The Arc'teryx Atom LT Jacket: A moisture resistant, insulating jacket with incredible mobility and breathability.

We love most things from Arc'teryx because they have an attention to detail, clean and simple aesthetics, quality construction, and their gear is designed to perform well and last long after rigorous use. This week we have chosen the Atom LT Hoody as the Most Valuable Gear of the Week. Bonus: It's 30% Off - available in both Men's and Women's styles. Continue reading to learn why we love the Atom LT Hoody so much.

Here are 3 reasons why we love the Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody:

1. Coreloft Insulation

Arc'teryx uses 60 g/m² of Coreloft Insulation in the Atom LT Hoody. Coreloft is short staple synthetic insulation meaning it is made up of many short fibers, less than two inches long. It is relatively lightweight and quit compressible, making it ideal for people who want a great insulating piece without the burden of a heavy jacket. Being a synthetic insulation, Coreloft retains insulating capabilities even when wet. The Atom LT Hoody would find itself at home on any backcountry touring trip.

2. Mobility and Breathability

The Atom LT Hoody has a form-fitting cut designed as an active-use insulation piece. Articulated elbows and stretch-knit cuffs allow for a great range of motion, allowing the jacket to move as you move while keeping it in place. The side panels and underarms of this jacket feature Polartec Power Stretch with Hardface Technology, providing unmatched breathability in high-heat areas. These features make the Atom LT a must have on your next time ice climbing trip.

3. Because it's Arc'teryx...

... and 30% off - 'nuff said. We love all things Arc'teryx. They put out quality gear time and again. The design and superior functionality of their gear continually impresses. In addition to putting out bomber gear, they have a great warranty and guarantee program.
