All Day Puff

Have used this puffy for many years. Packs down small, it’s lightweight and super warm. I’ll wear it skiing, ice climbing and to the grocery store.

Mediocre Product Premium Cost.

Baffles are not evenly filled, leaving you with cold spots. Ridiculous price, much better products out there

Very Nice High-quality Down Jacket, Doesn’t Fit

I love this jacket as far as lightweight down jackets go. I’ve had many over the years for many different brands. I ordered this in an extra large and a large and unfortunately the size large is too small because of my chest/back and the XL is huge. The large would have fit if there was a little more room in the shoulders and upper back. I’m 6 foot tall with a 44-45 inch chest and wide shoulders. Despite being lightweight and extremely packable, the durability is pretty high for the denier. It has a much nicer finish to it than any of the other down jackets I’ve ever owned. It’s unfortunate that I had to return it because I would have absolutely kept it if it fit. Hopefully someday it will be sized correctly for me. In comparison, the thorium in size large (2025) fits me nearly perfectly.

Great…not So Great.

Amazing at first and this jacket does not hold up very well. I’ve taken it on two backpacking trips in the Utah Uintas and only used it as a camp jacket as I overheat easily. I also use it as my winter coat in everyday use like work or errands. Zipper has broken, down is completely shifted, stitching is loose, down escaping, and holes showing up in fabric are all issues I’m dealing with now.

Broken Zipper

This jacket fits good and it's warm. The fabric does tear easily. The zipper broke. I took pictures and contacted the Repair team. They said it is covered under warranty. They said it was unrepairable because there was a little piece of duct tape which was in the photo and said it would mess up their equipment. If I've known that I would've just peeled the piece of duct tape off and they wouldn't have even known it was there. I just want the zipper to work...

Arcteryx Going Downhill

Ripped when my keys brushed over it. Had to nag them to give me credit for it. Now, I'm trying to find a replacement jacket and they keep ruining all of the colors. Why would I want a purple zipper on a light grey jacket? Whoever is designing these are awful. Please bring back regular pastel colors.

Small Packaging

The packability is great. The jacket ist warm enough to wear it at 5 degrees.

Warm And Extremely Versatile

Very nice product. Great warmth and very easy to pack away.

Durability Issues

I've had this jacket for a couple of years, and my main issue is durability as it's very prone to holes. At this point, I've got four: two in the sleeves and two in the hood. The zipper also broke last week. I loved this jacket when it was new, but for the premium price, I expected it to hold up much longer. I think it's time to retire it and search for a new puffy.

Great Year Round Piece

Cold belays, frosty truck-bed mornings, that still hour after the sun drops. The Cerium makes those moments feel like you’re still at home. A ton of warmth, tiny pack size, and synthetic insulation placed right where moisture gathers. Quiet, thoughtful design. It’s in the bag all 4 seasons…

Just Perfect

Just perfect for spring & fall weather plus layering under a shell. I’m about 169 cm tall and 61 kg having sporty athletic figure which makes it nowadays difficult to find clothes which fit. Usually they tend to be baggy at waste and too long. Luckily this Cerium hoody in mens size XS fit me perfectly. It’s also light, feels still warm, but is thin enough to use under a shell. Perfect in many ways!

Wrong Color

The color of the jacket did not remotely look like the pictures that were in numerous websites. It came across more green compared to when it arrived it it was weird bluish color. I bought becoasieni like the jacket in in green. Needless to say I sent it back. Smh

Jacket

Excellent jacket and company. Their warranty and quality are fantastic

Fragile And Terrible

This jacket is very light and packable, but those are the only two things I like about it. It's durability is terrible. Within the first month of wearing it, the seam on both sleeves were already worn through and began leaking down. I've had to patch the entire seam on both arms. The fabric is also weak, thin, and has ripped in multiple spots just from brushing up against a sage bush. The zipper is fine, is easy to misalign, and strips easy. If you want a light and packable jacket, this one works. But, if you're looking for something durable and practical, this is not the jacket. I would not buy this again for any reason.

Great Quality, But Size Down For A Trim Fit!

Premium feel with a perfect balance—not too thin, yet durable and impressively lightweight. While I haven't tested the warmth yet, the fit is surprisingly large. Even with 51" shoulders, it feels oversized. Great quality, but size down for a trim fit!
