Lacks pockets
This lightweight hoodie doesn’t have enough pockets. It has one single chest pocket and no more I don’t wear it much because I hate carrying items in my pants pockets. I wish I had returned it.
arcteryx.com response
Hello there, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Squamish Hoody. We can understand how having only a single chest pocket would feel limiting, especially if you prefer to keep essentials off your pant pockets. The Squamish is intentionally designed as an ultralight, minimalist windshell, built to disappear when you’re moving fast and to pack down incredibly small. To keep the weight low and the fabric quiet and supple, the design focuses on simplicity, which is why it features just the one low‑profile chest pocket that also doubles as its stuff sack. While it may not offer the storage you were hoping for, your feedback is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with our team as we continue refining this piece.

Fantastic quality
I use it for climbing in windy conditions . It protects my back really well and keeps me from catching cold

Hassle Free Layering
This hoody is built for abuse, extremely packable, easy to put on and take off while climbing in the alpine or at the crag.

Sizing issue
This is a strange review but I write to maybe help others. I have 20 years of Arcteryx gear that I absolutely love- usually. And that includes the old Squamish hoody which I still wear most of the time when a breathable shell is needed. But Arcteryx has decided that the fit needs revising so that size medium stays the same and Large is now larger. I am a standard fit jacket, but a large fitted jacket in the old system. I have found 2 items now that are fitted in the new sizing system and they are gigantic on me. At 5'11" and 180lbs, they are way too long in the arms and hem, way too large overall so it feels like I am wearing a parachute. Then I tried the medium and yep- too restrictive and tight. So if this is not your problem, you should absolutely get this jacket, it may be Arcteryx's most versatile. Not sure why the new sizing system was introduced, but it just doesn't work on some items for a guy like me.

Best value to weight ratio
The Squamish has the best value to weight ratio. It fits in my backpack and barely adds weight yet when it’s windy or an evening chill comes on it’s right there to help. I’ve worn it in broiling sun as a sun shield too. It’s great gear for the California lifestyle.
