It’s the hood included in each Arc’teryx jacket, meant to be compatible with every helmet there is. Well, this is a no-brainer at this point, especially with how Arc’teryx makes sure every single one of its jackets has this feature.Īnd this feature is its trademark StormHood! Since they’re technically an extra piece of material, they give you more room for movement, which is perfect given how much action your arms needed to be doing while skiing! Those are gussets! And these bad boys are what’s letting you move around so much WITHOUT ripping your sleeves apart! Speaking of arms, if you raise them up, check out your ‘pits while wearing your jacket. The elbows on the sleeves have a distinct outline meant to accommodate your elbows to the T, all while being loose enough to allow you freedom in moving your arms around!

You probably won’t notice it right away, but there are a couple of details Arc’teryx designed to have its wearer have full mobility in its jackets. Still, that’s a fair trade to keep you warm when you find yourself in a pile of snow, right? However, if you compare it to the down insulation, the warmth this gives off would feel like it’s lacking. Meanwhile, synthetic insulation doesn’t have that issue! If anything, it THRIVES from the cold wetness when it gets even warmer the longer it’s damp! Because if you get it wet, then there’s no toasty warmth for you, only awful hypothermia. That is, as long as you don’t get it wet. The down insulation consists of feathers gathered from birds (most preferably, geese), that’s why jackets that have this kind of insulation look “bulky”.īut it makes a swell job keeping you nice and toasty!
If you don’t know much about jacket insulations, these are what keep you warm while you’re out in the cold.Īnd there are two types of these insulations: down insulation and, as mentioned earlier, synthetic insulation. Other than Atom AR’s Permeair feature, what these two Atoms have in common is they’re both using synthetic insulation. You’ll understand why once you keep reading the following parts.
Yes, even though the LT is a trim fit, you can still have it as a layer in the middle of the other jackets you’re going to wear.Īnd not only that, but you could also have both of them handle the cold all by themselves! The Atom LT has a trim fit, while the AR is a regular one.īut it’s worth mention that they can both be used as a middle layer!
I'm going to be wearing it for urban use so not going into the great outdoors or doing any physical activity with it but I like Arcteryx stuff because they're typically built to handle alot of different elements and though I'll just be in the city I'm a pedestrian and it can get windy, rainy, slushy/icy etc.So, it was mentioned earlier how both of these Atom options have different fits. So the Canadian Arcteryx online store finally restocked the Atom AR and I've been considering it as I have two cold season jackets: Uniqlo ultra light down which is similar to the Cerium more or less and that works for me in single digit temperatures maybe even down to 0 or a touch below and I have my Thorsen which is on the more extreme side and can handle -20 and such.
