The Arc’teryx Atom Hoodie in Spotlight functions as a core insulation piece that maintains thermal efficiency across a vast range of alpine and urban environments. Constructed with Coreloft™ Compact 60 synthetic insulation, this hoodie stays warm even when exposed to moisture, offering a more resilient alternative to traditional down for high-output activities. The outer shell uses Tyono™ 20 fabric to balance wind resistance with air permeability, while stretch fleece side panels facilitate heat regulation and mobility, making it a dependable choice for solo wear or as a low-profile midlayer in harsher conditions.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Alpine climbing and crag sessions where a durable, non-restrictive warmth layer is required
• Backcountry touring and wet-weather missions as a high-performance synthetic midlayer
• Everyday use in shifting UK weather thanks to its quick-drying and wind-resistant properties
• High-intensity activities where moisture management is as important as insulation

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This hoodie features a "Fitted" cut, patterned to stay close to the body to eliminate bulk
• We recommend choosing your usual size for a trim, technical fit that sits perfectly under a hardshell
• The articulated patterning and gusseted underarms ensure the garment does not lift during overhead reaches
• Dual hem adjusters allow you to seal out drafts and customise the length for a secure silhouette

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a gentle, low-heat cycle using a technical detergent to maintain the DWR finish
• Tumble dry on a gentle low setting to help the synthetic insulation regain its loft
• Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these will degrade the technical fibres and coatings
• Perform a double rinse to ensure all soap residue is removed from the breathable membranes

Our Arc’teryx Atom Hoodie FAQs

1. How does the Atom compare to a down jacket?
   Unlike down, the synthetic Coreloft™ insulation continues to provide warmth even if it gets damp, making it much more reliable in the unpredictable, wet conditions of the UK.

2. Is it windproof?
   The Tyono™ 20 face fabric is highly wind-resistant, though it is designed to be slightly air-permeable to prevent you from overheating during steep ascents.

3. Can I pack it away easily?
   Yes, the materials are highly compressible; the jacket can be tucked into its own hood or a small space in your pack without damaging the insulation.

4. What is the "No Slip Zip"?
   This is a specific Arc'teryx feature where the zipper teeth have "speed bumps" near the collar to prevent the jacket from accidentally unzipping during movement.
