Cerium Hoody Men's

Bought this about a month ago, slim through the trunk. Worn it several times and it keeps me warm in very cold and windy days, no shell required if there is no rain

Light, warm and works great with my Beta AR shell. Few weeks ago, we had weather down to minus 44 Celsius and I just had the Cerium on, walking in town. Glad it has the hoody.

Short: + Wärme-Gewicht-Leistung + funktioniert auch gut als Mid-Layer unter Hardshell-Jacke + Bringt die typischen, nützlichen Funktionen wie Züge an den Bunden mit - Der Reißverschluss wirkt qualitativ nicht sehr stabil und könnte potentiell eine Schwachstelle sein. Hier wurde vermutlich auf einen einfachen, leichten, flexiblen Reißverschluss gesetzt, um die Jacke gut verstaubst zu machen. Long: Ich war länger auf der Suche nach einer Daunenjacke, die ich gut im Alltag, aber auch mal bei Hikes im Winter tragen kann. Zusätzlich sollte sie als Mid-Layer unter einer separaten Hardshell-Jacke funktionieren, wenn es doch mal stürmischer, regnerisch oder deutlich kälter als -5 Grad wird. Im Cerium Hoodie bin ich fündig geworden und bis dato (einen Monat im Gebrauch) sehr glücklich. Ich habe lange recherchiert, welche Jacke die richtige ist, habe mich letzten Endes aber auch dank Hilfe eines schlauen Kommentars hier auf der Website für den Cerium Hoody und damit gegen den Cerium Hoody SV und vergleichbare Jacken anderer bekannter Hersteller entschieden. Ich habe sowohl den Cerium Hoody, als auch den Cerium Hoody SV anprobiert. Von der Passform her sind sie vergleichbar. Die höhere Bauschkraft von 1000 Cuin beim Hoody SV merkt man, wenn man die Jacke in die Hand nimmt. Dennoch ist die Wärmeangabe einer Daunenjacke nicht ausschließlich durch die Bauschkraft zu definieren. Zusätzlich zählt das Füllgewicht (wie viel Daune nutzte ich in der Jacke) und das Mischverhältnis zwischen Daune und Federn. Hierfür gibt es online einen spannenden Calculator. Wie vom Kollege aus dem schlauen Kommentar, hier der Tipp: bei Google bspw. „Down Warmth Calculator“ suchen. Das erste Ergebnis sollte „rjtedge.github.io“ sein. Insgesamt schneidet der Cerium Hoddy in der Kombination der drei Variablen besser ab, als der Ceroum Hoody SV, wenn es um die Wärmeleistung geht (sofern man den Calculator als einzige Wahrheit sieht). Da dies meine Priorität war, habe ich mich gerade deswegen für das „Standard-Modell“ entschieden. Ps. Wenn du zwischen zwei Größen liegst, nimm tendenziell die Größere und zieh die Züge am Bund eng. So bleibt die erwärmte Luft gut in der Jacke, du hast aber immer Platz noch einen Layer drunterzuziehen. Pps. Das ist eine rein subjektive Bewertung. Ich bin weder Extremsportler, noch Spezialist auf dem Gebiet und kann nur meine Erfahrungen und Rechercheergebnisse eines Monats wiedergeben.

It is my second coat of this type! I had another one and I really liked it! Only thing is the zipper is cheap! Also it is very compressible, ideal for plane travel! My previous one made a lot of travelling!

I wore this jacket for a month and feather started leaking inside the jacket. I found a small cut in the liner that I believe it was caused by manufacturing defect. I contacted customer service and haven't heard from them for over 5 days. Very disappointed.

I brought this midway through last year on sale and it’s perfect for those -20 days up on the hill as a midlayer, But mostly used as my everyday going to work hoody so comfortable and warm

Purchased from the online outlet. The jacket itself is decent- well made and fits well. Problem is, I purchased in a light colour ("ether" ie a light blue) and the first time I wore it out, I realised it was covered in small, kind of greasy discoloured marks, like it had been handled by someone with greasy hands. I should NOT have to wash a new garment because it was sold me dirty. Because it is from the outlet, I can't return it. QC in the outlet needs to be improved...

I received this jacket to replace my old Cerium LT of the same model. The new version is a different cut...shorter in the front. The revised Cerium looks like a cheap puffy that you would buy off of a wholesale table at Costco. Day two of wearing the jacket a hole appeared in the seam on the elbow.

Keeps me perfectly warm at 0°C with only a t-shirt underneath. Below that temperature, I would need a shirt and a sweater to go with the jacket. This jacket is really light and packable. Perfect for travel. My chest size is around 40-41 inches. The medium fits perfectly fine even with a shirt and sweater on.

Firstly let me start by saying I’m a MASSiVE fan of Arc’teryx clothing. I’ve owned numerous jackets of varying types over many years. The original Cerium LT was always a bit fitted across the chest for me so I was massively excited to try the new Cerium Hoody. The positive is the fit is absolutely spot on! Slightly more roomy in the chest area than the previous LT model. Now for the negative and sadly it’s a big one. I’ve now ordered this jacket in two different colours from two different authorised Arc’teryx suppliers - the first being Habitat and and the second being Oracle. There appears to be a HUGE quality issue with the new down insulation. In both the jackets I received the inner filling was both visible and had stained the nylon - see on the Oracle colour way received in my pictures. I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be noticeable on black or dark colours so beware! Come on Arc’teryx this isn’t the normal quality I’ve come to expect. Really disappointed.

