Arc'teryx  Atom Insulated Jacket - Women's

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have three of these and they're fine but just too short for my liking - I'm tall, but not that tall (5'9.5"). It's not so much that I dislike the look of this length, but I just wish there was a little more clearance when I have layers underneath. E.g., I have to tuck in my base layer, or else it sticks out the bottom. My other frustration is that the smaller sizes have shorter lengths - if I was an XL, the length would be fine. Why does Arc'teryx assume that taller people are also bigger? Us taller thinner ladies are stuck with things that are too short. It's frustrating. Also, I really dislike the colour selection this fall season. Where are the rich, bright colours?

I have several Atom hoody’s dating from 2013 to 2019 as well as an SL all in Large. I wanted a jacked without the hood and ordered my same size based on the statement that this was a revised fit, designed to fit closer to the body, trim fit etc. This is huge, especially the arms. Additionally, the collar comes up over my chin. I wear a Medium in some Arc jackets but the Atom has consistently previously fit well as a Large. Am very disappointed and am reluctant to shop knowing that I can’t count on consistent sizing. Besides quality that was one of the appealing things about Arcteryx.

I already own an Atom jacket and decided to buy one for my wife. She absolutely loves the jacket as it is comfortable, warm, and high quality. It also looks good when you are signing the register at a new summit!

I use the Atom the most out of any other “puffy” I own. It is hands down, the best and warmest out of the three I have hanging up, and it has proved that it is worth its price time and time again.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This jacket looks good no matter what you wear under or over it. The layering capabilities are what really make it a standout. Underneath a waterproof shell or wool overshirt you're set for any weather condition. Over top of a long or short sleeve shirt you've got a remarkably sleek fit that provides warmth on the front and back with a little stretch and ventilation on the sides to make sure you never get clammy. I love them (I have two) and consider them essential wardrobe pieces for home and travel.

Falls between two stools- large is a nice fit and flattering in the body (40 inch chest & hips), though sleeves are far too bulky. It would fit under a raincoat or heavier outer layer- in which case why have such a high collar and bulky sleeves. If worn on its own I don't get the stretchy, non-insulated side panels. I'd prefer this with a lower collar like the men's, same construction throughout, and slimmer sleeves. For this price it has to be perfect. And must you have the prominent logo?

Great jacket for being active! It's form fitting without restricting movement. Easy to layer. Warm without being bulky. Zippers zip smoothly. Collar is soft. The only con is also a pro: The cuff on the wrist keeps wind out but it's hard to pull over a watch to track your activity. I've always been a fan of down jackets, but I've been reaching for this one more and more. I may need a backup in neutral colors. For reference, I'm 5'4" 125 and got a small in Black Sapphire. LOVE this color.

I bought a previous version of this jacket like 8 years ago and I loved to wear it all year round! It's comfy and not too warm for chilly summer nights, great to wear on its own in spring and autumn and a superb base layer in winter underneath a waterproof jacket. I had the version with a hood all those years and now decided to pick the one without a hood. It might be useful for some because it is slim and really warm, but because of my hairstyle I hardly used it. So now I purchased the version without a hood and will wear a beanie when needed. I'm 1,56 m tall and the arm sleeves are a little too long for me. Also the space around the chest is a little to small for my bosom. But the lightweight material balances the fit of the jacket quite well. This jacket is quite pricey, but for me it's totally worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket, its warm, but breathable and lightweight enough for exertion (i.e. touring, cross country skiing etc.) I use it all winter and then it becomes a spring and fall staple as well since it's lightweight enough for spring/fall nights. I also have the LT version for warmer days and/or activities that are very active in the winter (I run hot) where I don't want as much insulation.

I love the style and weight of this jacket, which is a nice transition into the cooler fall months. I appreciate that there is no hood on this jacket, as hoods just get in the way with my shoulder length hair and add bulk. Love the black sapphire color - it's a cross between black and midnight navy. Beautiful. Just wish it came in some of the same colors as the hoody version, though.
