I’ve now ran with this in the rain at 42 degrees and regular cold in the 30s with only a tech tshirt underneath (I run hot as a human) and it’s kept me warm. Just note that it will keep you warm while running, but if you need to stand outside in the cold afterward and talk to people for an hour, you’re going to be too cold. I.e. this jacket is perfect at regulating body temperature and keeping you comfortable WHILE running. Even when it was wet I was warm, even though it didn’t shed water like gortex would (but if it did, I suspect I’d get way too hot when running with it). It has an incredible amount of thoughtful features for runners, like a flap to check your running watch easily for pacing, insulation in all the right spots to keep wind and cold away from the top of your arms and chest, breathable back panel, and for whatever reason it is extremely soft and comfy. I own many an outdoor clothing and the fit was perfect for this jacket (other arcteryx products were a bad fit for me). For running, I simply don’t think there’s a better jacket on the market. I had to knock off a star for a lack of reflective materials though…being a runner’s jacket, you’d think arcteryx would add a reflective strip, but it’s just the bird logo on the front. Your jacket is one of the best things to keep you visible with foul weather and running.
I wore this jacket paired with the Norvan long sleeve shirt on a run on a mostly cloudy day with temperatures at -3C/37F and winds at 19km/h or 12mph. I was cold for most of the run. This jacket is minimally insulated in parts and totally uninsulated in others. The hood is a single layer of uninsulated material, despite the description on the Arc’teryx website. I will stick with my atom LT for temps below freezing but will use the Norvan for temps above that.
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Norvan Insulated Hoody. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the insulation and that it did not suit your needs. We will pass your comments to our team.

Personally this is my favourite style of jacket for cold weather running and Ski Mo. The front insulation provides warmth but I don't overheat thanks to the ventilated back panel. I also like the ventilated back panel when wearing any sort of pack to reduce sweat build up. The hood is nice but my only small gripe is that it is hard to put back in with cold hands so I usually don't bother.
The price for this minimalistic Trailrunning Jacket is impressive - but the experiences I made are impressive as well. Packing size is minimal, the jacket dries quick and withstands dew and light rain. It is definitively my first choice for my next winter runs.
I absolutely adore this jacket. It has a fantastic fit and is perfect for running. I love all the details, such as the elastic cuffs, the perforated back mesh, and the pocket that can be used as a bag.
Why is it a huge differenc between men and women Norvan insulated hoody ? Men get a thin retractable hoody while women gets a insulated one ! Its not even the same ”jacket”
