Great for high output activities
5 months ago
This is my favorite piece for anything from layering to stand alone jacket for cross country skiing, touring, or snowboarding. The best attribute why I bought a second jacket is that it vents sweat at the same time it is warm. I wish Arcteryx made it in better colours than white and black. And please, no pink or other sweet colours either, is my wish. I am wondering if the next line can be in green.

Best ski touring midlayer

Awesome as a winter active midlayer. You stay warm but don't get sweaty in it.

Tasche troppo piccole, perché?
7 months ago
Prodotto leggero e caldo. Veste bene.
Cappuccio meno ampio rispetto ad altri modelli, per questo non comodissimo ma la cosa peggiore sono le tasche laterali: assolutamente troppo piccole/corte ci si può infilare neanche la mano!

Good not great
11 months ago
I purchased this about a month ago and have been wearing it regularly for walks, hikes and general day to day activities. I haven’t don’t anything crazy with it or taken it on any trips. I’m giving it three stars because the functionality of this jacket is one of the best I’ve ever had from Arc’teryx. It’s lightweight but heavy enough to provide warmth on cooler days and breathes very well through activities or on warmer days. I love how light it feels overall, it’s got to be one of my favourites.
The unfortunate issue with this jacket is quality. I’m the short amount of time I’ve had it, it has already started pilling on the cuffs and sleeves and has some small tears forming on the front near the zipper. I haven't worn this on any activity that might rub against the front so I’m not sure where this came from. I purchased the green colour which is very nice but also shows water marks etc that don’t go away, so it ends up looking not the best. For the cost, the quality of this is super disappointing which sucks because otherwise it’s a great piece!
No, I do not recommend this product.

So versatile, a definite wardrobe staple
11 months ago
I love this jacket and it’s one of my most worn items. The octa-loft lining is so soft and doesn’t wet out, and it’s pretty breathable while still being warm enough to wear without a fleece in spring/summer/autumn unless you’re sitting still for ages. You can get away with wearing it instead of a windbreaker in slightly warmer weather while static - obviously it gets too warm at high output. I’ve worn it climbing on granite and it has held up pretty well, only a few tiny snags, no tears. Range of motion is great. It’s also really nice for hiking and casual use and the build quality means it’s sleek looking enough to not scream “athleisure”, so doesn’t look out of place wearing it to work.
I’ve avoided wearing it indoor climbing when the gym is freezing in winter because it’s not quite fitted enough around the torso to wear under a harness without a thick fleece, and the bulk from the 3 heavy duty zippers means it’s a bit front heavy at the bottom and will catch on holds even with the waist cord cinched in. If Arc’teryx made a quarter-zip version with a slightly slimmer fit and no hand pockets, I would buy it in a heartbeat just to use for the gym or to reduce bulk wearing it as a midlayer. It’s an attractive jacket as is, but would be more flattering if it was a bit more fitted.
That being said, I would pick up a second one in another colour if it’s ever made in Vitality or Daybreak.

Rips easily!!! Not Buying Arcteryx Anymore!!!
a year ago
My wife and I have 12 Arcteryx jackets/hoodies altogether. Since the weather's becoming warmer, I decided to wash my wife's Proton and Atom because Arcteryx Kitsilano doesn't techwash non Gore-tex and Down jackets/hoodies. Please note that we are very meticulous when it comes to pricey clothing so we make it a point to use Laundry mesh bags when washing and our washer is front load.
After washing, to my surprise, I noticed a rip on my wife's Proton!!! We don't go outdoors and we only use our hoodies casually around the city and whatnot. So I thought about visiting the Kitsilano Store to hopefully get a warranty since it wasn't any damage that we caused. But no, when I went to the Re-care section of the store, the guy who I dealt with, didn't really want to do anything about my case. No genuine concern that was shown. He doesn't even smile. Not sure if he's having a bad day, or he doesn't like his job.
When I told him my story, he just said, "I can't do anything about it but to patch it, it's not a performance jacket and it's a wear & tear issue." To be honest, my wife has 6 Arcteryx outerwear in rotation combined with other brands and she did not use it for any outdoor activities (climbing, trekking...etc.). The production date on the care label is 03/22 and it hasn't seen much action. Then I just washed it carefully and it rips???
Not much help was offered and no customer service at all - doesn't really appeal to me. Honestly, the patch is an eye sore! I would accept the guy's solution if I have caused the issue, however I'm sure I didn't. Arcteryx should stand by their pricey products and should choose their employees better. We are not buying from Arctery anymore. Just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
Q: Cons:
A: Pricey and Easily Rips
Q: Activity
A: City strolls, Casual
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi Arc’teryx ! Same issue! These coats are not durable at all it’s a huge disappointment, you should stand behind your product and warranty them! This isn’t wear and tear it’s poor quality I have the same issue and see it across your reviews. The proton coat is poorly made and the fabric literally disintegrates. Buyer beware. These coats need to be revised and you should be honouring your warranty for those who choose to spend the money and support your brand. I didn’t spend $400 for a coat to not make it two years of very casual wear.

Very versatile
a year ago
This may be my most versatile piece. I typically wear it ski touring on the uphill in -15 C to 0 C. It’s great for high output activities and is extremely durable and breathable for an insulated layer. On days at the ski resort, I’ll throw this on underneath my shell for added warmth.

This jacket could be super awesome if there is no word on the hood. I think it's super tacky! I actually use black dye pen to hide the word A'rcteryx on all my A'rcteryx jackets.
