FAQs
Is the Atom Hoody waterproof?
No, it is moisture-resistant. It will shed light rain or snow but should be layered under a waterproof shell for heavy weather.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
Yes, it functions well as a standalone layer in dry, cool conditions or high-output activities.
Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?
Yes, the StormHood is designed to be low-profile yet adjustable enough to fit over most climbing helmets.
How do I store the jacket long-term?
Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
What is the fit like?
It features a trim, athletic fit intended to sit close to the body for efficient heat management and easy layering.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels flat after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers and restore loft.
Jacket feels damp after a long hike
Ensure you are using the jacket as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in wet conditions to protect the insulation.
Zippers feeling stuck
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track; use a zipper lubricant if the track remains stiff.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and highly packable for backcountry trips
- Synthetic insulation stays warm when wet
- Excellent mobility due to articulated cut
- Breathable enough to wear during active climbs
- Helmet-compatible, low-profile hood design
Cons
- Not intended for extreme sub-zero conditions as a standalone piece
- Outer fabric is water-resistant, not fully waterproof
- Fleece side panels may absorb moisture in heavy downpours
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Atom Hoody, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic insulation. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or wool dryer balls to help restore the loft of the insulation. The hood is designed to be worn over or under a helmet, and the trim fit allows it to layer seamlessly beneath a shell jacket without restricting arm movement.
