The Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie in Sea Salt functions as an indispensable windshell that balances ultralight packability with the ruggedness required for alpine environments. Constructed from Tyono™ 30D nylon mini-ripstop, this hoodie provides impressive mechanical stretch and breathability, allowing it to move dynamically during technical cruxes while effectively cutting the chill on breezy belays. When conditions clear, the entire garment stows into its own chest pocket and features a reinforced clip-in loop for effortless attachment to a harness or pack, ensuring reliable weather protection is always within immediate reach.

Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie Key Features

• Fabricated from Tyono™ 30D lightweight mechanical stretch nylon for wind resistance and durability
• Treated with a sustainable FC0 DWR finish to repel light moisture without added PFAS
• Single chest pocket doubles as a compact stuff sack for easy storage and transport
• Helmet-compatible StormHood™ provides comprehensive coverage without restricting visibility
• Articulated patterning and a fitted profile eliminate bulk for unrestricted climbing mobility
• Elasticised cuffs and an adjustable hem drawcord to seal out sudden gusts
• Reinforced clip-in loop allows the packed jacket to be securely tethered to gear

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Multi-pitch climbing and breezy belays where a lightweight wind barrier is essential
• High-output activities like trail running or fast-packing in variable mountain weather
• Use as a versatile emergency layer that "disappears" in your pack until needed
• Minimalist travellers who require a highly packable, crease-resistant outer shell

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This hoodie is designed with a "Fitted" profile, sitting close to the body to improve thermal efficiency and reduce snagging
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your usual size for a trim fit over a base layer
  
• The low-profile cuffs are designed to sit comfortably under gloves or watch straps without bunching

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a low/cool setting with a double rinse to ensure all detergent is removed
• Tumble dry on a gentle low heat to help reactivate the FC0 DWR water-repellent finish
• Wash dark and light colours separately and avoid the use of fabric softeners
• Do not iron or dry-clean, as high temperatures can damage the mechanical stretch and nylon fibres

Our Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie FAQs

1. Is the Squamish Hoodie waterproof?
   It is a windshell treated with DWR, meaning it will shed light drizzle and spray, but it is not intended for use as a primary rain jacket in heavy downpours.

2. How small does it pack down?
   Once stowed in its chest pocket, it is roughly the size of a large orange, making it one of the most space-efficient layers in the Arc'teryx range.

3. Can I wear this over a helmet?
   Yes, the StormHood™ is specifically patterned to fit over most climbing and cycling helmets while maintaining a secure, adjustable fit.

4. Is the fabric fragile because it’s so light?
   Despite being only 51gsm, the Tyono™ 30D mini-ripstop weave is surprisingly resilient against the "bumps and drags" typical of granite or limestone climbing.
