Unacceptable pilling

1 year ago

I’ve had the Kyanite Hoody for 6 weeks now. The pilling is already out of control and I haven’t even used this for any outdoor activities yet. Just wearing around the house. If this happened after a year of constant use I’d understand but this is unacceptable at this price.

Great hoody but pills easily

1 year ago

This hoody is a mixed bag. On one hand it is certainly warm and great for hiking outdoors in cold temps. It fits good and is comfortable. The negatives are that it pills really badly. On the second time wearing it started to pill and after wearing it while on holiday for a week it is now all over. Really disappointing considering the price. I would expect it maybe with wearing a backpack against it but this was often just with a jacket over it so hard to understand how it can get so worn so quickly. I still rate the hoody as great for outdoors and warmth to weight ratio but would not buy another one from this range until the issue with pilling is addressed.

Comfortable warmth for activity & everyday

1 year ago

I love wearing my Kyanite hoody when I am active and it is going to be chilly. My Kyanite is warm, stretchy, versatile, comfortable and looks good. I love wearing this as a mid-layer when snowboarding under a shell on days that are down to -10. The fleece gives sufficient warmth to trap heat and it is flexible that gives me the freedom to more. The fit hugs me well and I feel like it is a warm extension of my base layer. I will also use put on the hood as my balaclava under my helmet if I'm finding a bit cold and I'm already boarding. This also acts as a great transitions piece. When you change from harsh climates to indoors can be jarring but this piece is great. I love wearing this when I have to go in to grab a bite after boarding. Also, I wear this piece in the car driving to mountain (Mount St. Louis for me). I got my wife wearing this piece as well and she is obsessed with it too. We will be often wearing these pieces together. We are all both confident and feel good when we are wearing it.

Terrible Pilling

1 year ago

Jacket started pilling immediately during first use. Just got worse from there. Otherwise would have been a nice jacket. Had to return.

Previous version was better

1 year ago

I preferred older model, where the pocket zipper war sewn in. The new, glued zipper is too stiff for my comfort. And I feel bad with this change because it used to be my favourite blouse model and I'm slowly running out of my copies.

Great movements and design

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a lightweight layer for xc skiing and couldn’t be more satisfied. The panel construction lends very well to movement, the insulation is perfect for a mild winter day, and a fashion forward design on top of it.

Bad design

2 years ago

I bought this a few weaks ago. The new fit is not nice. It’s now a kind a kind of baggy jacket. The old model fitted better and is still verry practical. When you are out and about, it is more pleasent to have a body-fitting jacket. When you put things in the pockets, its annoying that they keep tapping against yoy body. Moreover, the fit of the jacket does not look good. I believe that the new model is a huge miss. The new model is not practical for outdoor use. I will not by thiss jacket again. If the model is good and well thought it should be kept that way

Baggy fit, no chest pocket.

1 year ago

It's hard to find a Polartech Powerstretch fabric jacket in 2024. The material offers a nice balance between wind resistance, breathability, and warmth (grid fleeces are far more breathable, but a shell is often needed). The fit however... it's not at all fitted, so it wears like a loose box, unlike the fit of most other brands; size L in the length and shoulders, XL in the body. Also, no chest pocket.

Warm and well made fleece

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for fall and winter and was not disappointed. It's tight without being particularly heavy and it's one of the coziest pieces of clothing I've ever worn. Incredibly soft. It is, of course, perfect as a midlayer, but it also works as an outer layer if it is not too cold. It blocks the wind better than I thought. Despite this, it breathes well and dries quickly. The hood fits tight, is very stretchy and fits under a helmet. Not the cheapest fleece but it should last a long time. Highly recommended!

Totally love the non athletic cut….

2 years ago

I purchased this as a fleece that wouldn’t show as much cat hair as a typical fleece. The fleece is on the inside and smooth surface on the outside. I’m totally in the whole Arc’teryx team too. Third coat and definitely a nice layer. If you only have hairless cats or dogs you could be happy with other options at a cheaper price. I just think that you should always buy the best one first. Also Arcteryx stores will wash and reseal coats for free! Plus lifetime warranty!
