditional sizing) but in the new sizing I wasn't sure where I would land. I bought a Small and Medium expecting to return one. The revised small sizing was too snug in the chest but the Medium fit really nice. Glad I bought both! Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I plan to wear it tonight at the local beer stop... :-)
