Big puffy vest vibes
Been on the hunt for a down vest especially one with reasonably large baffles for a while. The purple colourway was what ultimately convinced me. Super versatile layer for around town or as my warm layer in my pack for lunch stops during ski tours on the islands. I wear a Large at 181cm tall, 75kg and it gives me the space to have a couple layers under if necessary.
Big & lightweight
175cm, 80kg, 107cm chest, slim waist (31"), athletic build, Norwegian. Been using L in several Arcteryx tops/jackets previously. This vest was wayy too large in L. Would probably accomodate a 112-115cm chest (incl. baselayer and thin/moderate midlayer), and a 34-35" waist. Don't know why sizes get bigger, maybe to target a different audience - not the typical outdoor/mountain people anymore... Got the M size, which was the right size for me including baselayer+midlayer. Front zipper is tiny and simple, so be really careful with it. Neither the front zipper or the hem-adjusters can be operated with gloves. Lightweight, packable vest. Feels a bit thinner/less substantial than it looks in the pictures. Decent warmth for its weight.
Too small!
I've been wearing Arc'teryx for years. Lots and lots - Alpha SV (two), Beta AR, Beta LT, Atom LT vests (two), Gammas, Coverts, Deltas, etc etc. And a size Medium is perfect. Always perfect. Tried on a L Cerium vest in the Piccadilly London store when I was passing. Too big, so ordered a Cerium vest Medium from Arc'teryx online, expecting it to be as perfect as all the other products I've had for years. Well, it's v tight everywhere. And a Large was too big everywhere. What has Arc'teryx done to its sizing? I can wear the Cerium vest over, say, a Delta thin fleece, but if I add another layer the vest is very tight indeed. Switch to an Atom LT vest size M and the Atom is perfect over one, two or even three layers, as it should be. For once, disappointed in an Arc'teryx product.

Best Vest
Ive tried almost every vest out there, this my favorite. The fit is trim, no slack in the back. Every vest, even those that claim to be trim fitting, have a ton of slack in the back. I will never be fat, so I have never bought one until now. Other reviewers have complained about the shoulders being higher and they are but this also provides the range of motion I need that I could not find in other vests. It is very warm, especially for its weight, I cannot wear it in temps above 60 American without overheating. The updated zipper is solid but not as good as the proton or atom. The collar provides a lot of warmth to the entire neck, fits great, and folds down perfectly when not needed. Pockets are oversized and comfortable and the entire things compresses down smaller than a softball. The eden color is a little darker than the website, I think it is stunning.
My favorite piece of cold weather gear.
The Cerium Vest is my go-to piece for cold weather. I have had one vest for 4 years and just purchased another so that I have a new color. The first one is still going strong which is a testimony to the durability of this vest since I wear it every day in cold and dry weather here in Michigan and traveling the US. Looks great and works to keep me warm worn over a fleece or flannel or under a shell. Uber-packable!
Ultra packable and essential warm piece
This is a piece which is essential in my Backpack, it is ultra light and packable and perfect for wearing on top of all layers for summit waits, colder than expected days and also for dinner in the evening. I like the look and the fit, and the best part is definitely the little bag that comes with it in the chest pocket, so you can always pack it away and it's super tiny. A piece that I was wearing all winter!
Fits baggy around the lower back
I ordered online, size M. My stats: chest 102cm. waist 82cm. I will return it because it generally has a weird fit arund the lower back, quite baggy. While supposedly the vest is fitted. I own the thorium jacket, trino jacket, which both fit excellent. Even though Thorium is described as regular fit, its much better, and I still can layer below.
Nice light great fit
Nice light weight and fits great! I've tried many down vests and most of them a L was too small and XL was too large. This fits great with no gaps. I'd say trip fit for athletic body type not skinny. I was not sold on vests till I tried this one. An improvement would be an interior pocket but the large outside pockets are great.
Great jacket, less than great zip
Bought this last week. Main body of gilet is very warm (rate 4 / 5) but, at this price point, I'd expect Artteryx to have a decent, long-lasting metal zip (and one that unzips at bottom) rather than the cheap one it has currently. Changing that would be a quick win with a big gain in CX for minimal investment!

Looks nice but too small
I have many Arc’teryx jackets and shell jackets but this is the first time I’ve purchased my usual size and even based on their updated size chart did not fit. It was way too tight. I wear a large in all my Arc’teryx gear and it seems that new sizing fit more like a medium. I’m 5’11” 185lbs for reference.
