Bought it for my wife, she is so happy!!
a year ago
We went to store and found this gem, but unfortunately they don't have size XXS (it's quite normal they don't have it in store), so we went online and purchased one, the overall quality is still superb as usual, looks sleek and perfect to be a middle layer.

Fantastic product, worth every penny. Soft on the inside. Just a single layer of fleece but so warm. I layer it with a smart wool sweater for 40s windy weather. The hood is so lightweight you don't feel it when you're not wearing it.. beautifully fitted. Love love love it.

I bought this mid layer some years ago and the hood, at that time was fitted, which I really liked. I bought another garment more recently, and the hood is now loose, so much so that it blows off in the wind offering no protection at all. If the hood were made to be fitted againI would certainly buy again, but otherwise I not.

Excellent Hoodie, Warm, Flattering, Comfortable
a year ago
Arcteryx hits it out of the park with the current Kyanite Hoodie. The fabric seems improved from an earlier version from about 3 years ago. That older version was not bad, but the fleece was heavier and had more bulk. The current version had soft fabric like a sweater but the shape retention and durability of a jacket. You can wear a layer under it. You can wear a layer over it. You can wear for exertion activity outside as the fabric is very breathable. The fit is also excellent. I love that the hoodie very attractive, as well as comfortable and suitable for active pursuits. Did I mention well made? My only complaint was the colors. Navy and blue are uninteresting and undistinguished. White was just too impractical for a fleece I will live in all winter. Pink was paler than the picture and looked like a pajama top. The yellow (Edziza?) was way too bright (imo). The final one I got (Smoke Bluff) was an outstanding color. I am very happy. Maybe more colors will come out in which case I would get a second Kyanite Hoodie.

Returned it. Terrible color. Thin cheap-feeling material. Arc'teryx prices are ridiculous to boot.

Great piece, Still Sorting Through the Colors
a year ago
I ordered the Kyanite Hoodie in the light pink. First off, the hoodie itself is outstanding (like so many of Arcteryx products). It has an excellent and flattering cut which has room to layer underneath, room to layer on top, is long enough, and has that Arcteryx quality of being warm but never overheats you - in other words, it felt great on. I also appreciate that Arcteryx is innovative in terms of colors. That is one of the elements that makes Arcteryx different and interesting. All that being said, the light pink was lighter than what appeared in the photos. Anything that looks like it might be part of a pajama set is unfortunately automatically out. I next tried the Ediza color which looks to be a subdued gold on line. In person the color is a very bright yellow orange - in other words, too bright for me. The one blue has been around for awhile and is sold out. The beautiful new green for fall 2023 is made in the jacket version but not the hoodie. I will not get a color if I already have a garment in that color. That rules our Fika. So, am currently at a bit on an impass about which color to get. Based on comfort, fit, and appearing to be very well made, can recommend. (But obviously I cannot say how well it wears). I am 5’ 6” weigh about 145, and the Med was perfect.
Q: Pros:
A: Well made, beautiful fabric
Q: Cons:
A: The colors have me stumped
Q: Activity
A: Biking
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’6”
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bring back the old fit :(
a year ago
Love my Kyanite so much that I wanted another one. Unfortunately, Arc’teryx has revised the fit and it’s now short in the arms and boxy and short in the body. The material is nice and the fleece is soft, but the fit just isn’t right for layering. Had to return it. If the old fit ever comes back, I’ll be buying multiple.
Q: Pros:
A: Soft material
Q: Cons:
A: Revised fit
Q: Activity
A: Skiing, touring
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’9”
No, I do not recommend this product.

Kyanite Hoody
a year ago
I own a number of Kyanite hoodies. This hoody is as light of not even lighter than the light Kyanite - even so that you can practically see through the fabric especially towards the bottom. The Kyanite has become progressively thinner from a few years back. I would recommend for early fall/spring and should be good with this one - and have to
say I do love the color. If it were not for the color it may have been going back.
Q: Pros:
A: Good fit, great color.
Q: Cons:
A: Fabric quality going down
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, boating, walking, general use
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’5”
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pilling
a year ago
I loved this hoodie from the moment I put it on, great fit, super comfy, perfect amount of warmth and much stretchier than a competing brand’s popular fleece, but unfortunately after only a couple of months it was so pilled, it no longer looks very good. I only wear it around the house now.
Q: Pros:
A: Stretchy, comfortable, warm
Q: Cons:
A: Pilling
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’4
No, I do not recommend this product.

