Kyanite Hoody Damen

A great fleece midlayer for backpacking or skiing, I’ve had my kyanite for a few years and it is still just as plush and warm as the day I got it. I do like the newer style however as it feels a little more supple and not as tight in the arms as the model I have, but chalk it up to evolving design and my beefy arms.

This is my all time favourite sweater. It is great for adding an extra layer of warmth underneath a down jacket. Keeps me toasty after my winter swims.

I got the Kyanite as a sweater to wear around town and it is nice and cozy. The zipper works well and the material has not pilled at all going on 10+ washes. The sweater falls quite long, which is nice for extra warmth. The 4 way stretch make sit a nice jacket to take to a yoga class.

I think the new sizing runs nearly a size larger! I am 5'3 and 120 lbs and have always been a size small, or a 6 in arcteryx. I had the good fortune to be able to try this garment on in a store and found the small fit more like a medium and an XS fit perfectly. This hoody will get lots of use i am sure, whether casually or as a midlayer. I am very happy with this no frills pile hoody!

I bought two of these a week ago and wore one of them twice, once with Aerios 15 backpack.(which i love) After one wash back of the hoody fell apart :( Im not sure if it was damaged by the backpack or if the quality of it was not good but either way, Im very disappointed because i loved (love!) this hoody. Worried about wearing the other one, shame i may have to return it.

I bought this for the colder weather as part of my layers or as an outer layer on sunnier days. It is wonderfully comfortable, looks good and layers very well. The hood is comfortable under my rain shell so I don’t need a hat.

I just received my fleece. Loving it thus far. The outer pockets are spacious and the inner pockets are handy to store gloves, goggles and valuables.

It was the first Are'cery cloth I purchased. I was very surprised and loved by this hoody. It is so soft and the fleece is very warm by the chilly days.This hoody is suitable for everyday wear.

This is my all time favorite jacket! It is so soft on the inside and fits perfectly. Perfect for the Fall. Would highly recommend this product.

The fit on this hoody is perfect and the fleece on the inside is so soft. Super warm and great hand pockets.

I give a 2 stars rate … not because I don’t love this polar , not because the Color is not true the to picture ( it is what I expected) But not even after three weeks ( no washes ) the fabric is already damaged !!! At this price I was expecting better quality fabric The fit is true to the sizing chart , I am 5’4”. 120 pounds and I wear XS

I owned 2 of them from past years. My daughter just bought me another one for my birthday because I just love them too much. However, the cut is not the same fitting, the inner panel is different and it is also missing a inner pocket as you see the photo attached (left-prior years model, right-this years model)

There's nothing wrong with the current Kyanite AR per se. It's very warm for how light it is and will serve as a mid-layer when I go out climbing, or a stand-alone when in town. However, in comparison with the older version, this one is lacking. The material on this one definitely feels thinner. The interior zipped pocket is missing. What really irritates me is, with the mesh outer pocket, they could've sewn the bottom shut to make it an interior pocket, and they chose not to. Overall, a decent product. Maybe a tad expensive for fleece. Seems like they cut corners on this current version and kept it just as expensive as before.

Probably the best hoody that I have ever bought hence the four colors. Looks good, feels nice, great for layering and washes well.

Love these hoodies, so soft and warm! The colors on the website are not accurate though. The bright orange is more like pumpkin orange and the blue is more like a teal color. Hoping at some point they update website colors to be more accurate. Fits true to size. I'm 5'3" 120 lbs and order a small because I layer. However if looking for a more fitted look, I can fit the xs.

just got this hoodie and I haven't changed out of it! The fabric on this hoodie is really soft and cushy. Its insanely warm and replaced my thin puffy I wear almost everyday as a layer. I am also just wearing this around off mountain, highly recommend

Lots of negative reviews on this but to each their own. For me, this jacket has lots of great first impressions. I can’t speak on durability as I’ve only owned this jacket for a month. Yes it’s the most expensive fleece I own however I love how soft, comfortable, faltering and warm this lightweight hoody is. I wear it casually in town or walking my dog, on hikes, and as a midlayer while I’m skiing or riding at the resort . It’s soft fleece inside, pockets for cold hand and a nice fitting hood plus a high zip to cover your neck when you forget a buff… I’d totally buy this again in a different color. I haven’t owned any previous models of the kyanite so I have nothing to compare to however I am usually a small in every other brands like Patagonia but with arcteryx, my atom and cerium are in a medium as I find them to run small. I ordered this in a small and it’s perfect ! Doesn’t feel tight or loose. It’s the perfect amount of slim fit and space for a baselayer

I absolutely love the softness of this garment. It is so comfortable. However, after only 6 weeks of very light wear the fabric has begun to pill and look worn. I haven't even had a chance to wash it yet! I have not worn it for more than a few hours on about 15 days and have done nothing to abrade the fabric. This is not what I would expect from a hoody that costs $180. I would give it 4 stars for comfort but only 3 stars for the garment's durability. Time will tell.

I have the previous version of the Kyanite Hoody which I really like and wanted another in a different color but I should have paid attention to the NEW in the product description and read more carefully. The previous version has a soft, thin mesh lining in the interior front jacket that gave the jacket some structure and substance while still remaining soft. The new version lacks this and is just one layer of thin Polartec fleece. The previous version also has a small zippered interior pocket that's perfect for a key and credit card that this new version lacks. The hand pockets also now sit low on the jacket so that any heavy object, like a phone, makes the pocket droop forward and sag. In the previous version, the pocket sits higher and the mesh lining "held" the pocket in place so there wasn't this issue. Overall, rather disappointed in the new design direction. Perhaps if I didn't own the earlier version, this one might be okay. As it currently is, it feels like a basic soft fleece jacket with minimal features.

Je le porte avec le Trino pour courir l’hiver au Québec. Très confortable et chaud. 5’2” 125lbs j’ai une XS et un Small. Le Small est un peu long le XS est parfait pour porter en dessous d’une coquille

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!
