What is the Atom LT?
The Atom LT hoody is one of the best lightweight insulated hooded jackets available. This fantastic jacket can replace layers of bulky fleece with one lightweight, warm, packable layer.
What is the Atom LT made of?
Insulation: At the core of Atom you will find 60g/m² of Coreloft insulation, a synthetic insulation that is similar to Primaloft. However, it has been developed by Arc'teryx to be more durable. Not only is it more durable, but the synthetic fibres have also been siliconised to further increase breathability by reducing the fibres ability to hold onto moisture.
Face Fabric: The Tyono face fabric is a 20 denier nylon fabric that has been treated with a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish for greater weather protection. The tight weave of the Tyono face fabric allows for very little air permeation which plays a very important role. This minuscule amount of air will go un-noticed but will slowly replenish the warm air that's already trapped inside the insulation and will keep you at a comfortable temperature even whilst moving. To aid temperature control 100% Polyester side panels, that are super durable and have a slight bit of stretch to them, have been used to give an anatomical fit that enhances breathability and increases moisture transfer in the warm areas and also provide fantastic freedom of movement.
What are the features?
The Atom LT features two hand pockets and an internal security pocket - all of which are zipped. The hood is fully adjustable and sits snug to your head, even in strong winds. Finally, to seal out the cold, the Atom LT features a hem drawcord and low-profile Jersey knit cuffs are so soft and so smooth you'll barely notice that they are there, especially when you do need to “layer up".
How does the Atom LT fit?
The Atom LT fits into Arcteryx's 'Trim Fit' fit block, which means it is designed to sit snug to your body with room for a layer or two underneath but doesn't have lots of excess material that will flap around in the wind.
Where does the Atom LT fit in the layering system?
The Atom LT is an insulating jacket that works well as a stand-alone jacket on still, chilly days, but can also be layered up under a shell in colder, damp conditions.
