Arc'teryx  Delta LT Jacket - Women's

Bought this before a trip to Peru where I did some high elevation hiking where warm layers were needed and this little jacket was the perfect addition to my backpacking wardrobe! I layered it over short sleeve layers and it was the perfect midlayer under my outer jackets to keep me warm during the cold mornings and evenings (and at the high passes). Haven't used it a ton to be able to comment on durability over time of the waffle texture, but Arc'teryx has amazing quality so I'm sure it will stand the tests of time! The sleeves we a little long for me, but overall its a nice feminine fit and cut in the torso. Would recommend for a midlayer!

Great mid/light weight fleece. Nice shapely fit, not square/boxy. I'm 5'7" 120 # and purchased a medium. I don't like jackets to fit like a glove and like to layer so the medium is perfect, not too tight, not to loose. Great zipper pockets that lay nice and flat. The length is also just right, hits right at the top of my thigh. When I first got this I thought it might be too light-weight but the waffle design of the fabric keeps me surprisingly warm. Perfect spring/summer fleece. The Oceanus color is striking, getting lots of compliments. Will buy this fleece again in other colors.

The good: The jacket performed well and was breathable when I was active in it. I loved the fit when I first bought it- as a petite person with an athletic build (5ft, 120ish lbs) it can be difficult to find something that’s not too long and fits my shoulders but this one looked great. The bad: The sleeves started to pill quite a bit after just a couple wears. And while I loved the fit at first, after I washed it once (cold, delicate cycle and laid flat to dry) it shrunk and the lint it attracted was practically impossible to get out. I don’t mind paying for high quality products, but I have other jackets and long sleeves that cost much less and perform pretty much the same. I’m so disappointed.

I wore my first Delta jacket for two years, and just bought another one. I wear it hiking and when walking around town. It looks great, is absolutely a perfect weight and the zippers on the pockets are fantastic.

I am usually a size small, but with this piece I tried on a medium that gave me a tiny bit more room then the large. The difference between the medium and large was way more than between the small and medium. I ended up getting the large so I could put some layers underneath it. I would have gotten the medium if I knew I was just going to wear a T-shirt underneath it. Unfortunately the large is way too long in the sleeves and torso but the width was more of my concern for layering. This was true with each color I tried on. I love the soft comfy feel of this jacket. It definitely kept me warm enough in the high sierras backpacking over Labor Day weekend.

I've had this jacket for 5 years and it looks like new. I've used it a lot! It is the perfect layer piece, I've purchased other sweaters (other brands) and I always end up using the Delta LT because it is just perfect for anything. It keeps you warm and at the same time helps breathability so you never feel sweaty. I own two colours and want to get the black now as a more neutral colour. I want to get one for my Mom as well since I always end up borrowing one of mine when she visits. My husband has two of these as well and loves it. Perfect for hikes or any outdoor activity. I always were this below my winter jacket.

The Delta LT Jacket has been around for while, and while I'm overall happy with it, I wish it would get updated to a newer more modern fit (slimmer and longer) like some of the other mid layer models. It's kind of square fitting which makes it feel a bit dated. The design though is great - simple, timeless and functional. I often wear size XS in Arc'teryx product, but I got this one in size S to get 1" extra body length. I'm 157cm tall. It's a good mid layer and I would recommend it to others as long as they are not tall and skinny built - the fit is definitely better suited for shorter and wider body types.

Very practical and comfortable weight for wearing anytime you feel a bit chilly. I love wearing this, as it is light and soft surprisingly warm. My only complaint is that the zipper has no lock on it and for my usual fitted size I found the zip slipping down from my chestline to my waist when hiking. I am going to take it back and I am going to buy the next size up to get more room. Hopefully it will solve that problem! I do think though that for the price, that the zippers should stay put with the usual lock, that quality zips have!

I have been looking for a jacket like this to replace an REI jacket I have completely worn out from so much use over the years, especially for hiking and for travel. Pros: No hood to get in the way when layering; full length zipper to easily adjust to change in temperatures; perfect for a lightweight layer or to wear under a wind/rain jacket; fitted and looks nice (size L: 5'2", 128 lbs); sleeves are extra long; zippered pockets; quick dry (100% polyester).

I love this jacket. Just want to let folks know that the blue color on the web site turned out to be more of a teal/peacock color (see photo).
