In my honest opinion, this is one of Arc'teryx's best products. The Atom line is already incredibly, and this might be the best 'base' layer yet. I say base because that is how I treat it (perfect under a shell, or paired with a Cerium it might be suitable for any cold temperature range). It isn't super warm, but would be perfect for hanging around a campfire on a night near the 60s, or a great winter running piece. It is definitely the most comfortable Atom product, with the sleeve material feeling extremely light and silky almost. When heading out to camp, I always bring one of these and if I'm sitting idly at a trail race, this is what I have on.

Go To Jacket
In my opinion for me, one of the best jackets I have ever bought. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

It Has Some Flaws
The flaws:
1)The underarms Octa fabric is easy to poke through with a zipper from an outer shell jacket.
2) The sleeves are too long.
3) PLEASE STOP PRINTING BRANDING LETTERS ON THE HOODIE FOREHEAD!

Take This Jacket Everywhere!
Great lightweight, packable jacket ready for physical activity and travel. I took this jacket to the top of Half Dome and a few days later on a plane to Asia. Very comfortable, easy to stuff in a backpack and will last for years like my other Arctyrex jackets.

Near Perfect Except It Unzips Too Easily
This jacket is very nice but has a significant flaw that it shares with my Proton SL hoody: the zipper doesn’t lock, so it very easily unzips with any slight pulling apart of the unzipped portion. In practice this means that when wearing it and moving around, it easily unzips itself which is pretty annoying! Please fix this!

Packability Vs Warmth
Longtime Arcteryx fan. This is a slimmed down version of the Atom Jacket I’ve owned previously. Slimmed down to the point of adding very little warmth as a layer. The sleeves have no insulation at all , it’s basically a layer of nylon covering your arms again adding little to no insulation/warmth. So in summary; the new Adam SL Hoody has great packability at the expense of any warmth. A real miss in my opinion, I suggest bringing back the old version.

Sl Hoody
I bought the Atom SL Hoody to replace one that I bought several years ago. The original was the most versatile jacket I have ever owned. The updated version has similar functionality in a range of temps and conditions. My only complaint on the newer version is that it is only really comfortable around the neck if zipped al the way up or unzipped to the chest. The older jacket was more comfortable, as you could leave it unzipped just at the bottom of your neck and it would fall properly. Good hood, fitted shape with good stretch. Best lightweight insulated jacket that you can buy.

Bring Back The Old Version!
A step backward. Last years jacket was much better. This has gone so far downhill that I begin to question if Arcteryx still has the same company values as it once did. Cheap and thin. A lesser jacket for the same price. For the love of outdoors, please revert back to your previous version with the storable brim hood, sleeve cuffs, etc. you think your are innovating, but you are ruining your brand

Light And Breathable
Really nice light weight breathable jacket. Only thing I don’t like are the cuffs. I would have preferred a cuff like the one on the regular atom or an adjustable option. It goes past the wrist which is annoying.

Most Comfortable And Versatile Jacket
This is my go-to jacket that comes with my no matter the season or adventure! Works great as a lighter mid-layer during ski season, early morning hikes in the summer, or even around the campfire. I also used it quite frequently during my runs to work in the Feb/Mar months and love the breathability of the material underneath the arms. All that aside, my favourite thing about this jacket is its comfort - I find myself always reaching for it even in the city on cooler days.

Great „evergreen“ jacket / hoody for warmer temperatures. Bit longer sleeves than in previous versions.

Great Replacement For My Atom Lt
I own an Atom LT Hoody that I have worn for years and recently replaces with the Atom SL Hoody as my youngest son has taken ownership of the LT. Overall this is a great replacement. It sheds light rain and is the prefect jacket for everyday use in moderate weather. It is also remarkably light. I am 5' 9" 170LB athletic build and the medium fits nicely.

Perfect Weight For Spring Hiking!
I love the weight of the Atom SL and the bright color. It's great for spring hiking or late winter/early spring running. The material and quality are great. My only complaint is that the Women's S is a bit tight across the chest and the Women's M is a bit too loose, so it feels less flattering than some of my other Arc'teryx jackets. It fits my friend who is taller than me a bit better!
