Essential

3 years ago
This jacket is super lightweight and packs into the front pocket. Offers a good amount of wind/rain protection for the weight. I wear it year-round and never leave for a trip without packing it into my backpack pocket. It saves me from freezing to death on my plane rides every time I travel somewhere warm where I otherwise wouldn’t have a jacket on me.

Yes, I recommend this product.

One of the greats

3 years ago
bought my Squamish to fulfil a very particular need: a superlight jacket to wear over a light fleece. To be honest, the sizing options aren’t perfect for this. This jacket is designed to go over a base layer, like a hooded wind shirt, really. The xl fiit over a tshirt perfectly for example BUT I ended up going for the slx for my purpose. It is maybe a bit long and a bit baggy as a result. So why 5 stars? Because this is undoubtedly the best, most breathable, wind jacket I’ve found, by a mile. The fabric breathes so well it is incredible, and feels fantastic, not kind of plasticky like some (still very good)competitors. It shrugs off light precipitation like a champ too. I can’t mark it down just because I chose to size up for a use that the jacket isn’t really designed for…but if arcteryx made a slightly less fitted jacket of this material, I’d be on it in a flash. Would be an awesome bike jacket, too, in the smaller size. I may just have to get another.
Q: Pros:

Light and useful

3 years ago
Good little windbreaker. Lightweight, inexpensive, stuffs in its own pocket. Unfortunately also retains sweat smell VERY quickly and doesn't breathe quite as well as I'd hoped. The fit is somewhat accurate although sleeves are unusually long; longer than other Arc'teryx jackets I have in same size.
Q: Pros:
A: Light, compact

A: quickly retains sweat smell

Great jacket, not waterproof

3 years ago
This is a comfortable wind shell that offers some protection against wind but is still breathable. I wore it on the Grand Teton and Cirque Traverse this summer and while it did help with wind, it was not nearly as effective as my Arc'teryx Beta SL Gore-tex shell which was much more comfortable (and something I'd carry anyway for emergencies). This packs up really small which is an advantage, but I really only see myself using it in situations where I wouldn't bring my hardshell. The yellow color is great, but it did get dirty after a few months.
Q: Pros:
A: small, light
Q: Cons:
A: not waterproof at all, got dirty
Q: Activity
A: Alpine climbing

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great in windy conditions

3 years ago
I baught this jacket for my trail running kit but i end up using it for pretty much all outdoor activities. It keeps you protected from the wind without hearing you up. What I particularly like is the fact that when you use the hood to protect yor hed from the wind you can still clearly understand people that are walking behind younon a single trail. Don’t expect any water protection, bit thats ok, Arc’teryx doesn’t claim it does.
Q: Pros:
A: Light weight, protects from wind
Q: Cons:
A: None
Q: Activity
A: Trail running, hiking, ski touring

Yes, I recommend this product.

Love it!

3 years ago
Super versatile piece of kit! Works great as a standalone breathable windbreaker and as a layering piece. I recently wore this on top of a base layer for a few 14ers here in CO and it kept me comfortable even in ripping wind while still being extremely breathable. Can also easily throw a puffy on over it to create a nice insulating layer. Really happy with this purchase, for the weight, its a no brainer to carry everywhere.

Trim Fit

3 years ago
I typically take any size medium Arcteryx clothing item and it fits my tall slim frame perfectly. That said, the "trim fitting" medium Squamish hoodie fits me snug to the body - especially in the arms - though it was not restrictive with movement. Heavier folks should probably take a size up. I would be inclined to wear it over thinner layers. Otherwise, it's exactly what I was looking for in a light/packable windbreaker.
Q: Pros:
A: Light, packable
Q: Cons:
A: Be mindful of trim fit
Q: Activity
A: hiking, photography, city walks, camping

Yes, I recommend this product.

Super versatile!

