Atom Hoody Men's

Old sizing was perfect. Now the small is way too small and the medium is too big. I own 6 of the Atom (formerly Atom LT) jackets and the most current one with the revised fit is just terrible. Sad these don’t fit the way they used to…

My previous atom (2019) has very narrow shoulders which looked funny on me in a size large. Extra large was always way too bulky in the torso. This new atom fits me perfectly. The main issue for me has always been wide shoulders and longer arms. The fit of this jacket is perfect if you are athletic. It’s articulated well also. I can raise my arms overhead with zero hem lift. I know everyone has an issue with tyono 20 fabric but I have yet to experience anything other than minor pilling after 5 years. Of course I don’t use this with backpack straps which seems to be the main issue. If I’m hiking I use my proton or a soft shell. I don’t feel that’s it much larger than the pervious version besides the room in the shoulders. For reference I’m 6’ 205lbs and lean. The large fits perfectly.

Just received my new Atom and I agree with Noah from two weeks ago. This new batch of Vitality seems darker and richer than I’ve previously seen. It’s a really beautiful color. And of course the Atom is just a really great hoodie! Highly recommended!

Every year, I buy my hubby a new atom hoody - reliable, multi-functional, and attractive. A big guy, he wears a XXXL. With few available, I buy them, immediately. Wish that Arcteryx was a more inclusive with sizing, for folks that are big and active. It's a 5-star jacket, but lost a star for exclusion in sizing.

This is my second Atom jacket. They are great for winter activities, or cold nights/days.

This product failed first use and it was deemed to not be covered by their warranty. The outer material is apparently virtually tissue paper, and tore in several places after a light push through some scrub oak on a hike. This is my 4th Arc'teryx jacket (I love the others) and I will not be shopping with them again after how easily this ripped and was refused to be covered.

Was sold this product as a base layer to my ski shell (i believe the rush is the shell) and was told this would hold up to spring skiing on warmer days. Took 1 sping skiing day to rip this coat and now you guys will not offer to honor your warranty. The “ gore tex pro “ on my shell is a joke as well, already stained after a season of use. Will be looking into a new jacket system this season, unacceptable customer service and quality.

Got my black atom stolen a few months ago and couldn’t handle life without it. The new one is such a beautiful blue colour, I love it! So comfy and versatile, a must have for anyone!

The most versatile jacket(s) I own... not too heavy for alpine, not too light for Scottish winter (under a shell), ideal for ski-touring, just slim enough to take bike-packing. Perfect for walking, ideal for travelling. There really is not much else I own that fits into such an array of uses. Some folk grumble that the wind whistles through the sides too much, but in this instance it has been the wrong jacket choice, or a shell needs to be brought. The sides negate any sweat build up, the SV version of this is much less useful without them. If anything, and this is super minor; I do not need these pockets to have zips. If open, they would be comfier for walking on the hands/wrists, and would be closed by a harness waist-belt when climbing. But I cannot see a version like that coming out. Love this jacket.

J'ai beaucoup de produits arcteryx mais parmi tous celui ci est de loin mon favori. Je l'ai en 3 couleurs différentes et l'utilise à tous les jours hiver comme été. Ultra confortable et respirant, il est pratique dans mon métier d'entraineur , quand je fais de l'escalade ou dans mes 2 heures de vélo quotidien. Je ne peux que le recommander !

This jacket is my absolute favourite during the summer months in mountain climate. I always carry it in my backpack when I am handling out in town or when I am in the mountains. It is a decent wind stopper and water resistant in light to moderate rain. I just purchased my second one after around 6 years of loyal service from my first Atom. Very versatile piece of clothing.

I love the jacket. it's warm, light, and beautiful. Unfortunately, it suffers from the same consistent outer fabric quality issues that many have posted here. see pic. took me some time to figure out how this happened. it was just my wearing a backpack daily, and there must have been friction between the jacket and one of the straps of the backpack. never happened with other jackets, so this speaks to how delicate this jacket is. wouldn't recommend if you anticipate any activity other than walking...

Purchased this jacket for my husband last year, and he only wears it in the spring and fall, and it started pilling. It’s so disappointing after all of the Arcteryx jackets I’ve purchased, that it happened to this one and when we contacted customer service, they told us to just shave it ourselves. They said it’s caused by washing the jacket (with proper Arcteryx instructions) and wear & tear - so anpparently pilling is normal for all of their jackets except their old jackets. After the in-store associate helped us shaved it, it was still very visible. What a shame that the quality of Arcteryx has gone down so much. There are other stores that have completely replaced jackets/clothing for us, no questions asked. I’m rather shocked that after spending several thousands of dollars at their store, we were just told to shave the jacket and that it’s supposed to be like that.

