The women's Arc'Teryx Atom LT Hoody is a hybrid, zip-up mid-layer that can be used as a cozy insulation layer on frigid days or as a stand-alone jacket in more mild conditions. Strategic insulation in the torso, arms and hood helps retain core heat, while breathable side panels under the arm keep your body from overheating. With a lady's specific cut, the Women's Atom LT Hoody is compressible and lightweight, making this an ideal women's layer for backcountry touring.
  • Wind resistant exterior prevents blustery conditions from penetrating the hoody and causing heat loss
  • Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish repels light rain/snow from saturating the outer layer
  • Insulated hood fits under helmet for additional insulation
  • Breathable side panels under the arm help regulate body temperature
Industry Review:

BACKPACKER MAGAZINE Assessment:

Most Versatile: 'I rarely took this jacket off,' raves a tester who wore the Atom as an outer shell and as insulation. He credits the strong breathability and easy layering, both the result of a hybrid design that combines compressible Coreloft insulation in the torso, arms, and hood with side panels of Polartec Power Stretch. You get warmth without bulk (it slides easily under a shell) and venting superior to any other puffy jacket.


'I didn't get hot when snowshoeing up the steeps because the fleece sides were so breathable,' says a tester. As an outer layer, the water-resistant nylon shell shed snow and dried quickly when damp. A sculpted 'scuba' hood boosts warmth by wrapping far forward around the face. The hood is designed to be worn under a helmet, so it has no drawstring; as a result, it flopped a bit in the wind when worn alone.
