Super Jas

Het product sluit goed aan en zit soepel. Fijne jas makkelijk mee te nemen en neemt weinig ruimte in

Oversized Cuffs

I love the hoody and would have kept it but the cuffs are too big and they drop over my hands. The jacket was the same way. Why do cuffs no longer fit?

Fabric Is Very Thin.

I have bought the same jacket several yeas ago and wanted a second jacket but was disappointed that the fabric was much thinner than the first jacket.

Worth The $$

Great material and comfortable for early Spring hiking.

Received incentive

Love My Kyanite Ar Hoody!

This is one of my favorite daily wears from Arc'teryx! I use this almost every day, and it works well as a lightweight hoody to wear at almost all times, but when it gets colder, you can simply layer on other vests (Like the Atom Vest), or just throw on your Beta AR over it, and you are good to go!

Great As An Extra Layer

Bought this a few weeks ago as a light layer to go under a rain shell and does the job perfectly. Only criticism is that the length was a little on the shorter side compared to other hoodies but not majorly.

Good Potential, Currently Flawed Design

I bought this jacket a month ago as a very light fleece/base layer for fast and light adventures. While it is very thin, almost alarmingly so when you examine it, it insulates effectively. I was shocked how much warmth this layer could add under a mid-layer or even light wind shell. Likewise, it is highly breathable, probably a side effective of how thin the fabrics are. The main thing holding this layer from a higher rating is it’s construction. As I noted previously, it is very thin. I knew that going in, going as far as to examine it in person and buy it from a store. I have several other UL pieces of equipment, many of which have lasted 3+ years of active use in the back country. I actively babied this fleece while using it. I have yet to use it as a standalone piece in the back country keeping it sealed under some sort of shell (normally a gamma sl softshell due to mild weather). I have only used it as a standalone piece around the house, 90% of which has been nighttime readings on the couch or my bed which are very static and protected areas. Despite this, there’s a pinhole puncture on the chest of the fleece, which is not a high abrasion area. I expected more durability for the cost, brand reputation, and use I’ve given this jacket. This might end up being the final straw that makes me look elsewhere for my “no expense spared” mountain equipment. I am certain there are other pieces of gear that would be more high quality, possibly for less. Sadly, this is the first piece of Arc gear I have gotten that has made me question if they’re heading in a negative direction which fails their outdoors base. I justify the expense of Arc products with their performance and quality, and while this jacket has performed so far, it has low quality standards for the price leaving me disappointed and looking for a different layering solution in the future.

Premier Comfort And Performance

The Kyanite has quickly become one of my favorite Arc'teryx garments and my go to piece for a variety of conditions and activities. It is super soft to the touch, feels great on skin, and has impressive warmth while staying lightweight. As far as activities go, I have worn this climbing and hiking on multiple occasions and find that it performs super well. In terms of size and fit, I am 5'8" 140lbs and got a medium. I would say the fit runs a little smaller so if you're in-between sizes, consider going up. I wear small in a lot of Arc stuff but sized up on this one. This jacket is stretchy and is very comfortable to climb in. It doesn't pull up much at all when reaching overhead and stays below a harness without much convincing. A big thing I enjoy in my climbing jackets is the ability to pull up the sleeves comfortably when I'm actively climbing. This jacket has stretchy wrist cuffs and easily pulls up your forearm without being too tight. The hood fits easily over or under a helmet and fits comfortably without a helmet on, which I find to be rare. Sometimes hoods are mega large to accommodate a helmet or too small to fit one at all. This strikes a perfect balance. The material isn't too thick so it tends to breathe quite well on approaches or when the climbing kicks up a bit. If needing to layer, this jacket serves as a functional mid-layer without being bulky under a shell. My only minor bit of constructive feedback for the design team to make this even better would be to consider a small stash pocket on the chest for easy access while the other pockets are under a harness. All in all, this jacket is remarkably comfortable, well designed, and is one of my go to layers for anything climbing and just day to day use.

Comfort And Style For A Hoody

This hoody is wharm but thin with a nice look that i approove

Kyanite

Odd fit on this....sleeves are baggy at wrists. Neck looks ok when completely zipped up but looks weird when it isn't with the flaps of the neck laying askew.
