FAQs

Is this vest waterproof?

No, the Arc'teryx Atom Vest features a moisture-resistant outer fabric, which helps shed light precipitation and snow but is not waterproof. It is designed to be layered with a waterproof shell for full weather protection.

What is the primary insulation used?

The vest is insulated with Coreloft™ Stretch synthetic insulation, offering warmth, compressibility, and breathability. The side panels use Octa® Fleece for enhanced ventilation.

Can this vest be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer on mild, dry days. Its moisture-resistant fabric provides some protection, and its insulation offers warmth. For harsher conditions, it excels as a mid-layer.

What materials are used in its construction?

The vest's body is made from 20D recycled nylon with a DWR finish. The side panels are Octa® Fleece (100% polyester), and the insulation is Coreloft™ Stretch (100% polyester).

How do I clean and care for the vest?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and liquid detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not bleach or dry clean.

What is the weight of the vest?

The vest weighs approximately 195g / 6.9oz for a size Medium.

Does the insulation contain recycled materials?

Yes, the Coreloft™ Stretch insulation and the Fortius™ Air 20 nylon liner are made with recycled content.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive.

Consider layering with lighter base layers or trying a size up. The vest is designed for a fitted, athletic profile.

Reduced insulation effectiveness after washing.

Ensure you are using a suitable liquid detergent and have completed the rinse cycle. Follow the tumble dry instructions to help restore loft.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
