Kyanite Hoody Women's

Big picture: I wear this on an almost daily basis. Great piece for casual wear and cold-weather outdoor activities. It is comfortable, breathable, and versatile. Pros: Trim fit makes it a great mid-layer Long enough for good coverage and no gapping when active (I'm 5'9") Gorgeous color options Super soft fleece Easy care Cons: I'd love it if the mesh pocket liner was sewn down at the waist to make an internal pocket.

I am very happy with this hoody, I’ve worn on a few hikes and I wear around the house, it’s super comfortable, so soft, I actually don’t realize I am wearing it. It’s my go to piece for hill walking and general every day use. I believe it is thermo regulating, I do not ever feel too hot or stuffy in it. Yesterday on my hike I wore it for most of the day over a long sleeve running top. It kept me warm and dry in 10c and some light mist, I removed for a strenuous gully climb but put back on, for the walk home. In terms of size, i am age 49, uk10 to 12, I wear the M and i am very happy in it. It’s not shapeless but not fitted either. There is some piling already and it’s only 2 weeks old, but I’m wearing it almost constantly. Piling is around the pockets and arm from friction of the movement. It cost me 180e - that’s a lot of money, that’s a lot of money to me, but I know I’ll get tons of use from this top. I hate when I get too hot or stuffy in a top and I’m very fussy about tops that can regulate my body temp. This top ticks that box for me. I’m disappointed with the piling so giving it 4 stars. Also I’d love thumb loops- I think I the design team should look into re enforcing the areas exposed to friction to prevent Piling and introduce Thumb loops..,

The inside is super soft... looked down and am wearing it now! But I didn't realize there were different fits and I buy a lot of arcteryx because it normally has more female shape. I might have passed on this one had I known it was more shapeless. Also looks more blue green on the screen, and is more green IRL

I bought this over a month ago after I tried it on and fell in love with how soft it was. I thought I would use it primarily for walking on chilly days either wearing alone or under a jacket because it’s a slim enough fit. It’s great for that, but I’ve recently started running in it on colder days (not sure if that was one of its intended uses) and it’s amazing!!! You start off cozy and don’t end up getting too hot because of its wicking abilities. My only problem with it is that I am slightly in between sizes in that the medium was too bulky in the chest (I am 5ft 8 ~ 138lbs) but the small was slightly tight too tight under the armpits. I ended up buying the small because I wanted to wear it under things and now I am used to the under arm being a bit snug. I prefer to wear only a tank under it as it seems to perform best this way. i would definitely recommend this as a great all-around performance piece.

My favorite~Wish to wear it everyday~Easy to wash ~Keep me warm in this early winter~

I have several regular weight Kyanite and wanted to try the AR style as it is a lighter weight. I bought the colour in Wander. I like to add some colour to tops and will experiment with colours. I find that the colour is not too gold and more towards a mustard. The fit is good and I wear a medium in Arcteryx tops. It can get cold here in winter and I would wear the regular weight hoodies when it is that cold. The hoody washes well and I line dry it.

Bought this jacket in black and like the fact that it is long enough to cover my bottom. Perfect layering hoody for fall and winter.

Bought it for a trip to Yellowstone and it has become a staple. The inside is so soft and cozy. I never want to take it off!

Perfect for layering - hiking, xc skiing! Perfect for sleeping in during summer cooler nights
