The Best All - Around Puffy: Arc'teryx Atom Hoody review
Hey guys, let me tell you about this Arc'teryx Atom Hoody. Arc'teryx makes some of the sickest jackets and outerwear out there, and the Atom Hoody (it used to be called the Atom LT Hoody) is probably their most well - known one.
When the weather started getting chilly, I pulled out my Atom and Proton puffies. And let me tell you, the Atom is way more comfortable. The women's model only weighs 310 grams, and the men's is just 370 grams. Just looking at those numbers, it's clear this is Arc'teryx's most popular insulating layer.
I got the mid - weight, hooded Atom Hoody from the Atom series. The hood has the same 60 - gram - per - square - meter fill as the rest of the jacket. So, it keeps you warm all over evenly. It's way more practical than having to grab a separate hat for warmth and convenience. I've noticed that black sapphire has been a classic color they keep coming back to in the last couple of years.
The bottom of the jacket has a drawstring. This thing is super useful for blocking wind from sneaking in. I've been thinking about how important these little details are. This drawstring isn't just for show. It actually tightens up and stays put, not like some that are just there for looks. And when you zip the jacket all the way up, it covers your mouth. Yeah, you might get some lipstick on it, but hey, it's worth it for the warmth. My belly and neck are the areas I'm always worried about getting cold, and I'm telling you, this jacket is perfect for city wear.
It's got this exclusive Coreloft™ C - Cotton. The double - fiber design beats the old - school insulation. It doesn't care if it gets wet; it keeps you toasty. And the best part? It bounces back, no matter how many times you wash it or use it over the years. The warmth it gives stays just as good as the first day.
