Used To Be Great

The updated version is a severe downgrade from the previous version. The fit is worse, zipper quality is noticeably worse, and no inside pocket. I ended up returning it, there are better options at a lower price point.

Shame, Shame, Shame

"Revised" in all the wrong possible ways. I was one of the first customers to point out the complete downgrade in insulation. It's the old SL rebranded as the Atom. Bring back the old AR Atom and you have a great vest. As someone who already owns the SL, this is a really misleading marketing ploy and profit grab by Arcteryx. The ratings speak volumes.

No More Inside Breast Pocket.

I instruct in a chilly flight simulator. This vest was a perfect weight and the inside breast pocket was the perfect place for my phone. It was also great for travel as an extra layer on chilly days and the inside breast pocket was a great way to secure valuables. I returned the replacement I recently order. No more inside breast pocket... truly bad design decision by Arcteryx.

New Atom Vest

I have 2 Atom LT vests and 3 Atom regular vests, all older and still looking "ok" but wanted to replace with a newer version. Got the new design Atom and it is truely lacking in many areas from the older version. One, just feels flimsy and the fit is not right, baggy for large while the older version large fit great. Also, the pocket inside is gone? Not sure whats going on with the designs anymore. I cannot find the LT versioni of the Atom vest anymore? That version was perfect for summer temps in cooler breezy areas, such as mountains and the coast. Are you bringing the LT version back?

Excellent Vest

So just like the Adam jacket this one is fantastic. Obviously it will be a little cooler because it is a vest. otherwise, it has every feature that the Adam jacket has. I LOVE mine and use it all of the time. I may buy a second one also bc it is so good. I own multiple types of vests from multiple companies and this one is by far my favorite.

Why Did The Male Version Get Down Graded?

why did the men's version, but not the female version, have the inside pocket removed? It was an important feature as men don't have many carry options.

Just Ok.

Shape and sizing are good, but not as warm as prior version. Needs a chest pocket.

Received incentive

Worth The Price

The vest is made of the softest lightweight material I have ever seen.

Still Reliable

Never had an issue on the vest and I have taken this to my hike to Whitney and I both own the old and newer version. Still would recommend it. The only complaint I have is the omission of the word in the front pocket.

Fantastic Winter Driving Jacket 😎

This my third Atom Vest. I drive and feel comfortable without the sleeves. Also, I conceal carry (a weapon). This jacket is warm and conceals. DO ALL OF YOUR BODY MEASUREMENTS: The Arc'teryx body measurement charts are pretty correct. Over the last 10 years, I have had maybe 2 returns,...do your body measurements 😎

Thin Material

well made, as expected, but more like a shirt than a warming layer.

Great Quality

This vest is very comfortable for every day wear. Feels great on, looks great.

To Another 10 Years

I just Rebirthed my 10 year old model for a new one. It is the perfect complementary piece in my collection

One Year Of Use: Super Versatile

Such a useful piece of kit... I bought this to use as a mid-layer on non-technical winter days out (I have an Nuclei vest for harsh weather and extra warmth), but it has ended up coming with me on so many more days than I expected. The cut of a medium is perfect on my 6'1" average build; not going to get too thick a fleece under it, but that's not what it's for I suppose.. where it does excel is as a super-packable boost of heat that breathes waaay better than the Nuclei but offers surprisingly decent wind protection too. I wear it for everything now above freezing ( or below if i am hoping to stay on the move).. Got to say that the material does stain quite a bit and the outer fabric might not be the most robust, so I don't really use it for work. It is thee best ski-touring/mountaineering outer layer I own - and if combined with the Practitioner jacket or lightweight Proton for super cold days, is just about all I will ever take again (+ a shell if howling or wet). One minor quibble is that the zip puller is exact same colour as the shell material and the zip, this makes it hard to see and grab with goggles on.
