Superb jacket
Hi, I don't often do reviews, but I have Just received my atom jacket and what can I say it was cosy, lovely feel and totally comfortable to wear.
I feel confident this jacket could do everything the elements throw at it, I am very impressed.

Very poor quality
I purchased this jacket in July 2025 and have only worn it a handful of times, starting in October and November. Despite very limited use, a tear has developed along the seam without any misuse or external damage on my part.
Given the price and the fact that the jacket is only a few months old and has not even been worn for five months, I strongly believe this is due to a material or sewing defect. I would not expect this level of quality issue from an expensive jacket with such minimal wear.
I am very disappointed with the quality and would not recommend this product.

Warm, light and versatile
I love the jacket as it is very versatile, warm but very light. For every day use and under a hard shell when needed, it is a great addition to the jacket arsenal. The one issue I have is the zipper does not lock into place when zipped all they way up. I have noticed it will work it's way down if I have it zipped all the way to under my chin.

Broken zipper
Nice jacket but the hand pocket zipper broke and had to send it back for a replacement. Unfortunately I had to order a different color because my color choice was no longer available. Not really thrilled.

Great Jacket...best I have ever bought!
i don't write reviews often, but have to say this is the best piece of clothing i have bought in years. I love it and it is a real friend. You can wear it out socially as well as on a ten day hike as it packs down and weighs nothing. it drys quickly when wet but is not waterproof. I have bought three now and one for each of my boys who have left home. Great job and very impressed

Nice jacket, Terrible Zipper
Sizing was spot on. I'm 6' tall and 175 pounds and the Large fit me great. My only problem with the jacket, and this is a BIG problem, is the piece of crap zipper they use. It was very hard to get it to work. I have a Patagonia Nano Puff I purchased at the same time and their zipper is amazing, although I prefer the Arcteryx styling. Unfortunately, I had to return this jacket. Maybe it was a one-off problem, but I've heard from others that their zippers suck. Hey Arcteryx, upgrade to better zippers and I'll be your customer.

Hello John, thank you for taking the time to share feedback with us. We’re really glad to hear the sizing felt right for you, and we’re equally sorry that the zipper kept the jacket from performing the way it should. That’s not the experience we aim to deliver, and we understand how disappointing it is—especially when the rest of the design was hitting the mark. While this may have been an isolated issue, we take feedback like yours seriously and continually review component performance with our design teams. If you ever run into trouble with a new Arc’teryx product again, please reach out to us directly so we can help right away. We appreciate you giving the Atom a try and hope we’ll have the chance to earn your trust again.

Please make tall size of this excellent jacket
The perfect jacket - it just isn’t made to fit me. The Atom jacket is singularly excellent in design, build quality and materials. I love it. It temperature regulates with underarm panels, looks good, is designed so well, and is durable. However, the sleeve and body length on size L is too short. I would please request that they make this jacket in tall sizing to fit tall thin people. I am 6’6” 205lbs, and size L fits in the width of body, but the sleeve and body of jacket are too short. I used to weigh more and had a XXL that fit great in the arms length. This is one of the most popular jackets that Arcteryx makes, and I think offering tall sizing would make it be an option for more people to wear and enjoy.
