great cardigan
I must love this hoody as I have several in different colors. It is a great piece for layering with a hard or softshell jacket, and great stand alone piece for mild weather. Not at all windproof or water repellent, but very warm if you aren't dealing with those issues. Although Arcteryx is now making most of their items in China, not Canada, the quality seems to have remained the same. It runs a tad smaller than other brands, so go up in size if you want a little room and are on the upper cusp of a size. Pilling is an issue with my black colored hoody, we will see if this is the case for this color. My other colors don't pill, but I don't wear them as much as my black one. Nice item otherwise.

Arc'teryx
This jacket does run small. I'm 5'9 and I got a large and it fits well except for being shorter than I like. I would have gotten a medium if I had known that the only difference in size was how it would fit, not how much of my torso it covered. Overall, it's incredibly warm and I love the color.

Great hoody!
I have this hoody in a number of colours (raisin, basmati, green tea, ember, fuscia) and love it. I'm 5'7" and about 135 lbs and wear a large as I wanted to be able to wear a layer underneath. They are lightweight, cozy and warm, but definitely not wind or water resistant. They are great on an average fall or spring day, but only as a nice layering piece for colder days. They are nice and fluffy when new, but do tend to flatten down over time. I wash mine on the delicate cycle with zero and then lay flat to dry which probably keeps them looking new longer and avoids most of the pilling. I've found that the lighter and/or brighter colours tend to look new longer, while the darker colours (e.g. raisin) look a bit faded over time. All in all, a bit pricey (given that I like my clothes to look new forever!) but love having them as a part of my wardrobe!

Great Hoody
This is one of my favorite hoodies. The fit is great, not bulky, but streamlined. But not tight. The hood is a cool shape, it fits very well and snug under my snowboarding helmet, without being too bulky. There isn't much wind protection, but its a great as a light jacket or layering under your snow jacket. The fabric is very breathable too.

Love!
I purchased this to wear as a midlayer for skiing, but it is so comfortable and cosy that I don't want to take it off. It's stylish, too, so I can wear around town. I have noticed some pilling on the sleeves after just a few wearings, which is a bummer, but I still love the hoody. I bought the darker blue color and it is very attractive. I like that it doesn't look like a regular fleece - more like a sweater

Live in it all winter...
I have the lighter color and absolutely love it! I basically wear it all winter. The quality is great and it feels so soft. Highly recommend it. I will be buying another when this one wears out. Although, I have had it for 3 years and it still looks great considering how much I wear it.

Pros:This fleece jacket is fit and warm. I could wear it in any occasion, like hiking, travelling and shopping.
cons: It will be better if this jacket can have wind resistant.

Once again great quality
Arcteryx never fails to deliver. This may be one of the best Arcteryx items I have owned. Perfect.

nice jacket
Comfortable jacket.
But the Jackets have a problem.
Jackets do not stop the wind.
I feel the cold wind blows a lot.

Great looking fleece
Bought this for my wife and the fit is perfect. She loved the color Wisteria and the fleece is warm and comforable. Definitely form fitting!

too short
The coat is great quality, but unfortunatly it was too short and I had to return it. I loved the purple color and the material the jacket is made out of, but I'm 5'7" and the Medium barely even made it to my waist. The M size is not consistent with other Arc'teryx coats I've tried on.

Couldn't get any better than Arc'teryx!
I love Arc'teryx and almost everything I own is from them. Unfortunately, I have to give this product only 4 stars but not because of performance. I bought this hoody in the raisin color a couple years ago and it started to pill almost immediately. I also have a cat and I can never seem to "roll" the darn hairs off of it. It's as if they are permanently stuck to the fabric resulting in a hoody that looks like I just rubbed my cat all over my coat before leaving the house (I only wear it around the house now). Besides those darn little fabric balls (I have tried shaving them off with one of those pill removers and it just doesn't seem to work that well) and cat hairs, I love this hoody to death. The quality is fantastic as usual with anything from Arc'teryx. I wear a size S in athletic fitting items from Arc'teryx and a size XS in relaxed fitting items (5'2", 125 lbs, athletic build). A size S fits perfectly (I usually only wear a t-shirt underneath it). So, if you need something awesome and great looking to wear on those cooler days and nights, buy this hoody! You'll be happy you did!

Awesome!
I bought this after trying it on at a local store. I LOVED it and the price couldn't be beat. It's extremely comfortable and I wouldn't leave home without it.

Very Nice
Very functional and great looking. Great for layering or on it's own when it's not windy.
March 29, 2010
worth the price
It's a very soft, warm and cushy jacket even though it's not windproof. Therefore it's not really a functional layer but it certainly keeps you warm. It's definitely not cheap but it's worth the money.

Fabulous
Everyone should own one of these. Arc'teryx clothing is well crafted, study stuff. I just wish there were more colors!
March 11, 2010
Great
This is a great hoody. My only complaint is the price. Watch for when it goes on sale. Also, it isn't windproof, but works great as layer under something that is.

Good buy
Great shirt, great price, Arcteryx sizing chart seems consistently true to size.

Altrec is great but the hoody is all right
Big fan of Arcteryx. For the price, I expected a better quality. The hoody rides up. It is a lint magnet. I got it in black. It pills really quickly.

Cozy
I LOVE this hoodie! It fits nicely, is comfortable and is so soft. I've worn it to work and just hanging around the house to keep cozy. I'm looking forward to wearing it a lot more next Fall and Winter!

My favourite hoody!
I have this hoody in a number of colors (raisin, fuschia, basmati, green tea and am just waiting for ember)and seem to wear one of them almost every day. The colors are great, they're warm yet very light and work great alone or under a jacket. When needed, I put it through the delicate machine wash cycle, then hand rinse and lay flat to dry. Only downside is that they will pill and loose their original "fluffiness" over time...but then most things don't last forever!
January 13, 2010
It was perfect
Great jacket the Medium fit my daughter perfectly and she loved the color "Raisin" the service was really fast I love ordering from Altrec.

Love this top
I love this top, it keeps you extremely warm for the weight. I've also worn the patagonia capilene heavy weight underwear, and this top is much warmer than the patagonia stuff. The fit is pretty tight, size S is usually loose on me, and the size S here is quite snug.

Buy this jacket!
Great product - consistent with the quality one expects from Arc'teryx. Warm and cozy but still technical. Very versatile - can wear around town as stand alone jacket or use as a warm technical layer under a shell. Love the jacket and love dealing with Altrec!

Arc'teryx Hoody
I have had this jacket 12 months and love it. It is extremely warm but I have been really disappointed with the way it has pilled right from the first few wearings. It spoils the smart appearance of the jacket therefore making it less versatile.