3 years ago
Bought this windbreaker recently and have already used it more than expected. It breaths super well and the fabric feels way more comfortable next to the skin than other windproofs I've worn from other brands. It's shielded me from some blustery and drizzly weather whilst out on my mountain bike, and whilst it's not marketed as a bike specific layer, it has a long enough tail to stop any uncomfortable gaps on my backend and the hood fits comfortably over a helmet. It also looks great! So I've worn it for some breezy afternoons in the beer garden too. One thing to be aware of is the photos online don't quite match the colors. I ordered the red looking jacket and it's actually more of a burnt orange. No problem for me, but just an FYI.
Q: Pros:
A: Breathable, comfortable, great cut
Q: Cons:
A: Colors don't match online photos
Q: Activity
A: Mountain biking, beer drinking

Yes, I recommend this product.

It fits nearly perfect which prompted concern that when layering it wouldn't work, I was wrong. When I’m wearing layers underneath the jacket it feels like I’m wearing one jacket. Plus when it is a great jacket for warmer weather as well given it’s very light weight design. Great product!!

Many good excuses

Very good windbreaker

4 years ago
I have purchased 2 squamish hoodies in the last several years, They are a very good hiking jacket very good wind breaker and if it's a light rain or damp conditions they should keep you fairly dry. If I were to improve 2 things about them I would put side pockets as each one of them does not have side pockets, Also I would make them just a little bit bigger as to allow a fleece or a sweatshirt or Henley on a colder day

Coupe vent parfait

4 years ago
Acheté en ladon- M (1,80m 72kgs) il est très bien fini et très confortable. J'aime beaucoup la coupe qui permet de l'utiliser directement au-dessus d'un t-shirt ou dessus d'une 2eme couche fine type micropolaire. Fidèle à la description : leger, respirant, compact et coupe très bien le vent. Si la durabilité est au niveau du reste alors ça en fait le coupe vent parfait ! Très content de cet achat destiné à la base aux sorties montagne mais que je mets dès que je le peux !

Wonderful lightweight windproof layer

4 years ago
I ordered this jacket in Black size M for use in my layering system. Ideally to be a layer for when i know there wont be rain, but there will still be lots of harsh winds. I use this over the top of the Atom LT hoodie. The two hoods clash a bit, and its maybe too tight to have a medium Atom LT under a medium Squamish. If i could go back and order again without faffing with returns i probably would have ordered a L just for extra room for layering. However, this works great on warmer days just worn over a T shirt! It packs into its chest pocket into next to nothing so its great for packing into your bag, or even a fanny pack. Its very minimal, only the one pocket. But, seeing as its designed to be ultralight, all the bells and whistles have been trimmed down to ensure maximum utility for minimal weight. I would completely recommend this jacket, for standalone use, or over a warm layer like a fleece or a down or synthetic jacket! Ideally, pick a midlayer with no hood to avoid the bunching and interference.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, Packable, Windproof
Q: Cons:
A: Very trim fit, minimal features
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, Camping, Hill walking

My daily shell

4 years ago
I know that Arc’teryx items is meant for high output activities, backcountry or remote places. I know that! However, this is my daily jacket for walk around town and parks with my wife. I bike in it also. Can’t be happier. Fit is loose and that is what I wanted. Majority of Arc’teryx jackets are trim fit and I see here few people expected that. They were disappointed but I can’t be happier. It is easier to find trim fit than regular fit here.
Q: Pros:
A: Light, great fit, thin, waterproof
Q: Cons:
A: No cons (seriously)
Q: Activity
A: Walking, biking, hiking

Yes, I recommend this product.

Cut small

4 years ago
The best quality of this jacket is that it's made from Goretex material and that it is light weight. The style is cut narrow at the shoulders so it makes it tight at the shoulders when you wear a sweater or similar mid weight layer. The pockets are sewn in too high which makes it kind of weird walking with hands in pockets.
Q: Pros:
A: Goretex
Q: Cons:
A: Fits narrow across shoulders.

A: wind and rain protection

No, I do not recommend this product.
