Super light

Super happy with this purchase! Many say it feels like wearing a plastic garbage bag, but I don’t feel that way at all. The jacket is amazingly light and perfect for various conditions. I wore a T-shirt underneath along with the Cerium SL and Alpha SV, and I was good to go. Sometimes, I wear a base layer instead, and this jacket keeps me warm during my commute or in the office. Plus, it packs down so small that I can take it anywhere. Great performance! I’d say this jacket is more functional for activities like skiing or skating, but I wouldn’t recommend it for extreme cold outdoor wear unless you’re someone who runs hot and sweats easily.

Great thin jacket with excellent warmth.

Excellent warmth from such a thin jacket. I use it as a jacket instead of base layer so I hope it holds up. When you first wear it, it is loud and makes a crinkly paper sound. That dissipates the more you wear the jacket. One thing that could be better—if not wearing the hood, the ribbed hood cuff material rubs against back of neck irritating it. If I wear a shirt with a collar, it goes away. Maybe a bigger size would have solved that but I like the jacket to hug the body. Overall quality is excellent and I recommend it.

Decent jacket in boring colors..

This used to be, by far, one of the best things that Arcteryx used to produce. It was available in a beautiful navy blue color with a dark burgundy interior, which was fabulous because it was not garish. The color was subdued, but the hint of maroon from the interior was so good. Now the SL version is only available in a boring black, and it's become shinier for some reason. Very stupid..

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's always great to hear from people who have spent time in the mountains with our gear, and we can definitely appreciate the love for some of the classic Cerium colourways. As for the shinier look, that's largely due to the updated 10D Pertex® Quantum outer fabric. Pertex Quantum is an ultralight, tightly woven material designed to keep weight low while improving wind resistance and packability. One of the trade-offs is that its smooth surface can have a bit more sheen than fabrics used in some previous generations of the Cerium. That said, we know looks matter too, and fabric finishes and colour choices can be just as memorable as the adventures they come along on. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on both the fabric appearance and the colour selection. We'll make sure your comments are passed along to our product team.

Great Update of An Excellent Jacket

The new model Cerium SL Hoody is the perfect light, warm travel / hike piece. The right amount of warmth in a jacket that is easy to carry on any adventure. I have used the previous version of the Cerium SL since 2016 and it has been my go to for cool to mild temperature activities. The new version has improved fabric that feels more durable and higher loft down making it a bit warmer.

Amazing item, shame for colour choice

would give a 5* rating for the product if it weren't for the fact that color options have changed within a week of me purchasing, extremely frustrating, given Forage is hands down the most versatile color, had to "settle" with black which is not the same.

Hello Cometa, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear the Cerium SL Hoody is working well for you, and we completely understand the disappointment when a preferred color becomes available so soon after your purchase. Forage is a standout shade and a popular choice for its versatility, so it makes sense that you were hoping to get your hands on it. While color availability can shift quickly based on demand and seasonal updates, we appreciate you letting us know how this timing affected your experience. We hope your Cerium continues to deliver the performance and comfort you expect from it.

Exactly what i am looking for, but

Bought but was wishing for a larger size (3XL) like they offer in other insulated jackets. Had to return just a little tight also would have expected a better quality zipper because the one on it seemed very breakable.

Good jacket; kinda ugly.

It’s a personal preference, sure, but I really don’t like the ‘wet’/glossy fabric. I also wish it came in that dark blue colour.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Cerium SL Hoody. We understand that the sheen of the ultralight fabric isn’t for everyone. Your note about colour options is also appreciated; our teams review guest input closely as we plan future seasons, and hearing that you’d love to see a darker blue helps guide those conversations. If you’re exploring alternatives with a more matte finish or in the palette you prefer, we’d be happy to help you find a great fit.
