Great do-it-all layer, not a good climbing layer
Great fit, comfortable, highly breathable & an awesome all around high-output layer... but not quite sure what defines this as a climbing hoody. First day out climbing I put two holes in the fleece sleeves. One hole due to a nut tool puncture & one rubbing against a rock. The thumb loops are appreciated to approach, but do not offer much utility to climb with nor does the hood cover a helmet. For a climbing hoodie, I generally would expect more abrasion resistance. The gamma jacket still takes the climbing cake for me. That being said, this hoody is most definitely growing on me as an all-around jacket & the fit is slim and harness compatible.
Konseal
The jacket is awesome. Love the breathability, the fit is spot on. And the color is simply amazing.
Great concept, poor execution
While the Konseal line has traditionally been a climbing line, this one feels slightly off the mark. I've been using a delta hoody which I feel is slightly thicker but is warmer and more breathable. This may have some more wind resistance, but I felt like i was overheating and sweating a lot more due to inability of the piece to breathe. The thumb loops are quite big, and I've actually accidentally ended putting my hand/wrist through the loop rather in the actual cuff of the sleeve. If you are looking for a piece that might have a bit more ruggedness/harder face fabric on the rock this might be for you... but I personally feel that the delta is a better piece overall.
Decent piece but kind of unnecessary
Bought this piece in blue and the light blue on the arms looks kind of washed when I got it, didn't really like the colour. Also the seams on the outside of the arms really don't look great after rubbing against granite. It fits good. It's decently warm. Breathes decently. Still kind of want to put on a wind jacket when it blows up so it feels like I'm using it as a normal fleece.. in retrospect I'd probably put my money on a decent fleece and a softshell instead.
Great do-it-all spring layer
Just picked up the Konseal Hybrid Hoody a couple of weeks ago and it's quickly become my go to layer for spring activities. Recently wore it every day of a 5 day ski traverse and for alpine running when the temperature hovers between -5 to 5 C. It strikes the perfect balance with warmth, wind protection and breathability. Compared to a dedicated wind layer like the Squamish Hoody, I find that I can keep the Konseal on for longer in changing conditions as I warm up. Only downside that I've observed is that it tends to bunch up when worn underneath other larger layers with a large pack on. Minor inconvenience, especially considering that I'll usually wear this as a stand alone outer layer.
Great feature but uncomfortable shoulder.
I really want to love it. It’s basically an upgraded Delta Hybrid with the new insulation, full zipper for easier on/off, and hand pockets. All the features I want, in one piece, finally. However, this is also the first Arc that I’m uncomfortable in. The shoulder is weird. When I hold my arms up at chest level and put my hands closer, there is a rather strong restriction feeling on my shoulder blade. It’s tight on the back, especially where the shell material meets the stretchy. The shoulder also bubbled up, indicating fabric tension. Maybe I got a lemon, and I would love to give it another try because it could be a really really good jacket. Only if I can find my size and color back in stock.
Go To Jacket
Love this jacket. I wear it for early morning rucks and short bike commutes to work. It’s my go to jacket for cooler morning workouts as well as casual wear. Fit is perfect. I am 6’, 190lbs, 44” chest, 31” waist, large fits well to allow for freedom of movement, with light tee underneath.
Poor Quality Control - Threads undone in a month
The quality of Arcteryx has dropped signficantly as someone who has bought their products for 5+ years. I recently bought the Konseal hoodie in black, and within a month, i'm already seeing the threads fall apart at the cuff.
Great reincarnation of Fortrez hoody
I was looking forward to this reincarnation of the old Fortrez hoody. Similar to the Fortrez, this one also has a nice trim fit but with a little less bagging in the stomach area. It does feel thinner compared to the Fortrez but also feels more windproof with the newer material. I always appreciated the abrasion resistance of the hardfaced fleece on the old Fortrez, but I haven't tested out the abrasion resistance of this newer Konseal. Overall I am quite pleased with this new hoody, and I especially like the Vitality color which is a saturated true blue.
Perfect for Climbing
I have been using this jacket at the crag for a month and love it. The face fabric is wind resistant and doesn't pill and the back and sides are super breathable. No more sweaty wet back under your back pack. Its perfect on those spring mornings where its too cool to be in a t-shirt but you do not want to be sweating on your approach. The inside is brushed fabric that wicks moisture off your skin. It also climbs well and holds up against limestone. One downside is that it really rides up when reaching and pulls out from the harness.
