Love My Kyanite AR Hoody!
a year ago
This is one of my favorite daily wears from Arc'teryx! I use this almost every day, and it works well as a lightweight hoody to wear at almost all times, but when it gets colder, you can simply layer on other vests (Like the Atom Vest), or just throw on your Beta AR over it, and you are good to go!
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, comfortable, stylish
Q: Cons:
A: None
Q: Activity
A: Commuting, hiking, running, walking around town.
Q: Your Height:
A: 5' 10"

A: Overall great
Q: Cons:
A: Not suitable as only layer for cold

A: 182
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great in all regards, but too short
a year ago
Bought a second Kyanite, hoping it would be like my old one from 3 years ago. Sleeve length and width were still great, but the revised fit was way too short, it barely reached my belt. Comparing it to the old one it seems at least 3 to 4 cm shorter. Sizing up to medium would make it too loose in the arms and chest. Hope the next gen will make it longer again, still a great layer in terms of warmth and weight. Had to return this one, unfortunately.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Top class hoodie
a year ago
I bought this hoodie few weeks ago. The material feels very soft to the touch. It stretches in all directions. Feels really comfortable to wear. It’s well stitched and looks very nice. I would buy a size up if you wear your hoodie loose. I am normally 47/48 chest. XL was a bit tight so swapped it for XXL. If you have a flat stomach then XL would probably fit. Very happy with it overall.
Q: Pros:
A: Quality finish, stretchy, feels goo
Q: Cons:
A: Pricey
Q: Activity
A: Hiking
Q: Your Height:
A: 6 foot

Great as an extra layer
a year ago
Bought this a few weeks ago as a light layer to go under a rain shell and does the job perfectly. Only criticism is that the length was a little on the shorter side compared to other hoodies but not majorly.
Q: Pros:
A: Warm for how light it is
Q: Cons:
A: Came up a little short
Q: Your Height:
A: 5’ 11”
Yes, I recommend this product.

Leider viel zu lange Ärmel
a year ago
Ich bin seit Jahren begeisterter Arc’teryx Kunde. Leider sind im Laufe der Zeit die Ärmel sehr lang geworden! Auch bei der Kyanite……an und für sich ein wunderbarer Hoody. Toll als Zwischenlage oder auch solo als Jacke zu tragen. Allerdings sind die Ärmel so lang dass die Kyanite schweren Herzens zurück geschickt wurde. Es wäre großartig wenn Arc’teryx wieder „normale“ Ärmellänge herstellen würde.

Ultra soft fleece that's perfect for layering
a year ago
I've used this hoody for the past two months for a range of activities from multi-day mountain trips in BC to camping with my family in California. Whilst scrambling in the mountains at 2,500m it was perfect when layered with a base layer then as the evenings got colder I wore a down jacket over the top. It was also great when sat around the camp fire on the beach and the Jungle colour means I can't be missed!
The Kyanite Hoody is really low profile so there was no bunching of the material and the zippers lay totally flat so there are no pressure points. It also packs down really small into the hood for easy storage in a day sack. The hood fits under a mountaineering helmet if you need to shut out the cold from your head.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight and super soft
Q: Activity
A: Hiking and scrambling
Q: Your Height:
A: 184cm
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good potential, currently flawed design
a year ago
I bought this jacket a month ago as a very light fleece/base layer for fast and light adventures. While it is very thin, almost alarmingly so when you examine it, it insulates effectively. I was shocked how much warmth this layer could add under a mid-layer or even light wind shell. Likewise, it is highly breathable, probably a side effective of how thin the fabrics are. The main thing holding this layer from a higher rating is it’s construction. As I noted previously, it is very thin. I knew that going in, going as far as to examine it in person and buy it from a store. I have several other UL pieces of equipment, many of which have lasted 3+ years of active use in the back country. I actively babied this fleece while using it. I have yet to use it as a standalone piece in the back country keeping it sealed under some sort of shell (normally a gamma sl softshell due to mild weather). I have only used it as a standalone piece around the house, 90% of which has been nighttime readings on the couch or my bed which are very static and protected areas. Despite this, there’s a pinhole puncture on the chest of the fleece, which is not a high abrasion area. I expected more durability for the cost, brand reputation, and use I’ve given this jacket. This might end up being the final straw that makes me look elsewhere for my “no expense spared” mountain equipment. I am certain there are other pieces of gear that would be more high quality, possibly for less. Sadly, this is the first piece of Arc gear I have gotten that has made me question if they’re heading in a negative direction which fails their outdoors base. I justify the expense of Arc products with their performance and quality, and while this jacket has performed so far, it has low quality standards for the price leaving me disappointed and looking for a different layering solution in the future.
Q: Pros:
A: Effective insulator and layers well
Q: Cons:
A: Poor build quality and materials
Q: Activity
A: Mtn Running, Trekking, Sleep Layer (in a bag), General Layering
Q: Your Height:
A: 5 feet 10 inches
No, I do not recommend this product.

