If you’re looking for more or less insulation/weight there’s the Atom SL (superlight) and the heavier Atom AR (all round) which cater for the other ends of the spectrum. It’s also available for both men and women, with unhooded and vest options. The Atom LT is one of the many insulated hoodies from Teryx, with the LT meaning lightweight. Impressive all-rounder with a sleek design.Recommended for skiing and snowboard, ice/alpine or regular climbing, hiking and Trekking (and I frequently use it for cycle touring too).Uses Coreloft synthetic insulation (ace warmth to weight ratio) that continues to keep you warm when wet.Designed as a thermal mid-layer or as an outer layer in milder conditions.A seriously comfortable insulated hoody with great mobility and versatility in a lightweight package.The majority of my winter has been spent in a base layer, the Atom LT and a waterproof over the top. And, over the space for four months, we’ve grown pretty much inseparable. The hoody even kept me warm through a whiteout, precariously trying to navigate the Jura Mountains.įrom hiking and backpacking trips, climbs, cycle tours, snowshoeing routes, around the house and all over town, it’s safe to say I’ve worn it in enough conditions to really get to know one and other. Unfortunately, it’s been pretty mild overall but has still given me 15☌ to -15☌, 60+ mph winds, heavy rain and snow, amounting to some varied testing. I’ve rocked the Atom LT hoody throughout the 19/20 winter period in the French Alps.

#Arcteryx atom ar update
Their reputation seems to be: if you can hack it, so can the gear, with one of their most popular products being the Atom LT: a flexible, completely vegan insulated jacket that weighs in just over 400g whilst packing a thermal punch.īecause their vegan range is damn awesome we keep a close eye on their new products and were pretty stoked when they asked if we’d take the new update to their classic Atom LT for a spin.
Basically, unless you’re going scuba diving, you should probably invest in a good insulated jacket.Īrc’teryx, an outdoors brand from British Columbia, has been setting the benchmark with their serious sleek gear that performs when it matters most. These babies are the backbone to your packing list, the foundation to your outdoor gear and the item most likely to become your adventure favourite. If you’re a regular here, you’ve probably heard me harping on about how important it is to find the right insulated jacket, and that’s because it’s true. After spending the last few months adventuring with the Arc’teryx Atom LT hoody, it’s time for the review!
