Hood is way too large and has no way to cinch it..

I like the lightweight fabric, but the fit is very strange. I'm 5'4" 150lbs, and I ordered an XL because I'm pudgy around the middle, and I wanted the option to wear a thick baselayer underneath. The jacket fit is a little loose like I wanted, but the hood is comically large, and there are not drawstrings or way to cinch it. I busted out laughing when I saw myself in the mirror with this HUGE hood. Note to Arc'teryx - just because a woman has a few extra pounds in the middle does not mean she has a bowling-ball-sized head... I ended up getting the older model Kyanite AR hoodie (item #117259) in a Large, and it fits great. I wish the hood had a cinch, but at least it's reasonably-sized. It appears Arc'teryx redesigned their hoodies in the last few years, and the reviews I have seen indicate the new hoodies are too long in the back, the sleeves are too long, and the hoods are too big.

Loved the color, loved how it was so light weight, but: One) the sleeves were too long. Two) it got wrinkles all over, specially some were very Noticeable on the crease of the elbows, saw the pictures I took on a hike, and had to return it

Smaller than previous models!

2 years ago

This is my favorite hoodie for Spring and Fall when the temps can be cool early and late in the day. I can golf if this and have full freedom of movement. The brushed fleece inside is so smooth and soft on the skin. However, this 2023 year model is sized MUCH smaller than previous years. I am replacing a 2019 version in size L (I am normally a M and sized up for my preferred fit). I ordered online assuming a L would be the same but it is not. I wish I had ordered an XL. I understand the slim fit description but this is simply not at all comparable to my original size L. I recommend you try it on before committing to your size.

Runs large!

3 years ago

I have (and adore) two Arcteryx Kyanite AR hoodies, a Delta LT hoody and a Delta LT jacket, all in size S, all of which have the same fit and sizing. I ordered this in the same size, and it is the same fit, but it's at least a full size bigger. FYI, the fabric is quite thin (thinner than the Delta). I bought it hoping it would serve the same purpose as my Delta, but with a tougher outer skin. Size aside, it's too thin for my needs, so I'm returning it. The 4 stars are for being well-made if it's the kind of fabric/fit you want.

I love this hoodie!

3 years ago

This is a fantastic hoodie. Fitted but not too tight, material is comfortable and breathable, and I love the longer sleeves and two big zippered pockets. Plus it doesn't really get smelly - even after a week of daily wear. I have 3 and basically lived in them for the past year while traveling around the US - most days were spent outside with many outdoor activities, and all 3 still look good as new!

Great Functional Hoodie

3 years ago

I keep buying this style and is one of the most used piece all year around, travel , city walks, winter layer etc….. I do love the cobalt color. It looks great. It is really light weight which makes it a winner vs other brands. As per sizing I got the Xl and am a regular 18. So smaller sizes keep that in mind it maybe slightly larger…For me XL was a nice fit. I will buy a 2 nd one reserve since these sell fast…..thanks.

Really nice jacket

1 year ago

I looked at this jacket for a good month before I finally pushed the purchase button due to the price. I love the color, it’s exactly the color in the photo by the way - soft pink. The fabric is very light and soft and comfortable on the skin, so they really got that right. I got it for paddle tennis in the cooler nights and it’s worked so far and I even got a couple of compliments on it. While I like this jacket and would say the quality is quite good, I’d agree with some of the other reviewers that it’s likely more money than it’s worth by about 50 bucks. But if you love it, what the heck, get it and you’ll really like it.

SUPER COMFY

4 years ago

I decided to buy this jacket on a whim. Wanted to see what the hype was all about, and boy was it true!!! SUPER COMFY lightweight jacket! Perfect to throw on when running errands, after a workout, or just when it’s a little chilly out. I live in California and it’s pretty hot most of the time, but its nice to have on the chilly nights/mornings. I also love the fact this jacket is super light weight, extremely comfortable, zippered pockets are a plus to stash my phone and money... and the fit is spectacular!!! Very flattering!! I was debating on what size to get. I’m 5’3 and about 145 lbs, a bit curvy and athletic. I’m usually between a small and medium but I got a small and it’s perfect! It’s snug but roomy enough to not feel constricted (at all). Needless to say, I ordered another one in the “synapse” color so I can rotate them. Can’t wait to see what new colors will come out. I’ll definitely be purchasing more!! Also it’s amazing quality, and lots of stretch... Loveeee it!!!

Comfortable fit but...

5 years ago

I really love the way this fits and how comfortable the material is. I find it helps keep me a comfortable temperature when a bit chilly out. I am disappointed that the threads are unraveling at the cuff after only about a month of gentle wearing (mostly around house and out in the cooler mornings), and it has not even been washed. I am nervous to wear this rock climbing which I was hoping to be able to do but I think it may get holes easily where it is unraveling. I did expect better durability. I am fearful to ever wash this item. I wouldn't buy another one, and would have given this item 5 stars if it was more durable.

Yes , I recommend this product
