- Arcteryx Atom LT Jacket Review - Active Insulation Perfection
The Arcteryx Atom LT is a legend of a jacket. I have had several versions of the Atom LT over the last 8+ years and it is one of my favorites. This active insulation is a great combo of stretch, warmth, looks and function. With 60 grams of CoreLoft insluation, 20D nylon outer and side panels of stretchy fleece - this is a very comfortable jacket.
The color is Bitters (kind of a chocolate brown)

Love the color. Thinking about getting one. And I pretty much like the jacket version cause it can be used for casual wear as well plus it‘ll fit better underneath another jacket without having the hood in the way. Seems like a great piece. Thx for the vid! 💪
Hello Sasha! Stoked you like the color too. Agreed on the jacket being versatile for layering and going out. Heck, I am taking the wife out tonight in it!
@@Engearment Yes man! Looking great in it! Have a nice one! ✌️
Your reviews on Arc’teryx gear are awesome, very objective but makes me look at things functionality wise that I would have never thought of.
I’m relatively new to Arcteryx in terms of purchasing their products, but have been a fan for a long time whether it be their build quality or their aesthetics. Keep up the great content!
Thank you so much for the wonderful note!!! Made my day. Very grateful for good viewers like yourself. 😊🙌
They do a really great job of making high quality products and a nice aesthetic as well. I think it is usually worth the price (especially on sale!)
@@Engearment my pleasure! Will be dropping in time to time as I’ll be adding more pieces of Arcteryx to my collection for hiking and snowshoeing. Keep up great content!
Cool, great review Sean! Really look forward to another comparison review with other comparable jackets. THANKS!!
Thank you!! I am stoked to get the comparison going too. 🙌
@@Engearment Please throw the Marmot Alt HB Hoodie you reviewed this week in there 😊
@@DanceCommander Ohhh ya! It will be in there :). I was just wearing that this morning. Really good jacket. Take care!
I see many similarities between the long sleeves version and the vest. Sadly, the vest removed the internal zip pocket. Therefore, only 2 side external pockets on the vest version. It is stylish, well fitting and does the insulation job as you described. Thanks for the review
I appreciate your content. While the jackets are somewhat similar, I really struggle to decide between this and the nano air. Love them both! Great content as always.
Thank you!! Tuff call on that. I am going to do a vid on that and hope it helps others like you, trying to decide between two very good jackets. Take care!
Great review, Sean!
Atom LT and also the AR are great for cool and cold seasons. AR has more warmth when less active.
Thank you Brtian! Good call on the AR. Great stuff!
Hi mate, great vid. How cold was it when you were filming this? I’m after a warm jacket that I can use over a tee shirt and maybe a thin jumper while keeping warm in colder temps. Temp range around 5deg Celsius. Would you recommend this jacket? I travel a fair bit also for work so it would be good for a nice warm jacket for static use (flights etc) and city use. What’s your thoughts?
Hey! It was around 20F in this video. I would be cooking in this at 5C (I think that is like 40F?) So it should treat you well for your conditions. Take care!
Thanks for the review. How would you compare this to Kor Stasis that you reviewed?
Great question! I like the Atom a bit more as it looks nice and fits me a bit better.
@@Engearment Edit: ordered kor stasis with hoody @ less than half the price of Atom and returning because of the fit. For the money Kor Stasis is too good but again the fit. Your review was super helpful. Thank you.
Sean mentioned the Nano-Air Light... Any chance you'll have more info on that one soon? Looking forward to your thoughts on it if that's coming down the pipe. Cheers!
Hello! We have the Nano Air light hybird, and love it. Hoping to have the Nano Air (fall 2023 version) here soon as well. I am thinking by june we should be able to have reviews up on more fall Patagonia gear. Cheers!
