Reviews

Warm and stretchy

"My daughter loves the fit and color of this jacket. It’s just the right amount of warmth for chilly days without being bulky or heavy."

Michelle T. (5/5)

My favourite except for the pillin

"I absolutely love this jacket. I use it for winter running. The sleeves are long however are perfect for range of motion. Only giving it a 4 out of five as it’s only 4 months old certainly not worn everyday and the fabric is pilling by the pockets. It already is looking well used and it hasn’t been. Would love to purchase the 1. 0 however I am concerned about pilling. Has any one else experienced this . Other than that I LOVE the jacket"

NOVIA K. (4/5)

Love this!

"This jacket is great for early summer mornings when it is still cool out. Very soft and snuggly."

Heather R. (5/5)

So warm!

"I love this jacket! I have the Arcteryx atom and I like this jacket better."

Andrea E. (5/5)

Great fit, but the material doesn't hold up :/

"This is a hard review to write because when I got this jacket, it quickly became my new favorite jacket, and I have a lot. The fit was perfect, loved the color, it was lightweight and breathable, yet warm. But after having it only a few months, the fabric started to pill and fray all over. On the front, down the sleeves, on the back, I thought maybe it was from where I wore my backpack, but it's even on the sleeves. And frankly, even if it WAS from a backpack, aren't these jackets designed to be worn on adventures? It looks like I have had it for years already. I have had Arc'teryx Atom Hoody's, and I have had them for years, and this never happened to the fabric. To basically hit the same pricepoint and be a similar style, the quality is sadly not there - this fabric is not keeping up with my active lifestyle :( But I love the look and feel."

Tyese (3/5)

Love it!

"One of those purchases where I wonder what did I do before I got this?! Love this jacket. Very comfy, soft material, lightweight, medium warmth, great on its own or for layering, and it's now my go-to jacket. I have slightly wider than average shoulders due to lifting and these fit perfectly. I am trying to resist the urge to get another one in a different color!"

Sierra R. (5/5)

Would Recommend

"Love! Super soft material, great for layering, or as an outer layer for semi-cold days. Have been happy with how water repellent it is, so far. I'm 5'9, female,140 lbs, and bought the women's Medium, yellow. I like the M size, there is just enough space for a few layers underneath. I'm a climber, and have proportionately larger shoulders, and typically struggle to find women's clothing that fits my shoulders. However, I have full range of motion with my shoulders in this jacket-yay!!"

Shelby K. (5/5)

Great weight, warmth and look

"I love my new hoodie but the only thing is that the fabric already ripped by getting snagged on something. Not a big deal since I added some tenacious tape but would be cool if there was a lightweight fabric that is tear resistant."

Susan M. (4/5)

Love it

"This is my second jacket of this style. I find myself grabbing for it first, no matter how cold. Very comfortable and a nice fit. I purchased smalls in both and I can still fit a mid-weight sweater under it. Highly recommend. Please get more colors!"

Sheila M. (5/5)

Size up

"Originally ordered a small, which is what size I had in a different older Black Diamond Hoody. Had to return it for a medium to comfortably wear anything besides just a tshirt underneath. The jacket is super comfortable and light, and is about the right amount of warmth for what I was looking for. (A versatile jacket that could still be worn as an outer layer on warmer snowy days. ) Zippers seem a little flimsy, which makes me worried about long term durability."
