Product Information

Full details

The Arc'teryx Atom Hoody is an essential piece of technical outerwear for outdoor enthusiasts and mountaineers seeking reliable thermal regulation in varying conditions. It excels as a high-performance midlayer or a lightweight standalone jacket, offering exceptional warmth-to-weight performance through its synthetic insulation and weather-resistant shell. While it provides incredible comfort and mobility, it is not a fully waterproof hardshell, meaning it may require an additional outer layer during sustained, heavy precipitation.

FAQs

Is the Atom Hoody waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant. It can handle light mist or snow, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated waterproof hardshell in heavy rain.

Can I wear this while climbing?

Yes, the articulated patterning and stretch side panels are specifically designed to allow for a full range of arm movement required for climbing.

How should I clean it?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild technical detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the StormHood is designed to be adjusted easily to fit securely around the head, with or without a helmet.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The Atom Hoody is designed as a lightweight, packable piece, making it highly efficient for those looking to keep their gear load minimal.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

Jacket feels less warm than when it was new

Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt, then tumble dry on low to help fluff the synthetic fibers of the Coreloft insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the technical performance of your Atom Hoody, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat to help restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
  3. Re-treatment: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.
  4. Storage: Hang the garment in a cool, dry place to ensure the insulation maintains its structure.
  5. Compatibility: This jacket is designed to layer perfectly with other Arc'teryx technical layers, matching standard sizing for a streamlined fit.