@@Engearment Beauty! Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
wish i had this version instead of the hooded one
The jacket is such a stylish and useful version. 🙌😎
Have they made any changes to the atom for 2023 compared to previous models? I heard this year Atom lt was gonna be called the atom and then the atom sl is gonna be the atom lightweight. Then the beta lt is Gonna be beta and then there is gonna be a beta lightweight. That’s at least what the manager told me at my local Arc’teryx store haha
Hey!! That is the first I have heard of that, but it is entirely possible. I will check with them and report back asap. 🙌
@@Engearment thanks I would love to know if it’s true or not cause if it is I heard it would happen this month but still nothing. I’m over here waiting for the beta lt restock that still hasn’t happened haha. I have an atom lt a slightly older model not super old. But I outgrew it I was waiting for this suppose new version which I dont know if it’s actually a thing or not but I dont know if I should get a new atom lt or the north face Casaval you reviewed. Hoodies of course. I know casaval comes in a hybrid model. Or I can do proton lt or proton hybrid but I believe hybrid proton won’t be as warm so maybe just the other 3 options unless you have tried proton. Hybrid. Thanks! It would be used for snowboarding and daily wear
@@Engearment the beta lightweight is out. Wish I waited to order my beta lt. I just got the lt today and might exchange it. It’s $50 more for the lightweight and has the zipper still under the arms with the reco tech. The backing is a soft knit backing and some other stuff
What size do you recommend for me? I am 5’5” and 146 lbs. I have the Patagonia Micro puff in small but the waist is pretty tight on me.
Sorry, I am confused , you call it a mid layer piece , are you meaning it isn't meant to be a stand alone jacket. Thank you kindly and thanks for the video
Hello! You can absolutely were it on its own. That’s how I use it most of the time. I call it a mid layer as it can also be used under a hard shell for layering purposes. Hope that helps!
@@Engearment
It actually does, thank you kindly for your reply & happy holidays to you and your family
Hey would you mind doing a comparison of the atom AR to the LT. I’m trying to decide between the two in terms of overheating in active situations and then warmth level while being inactive around camp etc. like how cold would you be able to wear the lt standing around vs the AR etc. thank you for this review!
Hello! Great idea! I will see if we can get that going. Thanks for the great idea and nice note!
Proton LT vs Atom LT?
Nice idea! I will see if we can get that set up 🙌
What base layer did you wear in this vid when it was 10 deg?
If I recall correctly, it was a 150 or 200 wt Kora yak wool.
Sweet thanks!
Anyone reading this can compare it to Dynafit's Mezzalama Alpha or Traverse Alpha jackets?
how would you say this jacket holds up in light rain?
In my experience it’s good in light rain for up to 30 minutes, but will start to soak up rain after that point. Stays warm when wet though due to being synthetic insulation
That is spot on. Thanks for the help!
What about TNf ventrix?
Oh ya! Good stuff. We did a splitboard based trip with North Face this time last year and tested out the Vebtrix and Futurelite gear. Good stuff. We have reviews on that on this channel. Hope that helps.
Is this jacket betterthan hoody?
Hello! I think it depends. Hoods are wonderful in most situations. But sometimes non hooded is the way to go.
@@Engearment what size should I get if you could recommend
I’m 5’8 150lbs
Atom LT vs. Outdoor Vitals Vario?
Ohh that is a tuff one. I like them both. If I want good looks over anything, then the LT. If I am doing a high output activity, the Vario.
love it but forsen told me to not buy it
Which size do you wear
XL
@@Engearment thank you very much.
@@Engearment What is your height and weight if I may ask? Am unsure between L and XL for myself
@@AFCArmin 6'1" 215lb Hope that helps!
I wish this jacket had cinch cords 😢
will chicks want to date me with this jacket? you know its just streetwear hype this brand. no reason why this garment made in china for pennies on the dollar should go for 300 usd +++
Brokie comment
If $300 is a considerable amount of money for you then definitely don’t purchase this jacket. Upgrade your marketable skills and increase your income. You’ll also boost your chance with woman doing that.
