Fiber jacket with hood for women of the brand Arc'teryx designed to protect us in cold weather conditions.
The jacket Atom LT Hoody is light, warm, breathable and with a perfect pattern to allow mobility in any mountain sport, being highly recommended for activities that involve a lot of arm movement such as climbing, ice climbing, snowshoeing and ski touring or in other mainly aerobic situations. It can be used as a mid layer in bitterly cold conditions but is also a great single layer to wear during intense activity or to keep warm when winter conditions call for it. Comparatively, its insulation is comparable to that of an average fleece but with a significantly lower weight and much higher compactness.
Perfect for use as an insulating layer as its Coreloft™ Compact 60 provides adequate warmth and necessary breathability. Coreloft™ it is a uniform material (it is not woven by warp and weft threads) formed by a mixture of multidenier silicone polyester fibers of various sizes, both in length and thickness; the shortest fibers are those that allow excellent thermal comfort by allowing air to be trapped in them and the continuous fibers give consistency to the whole and allow a good recovery of the garment after being subjected to compression. In fact, the Coreloft™ it has been subjected to a process to compact it by 50% without reducing its thermal capacities in the same proportion; In the case of the Atom LT Hoody W, the amount of padding is 60 grams per square meter of fiber. Being a hydrophobic material, it continues to keep you warm even when wet, making it an excellent material to use in humid conditions such as fog, storms or in case of excessive sweating if we have to increase our pace at a certain moment.
The outer fabric Tyono™ 20 consists of a material made up of 100% elastic Ripstop Nylon of only 20 deniers, so we find ourselves before a fabric that is as resistant and durable as it is light. It has been given a finish with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment that provides water repellency. In addition, it incorporates side panels made of elastic fleece fabric, a material composed mainly of polyester (94%) but with a good proportion of elastane (6%) to increase mobility and breathability. The result is a highly adaptable fabric that breathes and disperses moisture with a very pleasant touch.
Pre-shaped sleeves to adapt to the movement of the arms with a soft mesh interior and light fleece side panels make this jacket very comfortable. Fitted and technical cut of the garment to adhere well to the movement of the body during the activity and to be able to use it without discomfort with other elements such as a third layer jacket, backpack or harness without forming uncomfortable wrinkles. The cuffs have been improved on this version to increase durability, make layering easier, and allow for easier removal. The bottoms of the jacket are laminated and are adjustable with two elastic pullers and the back hem is slightly longer to allow the body to flex without exposing the lower back.
The StormHood™ is water-repellent and has thermal insulation to protect us from unexpected rain during activity or to add more warmth when conditions require it. This hood is also preformed for use with a helmet and is quick-adjustable with an elastic cord. It has a structured mini-visor integrated into the hood itself.
Light jacket with great compression capacity, the result is a warm garment weighing only 320 grams and compactable in a very small size.
Full front zipper No Slip Zip™ with custom TPU straps and chin guard. Two outside pockets with hidden zipper and one inside pocket with zipper.
