Light, comfortable and durable!
I chose this jacket to use it for daily wear, traveling and trail hike. This new Atom SL is very light compared to the previous season and I was not sure it was going to keep me warm. I must say this is one of my new favorite lights jackets for this season! Light, but really keep you warm in Spring and Fall season. I had a T-shirt underneath and kept me really warm in 10c degrees weather. Also, this jacket came with C0 DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coting and it'll keep you dry from the light rain.
Perfect weight for spring hiking!
I love the weight of the Atom SL and the bright color. It's great for spring hiking or late winter/early spring running. The material and quality are great. My only complaint is that the Women's S is a bit tight across the chest and the Women's M is a bit too loose, so it feels less flattering than some of my other Arc'teryx jackets. It fits my friend who is taller than me a bit better!
A great all around spring/summer piece
I got this in the spring and recently used it on an early summer alpine climb and it was perfect. I started the approach in it in the very early morning and wore it all day until getting off the climb in the evening. It kept me warm enough, but never too warm, and was durable enough when rubbing up against the sharp rock. I also use it casually around town and on hikes and it's light and comfortable.
Embroidery
Excellent jacket, not perfect, arms are little long, could use more elastic in the arm holes , great embroidery! Of the logo and name, it want wash a way ,,
Versatile and so good
Brilliant, super lightweight and versatile piece. Personally, I much prefer the redesign to the previous iteration. It wears really well under a harness for a cool weather climbing layer, and the cut is not restricting - plus it is stretchy where it needs to be. This is a piece that I feel everyone can find a use for. For me, it's a go-to climbing piece that I can layer under a bigger puffy or just use by itself, and then easily head to the pub or grocery store after and wear as a stand alone layer. Packs down to nothing, looks slick, and is comfortable to wear. Massive fan!!
Too thin
I just bought a Atom SL in forage. Within a week I have worn the DWR from my mantis 1 pack strap. Not a very happy customer after having the atom and atom SV for so long.

High alpine weapon
This iteration of the Atom SL is my favorite yet, and I have already used it for a variety of activities including scrambling, hiking, ski mountaineering, and even travel. That said, it is a niche piece and it's worth understanding what it is: 1. I think of this as a lightly insulated windshell. Fantastic for changing conditions, windy ridgelines, and that little bit of needed warmth while still moving or transitioning. 2. The hood is now an under-helmet fit. Some people prefer the wider storm hood, but I like this version and have tucked it under my rock/ski helmets as well as into the zipped jacket itself when I want it out of the way. 3. This is NOT your emergency puffy/warm piece, unless it's high summer. The insulation is quite light and only in the torso. To me, this is a huge advantage - I can carry something that covers a broad range of conditions, especially when paired with a Nuclei + hardshell for a full system of warmth and protection in alpine environments. Just don't buy this thinking it is your workhorse puffy piece for all situations. Overall, the new Atom SL is a great example of the type of piece Arc'teryx does best, high-performing and versatile in alpine environments, light and packable, trustworthy and always at hand.
Revisited but not better ..
Nice but not the same quality and comfort as the pre revisited version. The form is not the same, not exact specifications if I match the old and new one in size M. New is slightly wider , longer arms or thinner material .. the non isolated pieces between front and back are more loose. I would love an old version in size M but too late I suppose…. Color fourage is awesome. And the materials used are different feel! With a sweater on you won’t slip in because different material or feel. Btw I’m a 70kg, 178 and 95-84-94 person so M should fit as a glove.
Hi there. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — you’re right that the revised Atom SL Hoody features changes in fit and materials to enhance breathability and mobility, which can feel different if you’re used to the previous version. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Forage colour, and we’ll pass your notes on sizing and fabric feel to our design team.
Great Hoody for early Spring and early Autumn
I have two Atom SL Hoody’s, one in Forage and one in Serene, I use them as general every day top layers. I don’t use them for anything particularly adventurous, just day to day wear, I think the level of insulation is perfect in the UK during April to May, and September to October (that’s a rough guide) as soon as my Atom Hoody starts to feel a bit warm I swop over to the SL. It’s a nice lightweight hoody, and packs away nice and small. The build and material seem durable enough, I’m sure if you treat it well it will last. Definitely 4/5 stars, the only thing to bring it too 5 stars would the colour range, if there was the same options that were in the Woman’s range, that would be really good as I like the brighter colours, especially Alpenglow.
Most comfortable and versatile jacket
This is my go-to jacket that comes with my no matter the season or adventure! Works great as a lighter mid-layer during ski season, early morning hikes in the summer, or even around the campfire. I also used it quite frequently during my runs to work in the Feb/Mar months and love the breathability of the material underneath the arms. All that aside, my favourite thing about this jacket is its comfort - I find myself always reaching for it even in the city on cooler days.
