Arc'teryx  Contenta Sleeveless Top - Women's

BUY IT NOW. I spent too long debating when this top was on sale originally if I should get one or two and I decided on one but I was wrong. I should have purchased two. I am outdoors a lot, and have an active lifestyle. I do not workout but I have a toddler and I teach kindergarten so I guess you could say that is it's own kind of marathon. I don't have time to fold my clothing nicely or change when I am switching activities or be dainty when i have 25 five year olds buzzing around me all day learning and doing their five year old thing. This top is light and thin but not at the cost of durability. It's an investment but I am about to buy another one (unfortunately via another retailer because my size is no longer available in black because I waited too long) because I feel like through the use I have gotten out of it so far and how it has held up this will be a lifelong piece in my wardrobe.

I love the cut of this shirt and the material. I always wear a small in tank tops, and this is no exception. However, I ordered the dimma color. It arrived and it is nearly black. Much darker than it appears on my screen. If I wanted something that dark, I would have ordered black. I actually don't understand the theory behind the dimma. It is so dark, but it looks bad if you wear it with black. But it's not black. But it would hold the heat like black would. Hmmmm. I wish there were better color choices, like red or bright blue or green. The peach is too pale for my skin tone and I don't want the white shade. Great shirt, just inappropriate color options for me.

I purchased two of the previous styles (without pockets) in small and the fit was great. I tried ordering the new style and it is HUGE on the waist. I ordered a Small and it looks like it’s meant for a large person. The new cut is horrible. I wish they would still sell the old one. This new one you can’t even take in because of the pocket. Why did they think that “small” ppl would be so wide at the waist that I can’t even make it look good tucked in. Horrible new design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own two of these tanks and wear them all the time. They are very lightweight and move nicely. The neckline is flattering for smaller chested women (I'm 34A, size small is perfect), with the rest of the shirt falling loose around the belly - not a clingy or close fit. It's a great length, falls below the waist. It works well as a casual tank, but can easily be dressed up a bit for a night out. Highly recommended!

I love the brand Arc'teryx. This was a great find on sale. I usually wear 8-10 Med and read the reviews online before ordering. The fit was perfect. I'm 5'3" and the top's length was mid-hip. No gapping armholes. I like the crew neckline. Can be dressed up or casual. I've washed in machine on cold gentle and hung to dry. I wish it came in other colors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the style of the top as it gives good coverage. It also dries quickly, which is great fro traveling. Bustier women might find this top a little snug around the chest or with a little too much gap around the armholes to accommodate the chest. A size up might work better, but I don't know if the armholes would sit OK.

This top was surprisingly large, and I don’t mean flowy. This top is huge all around. I ordered my usual size, and I could go down 1-2 sizes. It’s very unflattering, but I love the lightweight material, so I will probably order again in multiple sizes. For reference I’m 5’6, 138 pounds and an 36C and went with a medium.

I liked this top and ended up buying it in two colors. I sized down for a more tailored fit. The fabric is airy and light, great for hot weather. I use it as an active top, but it can also be easily dressed up. I did not realize it had a picket when I ordered it, so it was a nice surprise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 5 of these - all colors - and they were my uniform during our hotter than usual summer. The fabric is airy, the cut is generous, quality stitching and details, and you can wash and line dry or dryer - either way no wrinkles! Now in fall, I'm still wearing under sweaters & hoodies.

I think this is a well designed a-line airy summer top that could also be worn under a cardigan. I think I will wear it hiking in a lighter color and biking, traveling, and around down in a darker color. I recommend sizing one size down for a fit similar to the model shown.