UPDATE - This is an update to my perviously posted review. I have continued using this jacket since posting this review and two things have impressed me more than I expected with more use. First, I am very impressed with the cut of this jacket. When I originally wrote this review, I had used this jacket as a base layer (over a light t-shirt) and as a mid layer (over a thin long sleeved shirt). For how my body temp runs, this is pretty standard summer layering. However, I have been traveling lately (to the Californian and Oregon coasts), experienced some unexpectedly cool temps, and forced this layer in a more stressful layering role. I was impressed at how well it could stretch around bulkier layers (in this case a cotton sweatshirt) while still feeling more or less like new when using it over other layers. I haven't experienced this versatility with other layers and it lended this jacked some extra credit and reasons for keeping it around in the future. Secondly, is really thermally efficient. I mentioned this in the pervious iteration of the review but I thought it deserved a second mention. I haven't use the newest fleeces from Arcs competitors so I don't have a good secondary benchmark, but it is very impressive. I still have durability concerns, but if I could, I would go back and up the review to 4 stars now. I'd compare your options, but if you land on this jacket as being the one for you, it could serve you well.

Premier Comfort and Performance
a year ago
The Kyanite has quickly become one of my favorite Arc'teryx garments and my go to piece for a variety of conditions and activities. It is super soft to the touch, feels great on skin, and has impressive warmth while staying lightweight. As far as activities go, I have worn this climbing and hiking on multiple occasions and find that it performs super well. In terms of size and fit, I am 5'8" 140lbs and got a medium. I would say the fit runs a little smaller so if you're in-between sizes, consider going up. I wear small in a lot of Arc stuff but sized up on this one.
This jacket is stretchy and is very comfortable to climb in. It doesn't pull up much at all when reaching overhead and stays below a harness without much convincing. A big thing I enjoy in my climbing jackets is the ability to pull up the sleeves comfortably when I'm actively climbing. This jacket has stretchy wrist cuffs and easily pulls up your forearm without being too tight. The hood fits easily over or under a helmet and fits comfortably without a helmet on, which I find to be rare. Sometimes hoods are mega large to accommodate a helmet or too small to fit one at all. This strikes a perfect balance. The material isn't too thick so it tends to breathe quite well on approaches or when the climbing kicks up a bit. If needing to layer, this jacket serves as a functional mid-layer without being bulky under a shell.
My only minor bit of constructive feedback for the design team to make this even better would be to consider a small stash pocket on the chest for easy access while the other pockets are under a harness.
All in all, this jacket is remarkably comfortable, well designed, and is one of my go to layers for anything climbing and just day to day use.
Q: Pros:
A: Comfortable, Stretchy, Warm, Light
Q: Cons:
A: None to report.
Q: Activity
A: Rock Climbing, Hiking, Backpacking, Day to Day
Q: Your Height:
A: 5'8"
Yes, I recommend this product.
