Atom Hettejakke Herre

Excellent jacket from a materials and quality perspective, but the revised fit has hurt what made the old jacket special. I get that you've modified your clothes to offer more inclusive sizing, but as an individual with broad/muscular shoulders and arms I find it incredibly difficult to find clothing that actually fits comfortably in the chest/arms without looking like a dress around the waist (even with the cinch cord). The old Arcteryx Atom jacket was perfect, and I know that there are many people out there who came to love Arcteryx for that very reason, the uncompromising fit for those athletic individuals who use the gear for its intended purpose (climbing, skiing, mountaineering) and I feel that the old fit is what truly set the brand apart from the competition. I know that there are many others who feel this same way. I understand the difficult position whereby the brand needs to design a fit that will sell product, however in my opinion with the rise of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and the increasing prevalence of gym culture among today's youth, I believe there will be more people who share my opinion in the coming years. A potential solution: Offer your best selling pieces (Atom, Proton, Cerium, Alpha, Beta, Thorium, Gamma, Delta) in both a revised fit (regular) and the old fit (slim). That way everybody can get the fit that works for them in the product they want, and I'm confident you move enough volume in those pieces (certainly the atom) to justify the additional product line. Thank you for hearing me out.

Second Atom - seems to be sized a bit larger in the XL than a few years ago but still a good fit. Cuts wind better than you'd expect. The 2-tone looks way better in person than I thought it would, pretty boss colour combo.

I like this a lot except that the colour wears off. A bit disappointing given the price. Colour is enigma.

Love this jacket, it provide warm when it needs. I was on the East coast bouldering and it was windy and brisk... perfect bouldering temperature. I climb with the jacket, it is light and flexible which make it feel right for movement.

After not even 4 weeks, the collar is worn out and damaged on the inside. I’ve only worn the jacket to go grocery shopping, no long tours whatsoever. Store employees swear to never have seen this, customer service says it is my fault. They insinuated my beard is at fault, but I don’t wear one :) Such a “technical” jacket is not built to withstand such light use, if I am interpreting their mail correctly. However, they presented a generous offer of 40% to buy the jacket again. I mean… what could possibly go wrong? No question this was my last item from arcteryx
