collar too high and tight

7 months ago
I find your vests in general have a very high and narrow collar. My old (maybe 7+ yrs) Atom vest was perfect.

WHAT is with the collar??

9 months ago
I have this vest and the proton, and the proton wins BIG TIME. This vest — main complaint is the collar. I have no idea why it has to be so tall and so wide. It’s annoying because it nearly covers my mouth, so it’s hard to talk to people if I’m wearing it for everyday wear, and it looks ridiculous to be that high. I try to fold it down a lot but it doesn’t stay down. It’s also a very wide neck that extends forwards — again, why on earth? Someone might say the height is for warmth, but the fact that it gapes in the front due to the width cancels this out. The proton, in contrast, has a normal-sized neck (so much better) and the proton lining is softer. It’s also a slightly warmer vest at rest, even though it’s barely thicker than this one if not equal in weight. The chest pocket of the proton is also amazing, as it fits my phone. Hands down a better vest than this one.

Best in Class

10 months ago
This is my second atom vest and it is a go to item for me in the fall, spring and as a layering item in the winter. The lightweight insulation provides just enough core warmth under a puffy in the winter and takes the chill off in the spring and fall. The vest packs small, dries quickly and has very few catchment points when wearing a harness, backpack or other layers. Also works well as an everyday vest in the cooler months. The pockets are ample and zip closed.

Poor quality fabric

a year ago
After wearing for 1 season, the back outer fabric is damaged: puckering and pilling. Simply from wearing a backpack to and from campus. This should not happen. It’s a 2020 model in the beautiful blue color, which is not replaceable. I’d love to get it warrantied but the current colors are unimaginative.

Versatile piece -- I wear it everywhere!

a year ago
I never really considered myself a vest person until I tried the Atom Vest. I tend to run quite warm during high-output activities, and this vest is the perfect midlayer for me, whether I'm cycling, skiing, or just hanging out. I appreciate the sleek look of the Black color. The collar is a bit tall, but I don't mind it; it offers extra protection when I need my midlayer to keep me warm.

Fits larger than it should - size down.

a year ago
Bought this for daily wear as well as another layer for my outdoor activities, and found that while the quality seems to be what I'd expect, the fit is really off. I found that compared to my other Arc'teryx tops/jackets that this runs large. I wish that I would have sized down to a small! I wear a medium in all other styles, but this is gigantic. Wish I had not removed tags and worn it a bit before noticing how much bigger it was than expected. Nice for a light vest layer, but size a full size down at least. Boxy, large.

What happened?

a year ago
I’ve had two other iterations of this vest from years past but lost mine and snagged a new one this season. I was super confused when I tried it on. Not only is it way less soft than the old one- almost a plasticky, crinkly feel- but it is HUGE. I double checked the tags to make sure I’d gotten a women’s because it was such a noticeable difference. Not only that but it’s a solid 2” longer than the old one so it’s almost a tunic on my 5’3” frame instead of hip length. I bought it on prodeal and am super kicking myself as I can’t return it.
Q: Your Height:

That’s so true, , agree with this review. As another person that is closed to the reviewer’s height, why did Arcteryx mess up the on these current Atom models so much. I used to LOVED the feminine fit that the older style offered (thinking of pre 2020 designs). They were fitted on the waist and not long torso so it complimented well to a short person’s frame. I missed those models

Warm and lightweight layer

a year ago
I like the Atom vest as an extra layer for hiking and camping. It's lightweight and adds a bit of insulation without overheating. However, while the fit says "fitted", I find that it runs large so I wish that I had sized down. As other reviews have mentioned, the collar is really high, so I usually wear it unzipped a bit.
Q: Pros:
A: Lightweight, comfortable
Q: Cons:
A: The collar is a bit too high

Definitely a Different Design

2 years ago
The Atom Vest has been a staple of mine for over 12 years and I have purchased at least 3 of them after I have worn them to a nub. When I bought this revised vest I thought I would like the higher collar, but it is too high. It really comes up to my mouth, so only does it look unstylish, but also not functional. I also, am not sure I like to longer length, but I'm also only 5'1", so I'm guessing most people would like this change. All in all, it is still a great vest, but I wish they would find a compromise on the collar length and also the length of the vest. I use to buy XS, but with this new design and revised sizing I had to exchange for an XXS.
Q: Pros:
A: Great insulating piece, layers well
Q: Cons:
A: High collar
Q: Activity
A: Mountain biking, hiking, trail running, X-skiing, snowshoeing,
Q: Your Height:
A: 5'1"

No, I do not recommend this product.

