Fiber jacket with hood of the brand Arc'teryx for women.
The jacket Atom SL Hoody W 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 cold conditions but is also a great single layer to wear during intense activity or to keep warm when conditions are not extreme. Comparatively, its insulation is comparable to that of a light fleece but with a significantly lower weight and a much higher compactness.
Perfect for use as an insulating layer as its Coreloft™ Compact 40 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 current Atom SL, the amount of filler is 40 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 DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment finish that provides water repellency and wind resistance.
In addition, it incorporates bluesign certified elastic side panels made mainly of polyester (93%) but with a high elastane content (7%) to increase mobility and breathability. The result is a highly elastic fabric that breathes and wicks away moisture, with a very pleasant touch thanks to its soft brushed surface.
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. Slim fit 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 bottoms of the jacket are adjustable with an elastic strap and the back hem is slightly longer to allow the body to flex without exposing the lower back.
The StormHood™ is windproof and water-repellent but does not have thermal insulation to protect us from the wind and rain during the activity without adding unnecessary heat. This hood is also preformed for use with a helmet and is quick-adjustable with an elastic cord. Allows collection when not in use.
Light jacket with great compression capacity, the result is a warm garment weighing only 237 grams and easily compactable to the size of a grapefruit.
Full front zipper No Slip Zip™ with chin protector.
