Arcteryx Mens Atom LT Hoody 24K Black Puffer S

Arcteryx Mens Atom LT Hoody 24K Black Puffer S What is the Atom LT? The Atom LT hoody is one of the best insulated jackets available. This fantastic jacket can replace layers of bulky fleece with one lightweight, warm, packable layer. Use it for virtually any outdoor activity, from winter climbing to multi-day treks and everything in between. What is the Atom LT made of? Insulation: At the core of Atom you will find 60g/m² of Coreloft Compact insulation, a synthetic insulation that is similar to Primaloft, however, it's been developed by Arc'teryx to be more durable and resistant to compression (hence the 'compact' bit of the name). Not only is it more durable, but the synthetic fibres have also been siliconised to further increase breathability by reducing the fibre's ability to hold onto moisture. Face Fabric: Arc'teryx use their own Tyono 20 fabric throughout the outer of the Atom. The tight weave of the Tyono face fabric allows for very little air permeation which plays an important role — this minuscule amount of air will go un-noticed during activity but will slowly replenish the warm air that's already trapped inside the insulation and will keep you at a comfortable temperature even whilst moving. To improve breathability even further, super-stretchy, air-permeable polyester panels have been added to the side of the jacket. Not only does this improve breathability, but increases comfort and stretchiness during high-output activities. Both of these fabrics feature a durable water repellent coating to allow light rain and snow to bead off the surface. Please note, this does not make the Atom waterproof, we still recommend taking a hardshell in heavy rain.