Very disappointed with my recent Arc'teryx purchase. I bought the Men's Atom hoody in a size small (I'm 5'7", 140 lbs) and it's disappointing compared to my Wife's Atom hoody from 5 years ago (named the Atom LT hoody at the time). I noticed instantly the material felt thinner and cheaper. The fit of the new Atom is also very boxy and I would not consider it "fitted" at all. I have an older Beta shell in size XS which I find can be tight in some spots so I ordered the Atom in size S, which turned out to be quite roomy. I definitely could have fit an XS and it still probably wouldn't be "fitted". The fit of Arc'teryx overall seems to have become boxier which is quite disappointing. I used to be a big fan of Arc'teryx gear but will have to reconsider ordering any more gear from them due to their decline in quality, unpredictable sizing and fit, and poor customer service.

I bought the Atom hoody on Jan 2024 primarily for daily use. However, the fabric quality has degraded since then. For the amount paid, the product quality is bad.

The Atom Hoody is perfect for daily wear, particularly in Metro Vancouver. It fits well and is packable. The jacket provides just the right amount of insulation for cold and chilly days, and it effectively blocks the sun and strong winds. This is an automatic recommendation for anyone looking to try an Arc'teryx jacket. Overall, it's an excellent choice for everyday use.

Received my jacket 1,5 weeks ago and worn it only once, for 5 min, in my car. The lower backside of the fabric is damaged en looks like it is about to break. I can’t believe how bad the quality is for the price this jacket costs. I own several jackets from RAB and this never happened. Not even after years of using them. I contacted the customer service so let’s see what there reply will be. For the record, the jacket is 1,5 weeks old, and worn only once!

I own many Arcteryx pieces, including two Atom Hoodys and one Atom Jacket, all of which are older versions (pre-2020). I purchased my first piece in 2012...an Atom jacket, size XL, which feels just as incredible as the day I tried it on. The amazing quality and fit has left a lasting impression. Fast forward 12 years later and the story is much different. I tried on the 2024 version at my local outdoor store and immediately noticed the shiny finish of the material which makes the jacket look and feel cheaper than the older version. The fit is very baggy around the waist and length is noticeably and unnecessarily longer. It's intended use is as a midlayer or standalone light jacket but it's cut like a parka. I've grown to be loyal to the brand but my recent observations leave me thinking that I'll be hanging onto my older pieces as long as possible and will seek out other brands if the trend continues.

I've had the green version of the Atom LT for about a year now, and I can't begin to tell you how perfectly versatile it is... I've worn it layered for Teton winters, day in, day out. I wear it at work as a first responder and on the airport flightline. I've worn it traveling to Europe in winter and spring. It often doubles as a blanket when the real thing isn't available. It is form-fitting, but not snug, so it is ALWAYS comfortable no matter what. I've had three complete strangers, MEN, approach me and tell me how good-looking the jacket and color are. (Are you listening, Arc'teryx??) I love this jacket so much I ordered this one in Sapphire Black (i.e. Navy Blue), and other than its sharp-looking stylish color, it is an exact match to my green one.

Meine zweite Atom Jacke und trotz einiger Änderungen, bin ich auch mit der neuen Version super zufrieden. Ich möchte die Unterschiede zwischen meinem alten Atom Modell und der neuen hier vorstellen. Neuer Schnitt: Ja, die Jacke ist minimal weiter geworden. Aber wirklich nur minimal. Sie sitzt immer noch körperbetont und lässt Platz für Schichten darunter. Meine alte Atom (ca 6 Jahre alt) ist im Bauchbereich noch etwas enger. Für mich ist der neue Schnitt sogar besser, da auch mein Bauch in den letzten Jahren etwas an Umfang zugelegt hat (immer noch sportliche Figur aber nicht mehr ganz so skinny). Neues Material außen: Ja, das neue Aussenmaterial fühlt sich etwas härter an. Meine alte ist außen supersoft, aber auch super empfindlich (Dornen, Funken etc). Hier ist die neue sicher robuster. Auch die Füllung fühlt sich etwas anders an, aber das wird sich nach einigen Wäschen und viel Bewegung drin sicher auch noch ändern. Wärmeleistung: Ich meine die neue ist noch etwas wärmer als meine alte. In jedem Fall sehr windbeständig, trotz der eher atmungsaktiven Stoff- Steifen unter den Armen. Regenbeständigkeit: Altes Modell: war im Nu pitschnass. Die neue hält Regen zumindest einige Zeit deutlich besser ab. Wenngleich ich die Jacke bei richtigem Regen immer mit einer Shell Jacke kombinieren würde. Tragegefühl: Super angenehm, kuschelig und warm. Armbündchen sind super soft. Kapuze passt gut, Gummizüge an Bund unten und Kapuze sind super. Fazit: Ich empfehle auch das neue Modell.