Runs large

2 years ago
I used the sizing chart to order my size. I ordered large and it runs large. It’s perfect size to wear over bulky sweatshirts but I’m looking to layer over base layer and under a shell so I need a medium. From sizes under medium each size goes up 2 inches to the next size. Medium to large goes up 3 inches. For reference I’m 38B, or 36C. 165 lbs, size 8/10. I’m a size medium in most tops.
Q: Pros:
A: Great vest
Q: Cons:
A: Runs large from size chart
Q: Activity
A: Hiking, skiing, biking

Yes, I recommend this product.

Moonlit blue color has contrasting collar

2 years ago
So disappointed this blue doesn't continue inside. Some may like the contrasting collar look, but I wanted all blue. I have two black ones, and they're 100% black inside. There are no pictures on the website showing it partly unzipped, which is how many of us will wear it. Sending it back.
Q: Pros:
A: beautiful material and shape
Q: Cons:
A: has unwanted contrasting collar
Q: Activity
A: walking, gym training

Don't love the revised

2 years ago
I had the previous version and wore it nearly everyday. I lost it at an airport and I was devistated! My husband bought me a replacement and I wanted to love it but like others have said the collar is weird big and it feel longer in the torso.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Collar too tall, stiff, and gaping

2 years ago
I really dislike the new redesign because the collar is too tall, stiff, and gaping, and therefore not functional for activities like running (the top of the collar was constantly grazing the front of my chin.) It seems like this design choice was made solely for aesthetic reasons, since the men's vest doesn't feature a strange gaping collar like this. Returned promptly, but wish that Arc'teryx carried a lightweight insulated vest for women with a functional collar.
Q: Activity
A: Running

No, I do not recommend this product.

A: light, nice color
Q: Cons:
A: baggy fit
Q: Activity
A: all around, skiing, climbing, hiking

No, I do not recommend this product.

Another favourite garment

2 years ago
I own the "old" atom vest, and as I wore it 300 from 365 days I decided to order a second one in another colour. Yes, this one is different with the high collar, in the beginning I was irritated but the collar adapted soon to my neck - and I don't have to wear a scarf for cycling now. It fits slightly larger than the old one. As it touches the skin on the neck I think I will have to wash it more frequently, I hope it will survive long.
Q: Activity
A: Cycling, hiking, running

Yes, I recommend this product.

New sizing is larger!

2 years ago
I own a previous model of this vest and I absolutely love it, so much that it is beginning to show wear and i figured it was time to buy another one as backup since i often wear this vest in a professional setting. I prefer the collar length of the previous model, especially when wearing this vest as a casual piece and not zipped up.
Q: Pros:
A: warm, roomy
Q: Cons:
A: not a fan of the longer collar
Q: Activity
A: casual wear or as a mid layer

Yes, I recommend this product.

Please bring back the low collar!

I just ordered the revised Atom vest because I love and wear my older Atom LT vest for most of the year and wanted a second one. However, I am returning the recently purchased revised Atom vest. The quality and fit are wonderful but I do not like the floppy tall collar.
Q: Pros:
A: material, fit
Q: Cons:
A: collar is floppy and too tall

No, I do not recommend this product.

I agree 100% - the longer body length is great, but the massive collar no longer zips up snugly under my chin and I can only wear the collar open. Bring back the low collar.

Atom Vest Women's

If you want the warmth of an Atom Hoody with a wider range of motion and smaller footprint, you’re in the right place. Pull on the Atom Vest when you feel the temperature dropping on longer hikes and climbs or wear it as a midlayer under a shell for touring and wet winter objectives. The Coreloft synthetic insulation stays warm even if you run into light weather, making it a better alternative to down for high-output days year round.

What's been updated: Updated with a new FC0 material; the side panels and lining are now made with a recycled material as well. A new regular fit, with a slightly lower collar, makes layering easier.

Atom

Versatile synthetic insulated mid layers with a high degree of weather resistance.
