Chaqueta Atom Hombre

Let me begin by saying that I'm a 200lb Asian guy, 5'9" tall, 43" chest, 16" arms (measured around the biceps), 37" waist, 43" hips, and I ordered the size L (large) which fits me perfectly. The arm length and body length of the jacket fits spot-on and I have absolutely nothing to complain about re: the specs of this jacket. The size M (medium), which I tried in-store, fit my body well, but the material around the arms was bunching under my armpits and made it uncomfortable to wear. If you're ever on the edge of deciding which size to go with, make sure to try on all the sizes too see what fits you best. The Atom LT is a trim-fit jacket which is indeed hip length, as advertised. The Atom LT Jacket is without a doubt one of Arc'teryx's staple items, and it is easy to see why it is so loved by people all around the world. It's extremely lightweight and easy to pack considering how warm it is - one would expect a jacket as light as this to not be as warm as it is! I've gone on long walks on cold nights and brisk mornings on the way to work and this is the perfect jacket to throw on top of a t-shirt if you gotta get out fast. With its simple silhouette and minimalistic design, it looks smart and makes you look cool if you've got it in black or grey, whether you're wearing it with joggers, sweatpants, jeans, or tactical cargo pants. It's also a great layering piece - it's real easy to throw a tougher, waterproof jacket over top of the Atom LT when the weather gets cold or it starts to rain or snow. If you're in sub-zero temperatures, definitely do not rely on the Atom LT alone, but if you're in Fall or early Spring this would be the perfect item to wear alone. I think that if there is one thing that people might complain about, it would be the pricing. At about CAD$300, it is a bit steep for such a simple jacket, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. With Arc'teryx's lifetime warranty on any and all of their products, I'm sure that this jacket will serve me every day for the rest of my life (because I know I will actually do my best to take proper care of it, and I know the company will step in if the jacket fails to perform or if there's a manufacturing defect). You only need one Atom LT in your wardrobe anyway, and the price per wear will totally justify spending that much money after a year of wearing it. I bought mine in black so that I can use it for work purposes and it's absolutely one of the most comfortable and functional jackets I have in my wardrobe. Thanks, Arc'teryx!