Excellent layering or stand alone
a year ago
I love this hoody. It is my go to sweater for running around the city or as a layering piece for hiking or lounging at camp. I used this as my travel sweater and in the mountains for added warmth. I love the high collar aspect so if it gets cold it will cover up to my chin. It's a fabulous layering piece under a wind or rain layer and very breathable.

Umm what happened to my favorite fleece?
a year ago
I bought the Moonlit color from a partner site (love that color). I am a solid size Small in Arcteryx, always! I have owned 3 of the Kyanite hoodies already and this new version is a disappointment! I had to compare the fabric with my old version and it is much thinner! It is also loose on me! And the old version is body-hugging which I love! Also, why did you move the logo to the sleeve?? It looked so nice on the front!! I am sad, I want the old version back :(.

Daughter loves it!

Bought this for my adult daughter because she is petite and always cold. She loves it and says it is warm and soft against the skin. She says it is the perfect warmth without the extra weight. She has an Arc'teryx shell to put over it should the nippy wind pick up.
Q: Pros:

Sizing chart is off- beware
2 years ago
According to the sizing chart I needed to order a large. I’m 165 lbs, size 36B bra, size medium in most tops. Size large tops in Patagonia. It fits large. A large is fine if I want to use it as a oversized jacket. For layering a shell over a medium is a better fit with still enough room for under layers. It’s very stretchy. I’m using for a spring skiing layer under a shell and a medium is a much better fit.
Q: Pros:
A: Light layering layer
Q: Cons:
A: Size down from chart sizing
Q: Activity
A: Skiing, hiking, biking
Yes, I recommend this product.

Kyanite Hoody
2 years ago
The new Kyanite Hoody is great -it is softer and warmer than previous versions. I was confused by the new sizing. At 5’3”, 98 lb, with a small frame, I’ve always fit well with size XS. I tried the XXS in this hoody first. The body fit well with a little extra room, but the shoulder seam hit at the halfway point across my shoulders and when I reached forward the end of the sleeves was 2” too short, which was surprising for me as sleeves are usually too long for me. I tried the XS, which fits pretty well. The body of the XS is a little roomy, but not too baggy. The sleeves and the shoulders fit me well in the XS.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Poor revision of a once awesome jacket
2 years ago
I have this hoody from a few years ago and love the fabric and fit and have gotten a lot of use out of it. This new revised version the fabric is thinner so I’m assuming not as warm. The older version the medium fit awesome thru the shoulders, chest and waist. The revised jacket the medium is too big under the arms, across the chest and along the hem by several inches each area. I then ordered a small which was too tight. 5’4” 126 lbs, average build. Not sure who they are designing these revised versions for. This is now the third try at replacing an older, much loved and used jacket with a new one that had to be returned due to fit issues.
Q: Pros:
A: Used to be great
Q: Cons:
A: Sizing off, fabric not as good
Q: Activity
A: Hiking
No, I do not recommend this product.

My favourite mid layer
2 years ago
I bought this to replace my 2015 version that was eaten by my dryer. I was going to just use my Atom instead of replacing it but the hood and fit of this just can't be beat for back county skiing. I was a bit concerned reading some of the reviews about pilling and durability but my new one is just like my old one. Pretty much perfect for my use. I love the hood; it is small enough to tuck into my shell hood to stay dry, thin enough to fit under my helmet, and snug enough to keep out wind. This thing has the best warmth to weight ratio of anything I own and hands down is the most breathable. I don't care if it pills, but it hasn't. I also don't care much about the pockets because it's a mid layer but bigger pockets on all Arc’teryx would be an improvement. I wanted a trim fit so I got medium. I'm 5'3" kinda busty and 145 pounds.
Best 200 bucks you'll spend for a performance mid layer.
Q: Pros:
A: Hood design, breathability, warmth.
Q: Cons:
A: Pocket design
Q: Activity
A: Ski touring
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this hoody in the Moonlit colour when it finally came back into stock. It is tight-fitting and had a very strong chemical smell out of the bag. It was a good layer to have during December in the desert. I'll try layering with it when I go skiing or snowshoeing and see how that goes - I thought it would be a more casual piece but with the fit I'll use it more as a mid-layer than a standalone piece.
Q: Pros:
A: Soft material, stretchy
Q: Cons:
A: Chemical smell, fits small

A great fleece midlayer for backpacking or skiing, I’ve had my kyanite for a few years and it is still just as plush and warm as the day I got it. I do like the newer style however as it feels a little more supple and not as tight in the arms as the model I have, but chalk it up to evolving design and my beefy arms.
Q: Pros:
A: Warm, packable, hood
Q: Cons:
A: Snags, tight arms
Q: Activity
A: Backpacking, hiking, camping
Yes, I recommend this product.
