I bought this jacket and the zipper separated about the fifth time I wore it. I got a store credit, bought the jacket again, tried it on at home, and the zipper separated.. Buy something else. Also read the reviews. This is a known problem.

Zipper broke

5 months ago

Bought this jacket in September, wore it a handful of times. It’s warm and packable however my zipper broke:/ i’ve read a couple other reviews complaint about the same thing and for such an expensive jacket you would think the quality would be better… the zipper seems cheaply made and didn’t last more than 3 months for me. Luckily i bough the Cerium through REI so i was able to return mine for a full refund but this isn’t always the case with Arc’teryx from what I’ve read. Super bummed because i did love this jacket.

Fun fact: the jacket can be packed into the small cinch back that is stored in the chest pocket. I also love that the hoody is nice and roomy which allows me to easily pull it over a beanie without it feeling tight. It's super warm and fashionable which makes it versatile for any occasion.

Totally worth it!

6 months ago

Super warm down jacket. Very durable. I got snagged on something, but nothing happened to the jacket. Very comfortable fit. I am in between M and L, went with L so I can layer if needed. Pricy, but totally worth it. One of my favorite Arcteryx pieces; I own 7 items and will be adding more in the future.

Complaint About Severe Quality Issues with Jacket

6 months ago

I purchased a light-colored down jacket, but it is filled with a large amount of black down, particularly concentrated along the stitching seams, sleeves, cuffs, and hood. This is entirely inconsistent with the label stating that the jacket contains 90% white down, and the overall appearance is drastically different from the sample shown on your website. The contrast between the black down and the light fabric gives the jacket a moldy appearance, making it completely unwearable. While your team has confirmed that the jacket’s performance is not compromised, the significant presence of black down in a light-colored jacket severely affects its aesthetic. As a customer, I believe I have the right to receive a product that matches the description. I find it unacceptable that such a severe quality issue has been dismissed as a “normal color variation.” I hope Arc'teryx takes this issue seriously, improves the way it handles quality complaints, and ensures that similar problems do not occur in the future. As a long-time supporter of Arc'teryx, I expect more than just functionality from your products—I expect the high level of quality and service that the brand promises.

Hello there, thank you for your feedback on the Cerium Hoody and for sharing your concerns. We understand how the appearance of the dark down fill in a light-coloured jacket can be disappointing and appreciate hearing from a long-time customer like you. Your comments on the jacket’s aesthetic and quality are valuable to us, and we’re committed to sharing them with our product team as we work to improve. Thank you again for reaching out.

I have exactly the same problem with my jacket. Under the arms and in the elbow crease, when the down moves around with movement, the dark inside lining shows through the front lighter material and looks unsightly.

Disappointing for Defective Product

6 months ago

I recently purchased a cerium hoody, but upon receiving it, I was very disappointed with the quality. The jacket appears to be in poor condition, almost as if it is moldy and second-hand, which is far below the standard I expected. The stitching areas were discolored, and there were noticeable black spots and scar-like marks on the shoulder cuffs and sleeves. Additionally, the jacket’s overall appearance, including the front, back, sleeves, and even the hood, had black smudges and marks. It looks as though the jacket had been affected by mold or improper handling, which was quite concerning, especially since it did not match the appearance shown on the website. When I contacted customer service to request a replacement, they informed me that it was a "final sale" and that the black spots were "normal." This response is incredibly frustrating, as I expected better quality and service from such a reputable brand. Unfortunately, the lack of assistance in resolving the issue has left me feeling dissatisfied and let down. It is disappointing that a product in this condition would be sold to a customer!

Arc'teryx Guest Services

Hi Vivian, thank you for reaching out. We see that you submitted a Product Service Request form regarding this matter. The good news is, these spots are not stains but the down insulation in the jacket. At Arc'teryx, we choose to use down as a valuable insulation material due to its exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio, compressibility, and resilience. The reason why you see a different shade is because we do not dye our insulation and we use the down insulation in the natural form to maintain the warmth-to-weight ratio. On brighter or lighter-colored garments, sometimes the down can be visible through the face fabric, especially at the seams and crevasses. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to answer any questions you have.

Customer services told me to wash my brand new down jacket to get rid of this “issue”. This of course did not work as it’s the dark down showing through the light material. A specific design fault. Arcteryx won’t admit their error or exchange the jacket for a darker colour. I am emailing their CEO to see what he has to say on the subject. It really isn’t good enough.

Great companion in-city and the mountains

6 months ago

Mostly there. Purchased for wife. Got a small which felt originally roomy (5’6”, 115 lbs) but appreciate it for layering. Was great to bring to a hiking trip through Norway and Scotland in Sept: low weight for the plans but plenty of warmth in the shoulder season. DWR kept up in the light rain. Only docked a point due to my wife complaining about the zippers. The zippers felt like an afterthought - a bit flimsy - on an otherwise premium jacket

Warm, compact and always in the bag!

6 months ago

I love my Cerium Hoodie. Very compact, it’s always on my backpack for any trip as a safe net if I need extra warmth. The fabric is extremely thin and I was initially concerned to have it tearing or damaged but so far so good. Surprisingly resistant as I always challenge my gear quite a lot. Have some feathers coming out I’m a bit worried about (don’t have this with my cerium vest tho). Otherwise super warm both in summer Alpine setting and winter wild camping. Size great (Medium for 5”2 with a muscular frame). Would definitely replace it one day in another colour more flashy or if Burgundy or Dark Brown is ever back!