I did not expect to see what appear to be stains on the back of this jacket. I have two photos but one will not upload. The jacket would be perfect without what appear to be stains on the back. I will likely not wear it. If I viewed this product in the store, I wouldn't have purchased it.

I'm very satisfied. Soft, warm, light I recommand it

The Cerium LT is very useful for fall and winter as either an outer layer or mid layer. For cold Canadian winters, I use this under another down jacket or shell like the Beta and it fairs well even at -20 to -30C conditions. Keeps me very toasty especially when indoors. The fit is true to size, I am around 180cm and a medium is the perfect length for me. Being able to pack it with the included bag is a nice addition when camping or for trips. As probably mentioned by many others, the other downside is the delicate material, which may be prone to damage if you stumble across tree branches and such. The zippers could be higher quality but it's understandable to keep the weight down.

Nice fit and very light. My first choice was thorium but the fit looks odd to me. I would love to see the cerium in 24k black

Jacke in XL passt bei 1.86 auf 88-93 je nach Saison gut. L hätte auch gepasst aber bei XL sind die Arme schon knapp an der Grenze. So kann ich die Jacke mit Lagen und ggfs bei einer Pause sogar mal über die Hardshell werfen. Das 15D ist meines Erachtens jetzt der beste Kompromiss. Habe mich zwischen der Rab Mythic Alpine und dieser entscheiden müssen. Rab hat nur 10D und keine verstellbare Kapuze. Dafür einen „richtigen“ Reißverschluss und 100% Daune. Trotzdem hat die Cerium die Nase vorn . Die 850cuin sind subjektiv bauschiger als die 900cuin von Rab. Obwohl diese wahrscheinlich sogar nach US und UK Messverfahren ermittelt wurden. Kritik an der Cerium: 1: warum wird hier keine 100% Daune verwendet. Den Gedanken der Kunstfaser verstehe ich nicht. Beides sollte vor Nässe geschützt werden. Trockenzeit ist hier der einzige Vorteil (wer mal ne Nasse Kunstfaser anhatte versteht mein Gedanken). Nachhaltigkeit ist damit fragwürdig. Nach 5-8 Jahren versagt die Kunstfaser (fällt ein) und die Lebensspanne der Daune ist (richtige Nutzung) theoretisch unbegrenzt. 2: Reißverschluss. Mögliche Querbelastungen (bspw durch Klettergurt und Armbewegung) halten die kleinen Zähne dort?! Insgesamt wird dies meine Go-To Daunenjacke fürs Klettern, Pausen beim Bouldern, Weitwandern und unter meiner ME Citadel bei garstigen Bedingungen im Biwak. Der Preis kickt für die Jacke. Allerdings handelt es sich dabei auch nicht (wie inzwischen allzeit zu sehen) um ein Modestück.

I’m a ski patroller and being on the mountain on a daily basis means we are always contending with changing weather. For those colder days this is perfect, I keep it in my patrol pack and usually put it on before we do our final sweep of the mountain. Arc’teryx is my favorite and it isn’t a secret why, in two words quality and high performance. Is it cheap? No but it will last.

I will use this jacket as an around town coat, under my shell for skiing, and back country as an insulating layer. This is my second one.

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Thorium AR in my size and was initially 100% set on it, with the restocking issues and winter around the corner I decided to research and explore the Cerium, and I can say I’m very happy I pulled the trigger and purchased it! Living in AB Canada we get dry cold weather down into the -40 some days and this jacket with a fleece or thick long sleeve is perfect for me as I overheat quite quickly, and you know Arcteryx jackets are ovens ! I had the chance to wear this during a week of -25 to -35 weather with some windchill, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with how warm it was! The jacket is a great fit for my body type, I purchased the Large as I would say I am an athletic build, 5’ 11” and 200lbs with broader shoulders and bigger than average arms, so finding a jacket to fit my body type without being too big on the trunk and waist can be difficult, but the Cerium is nicely tapered to avoid this problem and doesn’t let cold up my back or around my waist. The quality of the jacket is great, it’s not too puffy, it fits tight to the body, the hood is snug and cozy, and I’m a big fan of the huge pockets, the jacket comes with a pack sack and packs down surprisingly small. I haven’t had the chance to wash the jacket yet so I can’t talk on that which I know people have had issues with. My only Con would be the jacket does feel like it’s freezing or becomes more solid/crunchy in the below -30 range but that’s expected, I don’t think there’s anyway to avoid that. Overall I’m really happy with the Cerium and I’m happy I purchased it, this jacket is warmer than my Atom AR by far and I would recommend this jacket for a stand alone jacket and a mid layer under a gore shell!

I just recently was in the market for a new winter jacket that was light, warm, and reliable!! This hits all tree of those points straight on!!! Don’t even think twice about buying this product! Arc’teryx does it again !! Awesome product

I am happy as it performed well in my recent trip to the Sierras. Kept me warm up to 20 deg F

Very nice dawn hoody, although I wish the zippers where of better quality at this price range, they seem fragile. Time will tell if they last. Bought a Large and it fits perfectly. Love it!

First coat I’ve bought on here and the quality is very good as expected. Wanted a coat for colder days around town (-10 to -20 Celsius) and seems perfect to pair with a base layer. Used the size guide before ordering and fits as should.
