ARCTERYX ATOM LT Mens hoody

The Arcteryx Atom LT Hoody is perfect for our Australian wet/cold winter conditions. The synthetic Coreloft 60 Insulation creates a warm and snug jacket at just 360 grams, while being quick drying and resistant to absorbing moisture.

This lightweight insulated hooded jacket is ideal for many outdoor activities in cool conditions, from belaying, to bushwalking, to camping, to ski-touring.

And when it starts to warm up, you can pack it down to nothing and keep going. Check out this handy video from Arc'teryx on stuffing the Atom LT Hoody:

Arc’teryx says:

This trim hybrid hoody is designed as an active-use insulation layer, providing vital core warmth with liberal mobility and breathability. Lightweight and compressible, the Atom LT Hoody features Coreloft™ insulation in the torso, arms and hood. The side panels and underarms feature Polartec® Power Stretch® with Hardface® Technology, delivering stretch mobility and breathability. A wind and moisture resistant outer shell extends stand-alone usability.

ESSENTIAL PIECE

Fact: Every person at Head Office owns at least one Atom LT; most of the women have two.

The reason: Coreloft™ insulation inside a light taffeta shell. All the comfort of a sleeping bag, but it feels weightless.

WINDSHELL

The benefit of taffeta fabrics is their light, airy nature with an ability to turn aside wind. The Atom series have a taffeta outer lining that is treated with DWR (durable water resistant) finish to give them a long-lasting ability to shed moisture. In light precipitation, the Atom LT can be worn as an outer layer.

NO SWEAT

Mid layers that can function as outer layers have varied degrees of weather shedding capability; they also have varied degrees of moisture management. In addition to being made of breathable Coreloft™ insulation, the Atom LT has breathable side panels of Polartec® Power Stretch® with Hardface™ technology to help regulate temperature during exertion.

PACK LIGHT

Highly compressible, Atom pieces pack down into a tiny parcel of stored warmth. Store the jacket inside its own pocket, or tuck it into a sleeve or inside the hood if you are not restricted by space. A quick shake restores the original loft, time and again.
