If you are a traveler you owe it to yourself to check out the Arcteryx Atom LT Jacket. Hell, even if you aren’t a traveler you should check out this jacket. This is one of the most versatile jackets that you will find, looking equally good while hiking as it does while roaming the streets of Amsterdam or London.
What sets this jacket apart from most is (1) its durability and (2) its packability. It’s no secret that Arcteryx makes a great jacket. They have for years. And this craftsmanship and attention to detail continues with the Atom LT. Featuring a moisture resistant outer shell and DWR fabric, this jacket can be packed down to a tiny size, while still being quite warm wind resistant.
For fall or winter weather this jacket is great for when you just need to pull something on and run outside to do something. But it is equally good in a rain shower or just while traveling on a plane or train. Side vents allow the jacket to breathe and the overall design of the jacket is actually pretty stylish. Most packable jackets end up looking like a one size fits all kind of deal. But the Arcteryx Atom LT Jacket has a great matte finish and a slim profile which is really modern. If I had to pick one jacket to travel with, this would be the one.

Features
- ATOM LT JACKET - This trim hybrid jacket is designed as an active-use insulation layer, providing vital core warmth with liberal mobility and breathability. Lightweight and compressible, the Atom LT Jacket features Coreloft insulation in the torso and arms. The side panels and underarms feature Polartec Power Stretch with Hardface Technology, delivering stretch mobility and breathability. A wind and moisture resistant outer shell extends stand-alone usability.
- ESSENTIAL PIECE - Fact: Every person at Head Office owns at least one Atom LT; most of the women have two. The reason: Coreloft insulation inside a light taffeta shell. All the comfort of a sleeping bag, but it feels weightless.
- WINDSHELL - The benefit of taffeta fabrics is their light, airy nature with an ability to turn aside wind. The Atom series have a taffeta outer lining that is treated with DWR (durable water resistant) finish to give them a long-lasting ability to shed moisture. In light precipitation, the Atom LT can be worn as an outer layer.
- NO SWEAT - Mid layers that can function as outer layers have varied degrees of weather shedding capability; they also have varied degrees of moisture management. In addition to being made of breathable Coreloft insulation, the Atom LT has breathable side panels of Polartec Power Stretch with Hardface technology to help regulate temperature during exertion.
- PACK LIGHT - Highly compressible, Atom pieces pack down into a tiny parcel of stored warmth. Store the jacket inside its own pocket, or tuck it into a sleeve or inside the hood if you are not restricted by space. A quick shake restores the original loft, time and again.
