Atom Jakke Herre

The Atom Lt is the best light weight puffy that I have ever owned! It's a great insulating layer under a shell. Most of the time when I'm snowboarding or fly fishing in foul weather all I need is this jacket under my waterproof shell. I stay very warm and still have great range of motion in my shoulders and arms. The only drawback to this jacket is it's durability. The outer nylon shell on the Atom albeit lightweight, tears very easily. I have had 2 Atom Light's and both have torn in multiple places while I'm fishing or wearing it with a backpack. My first one was torn by my backpack belt while I was just hiking on a trip in WY, normal abuse, nothing crazy. My newest one tore on a thorn bush the other day while I was coming off the river. Not acceptable! I know this is supposed to be an insulating under layer but it is also a great lightweight outer jacket for cooler weather conditions. If Arc'teryx would just slightly beef up the outer shell on this jacket with some rip stop or heavier gauge nylon it would be the perfect jacket!

Had this as Christmas present and used most of the week we were up in the Lake District with just a base layer on. Great product kept me warm but thanks to side panels not sweating. With neck collar allows more comfort and warmth. Zip very easy to use and looks great as casual jacket so one jacket instead of 2.

This jacket is the real deal. If you are hiking, camping, climbing or simply attending your child's sporting event outside this jacket can do it all. It is surprisingly light and can provide warmth in anything down to around 20 degrees. I work in an outdoor store and I tell our customers that this jacket is the best all around . I do wish it was water proof, but really that is not a big deal, because this jacket it supposed to be a layering piece. I appreciate the light weight and the way that it fits. Truly, there is no jacket like it.

I'm 6'2" 230lbs with athletic build the XL fits like a glove. This is a perfect 90% jacket, in other words you will wear it 90% of the time. Slides on easy because it has smooth nylon interior and the zipper is perfect works great and never stages. I lost my favorite Mountain Hardware jacket a few years ago and have been searching for the perfect jacket to replace it, this one is it. Highly recommend.

Bought this very recently to do some trekking in Yoho National Park in BC. Temperatures were a balmy -25 Celsius the entire weekend but the Atom layered under a lightweight wind breaker was perfectly warm for the walk in and out. I have come to except this type of exceptional performance from Arc'teryx products and the Atom is a layer that I will never be without in the bush.

Works as designed. Provides adequate warm in cool weather, but not cold unless either performing activities beyond walking, nothing a shell can't fix. Design issue is the fabric near the chin. If you've got stubble which I imagine many users might, it wears at the fabric, and soon looks like it may even tear it. Other brands I own have addressed this issue. Disappointed that Arc'teryx hasn't on one of their bestsellers. Also own the Camosun which doesn't have such issues. Will inspect this prior to next purchase.

I am 5'6" tall, 160 to 165lbs, 40" chest, 32" waist. I wear a size medium which fits well over a base layer or over a light sweater. The fit overall is great, but being a shorter, stockier guy the sleeves are too long and hence tend to bunch up too much around my wrist, but I'd rather have the sleeves too long than too short. The breathable side panels are nice and stop me from overheating, but in windy conditions you can feel the air passing through the jacket. In windy conditions I would wear a shell over top.I typically wear my Atom LT with a t-shirt underneath in 40 to 50 degree weather, then add a sweater underneath in 30 to 20 degree weather, at around 15 to 20 degrees, I'll switch to my Atom AR or throw a shell on top so the wind isn't blowing through the jacket. Even though this isn't as warm as my Atom AR it is my go-to jacket for running errands, walking the dog and other activities.

This jacket is very versatile- it can be worn casually with jeans, or it can be a windbreaker for the outdoors. Fits true to size (medium), highly recommended!

First product that I purchased from Arc'teryx, would highly recommend everyone owning one.

I got this jacket a size big so that I could grow into it but still wear it. I've been wearing it for a couple of years and I love it, I've also gotten several complements on it. Over all, it's a great jacket and I would recommend it to anyone.

just a great jacket period ware it all the time Awsome

I read that everyone at Arc Teryx owns an Atom, well we all should too! This was my first Arc purchase and it made me come back and buy more and more. The Atom is awesome as a fall / early winter jacket or as a mid layer. I wear this as the temp gets down to 0c its sneaky warm. You wouldnt think it is by looking at it as its so thin & light but it is. Also, the DWR finish works so well. Ive been caught in situations with light rain or snow and its kept me dry. I can also wear it over a sweater or hoody and it still feels great. When the weather dips below 0c, I wear the Atom as a mid underneath a Theta shell & its so comfortable as a mid. I can hardly tell I'm wearing it.

I have skied with this as a mid layer for over a year, that's about 100 days on the mountain. I use this in tandem with the Stingray hardshell. This is a great mid layer. I also where this around town on warmer days...above 40 degrees F and it's great. I cannot say enough about it. I love it.

A friend of mine has owned his atom for some time now; and has been after me to get one too. I have the Stingray jacket and other ArcTeryx clothing, so I usually just layer under for added warmth. But finally decided to buy one for the cold dry weather days. Wow.. What an incredible amount of heat from a near weightless jacket. It seriously weighs like nothing. And honestly feels like its made from a premier sleeping bag material. (which makes me again ask why ArcTeryx doesn't make sleeping bags) But thats another story. The only caution is that the fit is different from other sized jackets. I wear a L in the stingray, and an XL in the Atom. Overall, this jacket is absolutely in a league of its own. If you're looking for a warm mid layer, or dry weather outer shell, and wanna stay toasty, don't hesitate. Buy today… BTW, the new blue looks awesome….

I think I must have four Atom LTs in my closet, great as a sweater in the shoulder season, and a great layering piece for winter sports.

I love this jacket! It packs easily and can be used in many different temperature ranges. Feels very comfortable and fits like a glove. The only downside is it is a little tight under the arms, but I don't notice it after wearing it a while.

Pros: very light but warm, especially thought for outdoor aerobic activities quiet windproof highly moisture resistant in my opinion, as a mid layer, it is far better than fleece, especially in a cold environment Cons Fits a little bit large in the hips

This jacket is a "Trim Fit". I have lots of Arcteryx pieces and all but 1 are size XL. I need an XL for this jacket. Large is too tight across the back and shoulders. The XL fits nicely everywhere except around the belly/waist. It is too big in that area especially for a "Trim Fit". In comparison to the Thorium AR that I have, it fits about the same but the Thorium is a roomier "Athletic Fit". The Thorium AR has an adjustable hem drawcord so that make it fit better. The Atom LT does not have this adjustment. This is not a deal breaker for me. Just be aware that this "Trim Fit" is big around the middle with no draw cord. Also be aware that the "Carbon Copy" colour is not 100% grey like the photos on the website show. The inside is a burgundy/reddish colour that can be seen anytime the jacket isn't zipped all the way to the top (see attached photos). For me that was a deal breaker so I exchanged it for the black version which is black inside and out as shown on the website. For sizing I am 6' tall, with a 33" waist, 44" chest and I weigh 190lbs. I really like the long long arm length of Arcteryx clothes but the waist size versus the rest of the dimensions is off. Climbers, back country campers and skiing are the activities that these clothes are being marketed for. The people who do these activities are in shape and tend not to have large mid-sections.

this jacket is super light yet breathable and warm. I use it as a midlayer under a shell or alone down to the low 30s. I am 6'3'', 210lbs and the large fits me perfect
