Product description

Arc'teryx Atom Jacket - Black Sapphire

Productinformatie  

The Arc’teryx Atom Jacket – Black Sapphire is a technically insulated hybrid mid/outer jacket that blends warmth, breathability, and wind resistance. Thanks to its balanced construction, it can function as a standalone jacket in mild cold or as an insulating midlayer under a shell in harsher conditions.

Key Features

• Insulation: Coreloft™ synthetic fill (~ 60 g/m²) in the torso and sleeves to deliver reliable warmth, even when slightly damp. 

• Shell / face fabric: Combination of 20D nylon (light ripstop) with stretch side panels to ensure ventilation and mobility. 

• Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to shed light precipitation (e.g. drizzle, mist) without excessive weight. 

• Stretch panels: typically located on side panels to help manage heat build-up and allow freedom of movement. 

• Fit: athletic / tailored cut, with a drop-tail hem that helps block cold air from creeping up the back. 

• Pocket configuration: two fleece-lined hand pockets with zippers, plus an inner pocket. 

Benefits for the User

• Thermal reliability in varied conditions: The Coreloft insulation maintains performance even when the jacket becomes slightly damp — synthetic fill doesn’t lose loft as easily as down in moisture.

• Breathable and heat-managing: Stretch side panels help vent excess heat during activity, preventing overheating.

• Wind protection and light weather defense: The shell plus DWR layer provide a barrier against wind and light precipitation without causing bulk.

• Versatile use: Effective as an outer layer on cool or transitional days, or as an insulating midlayer under a hard shell in colder or wetter conditions.

• Compact & packable: Its lightweight design makes it easy to fold up and stash in a backpack.

• Functional and comfortable: Pockets and the fit are designed with real-world use in mind, without compromising aesthetics or comfort.

• Skiers or snowboarders in milder cold, either as an outer jacket or layering piece
