    The Atom LT is my favorite travel jacket. I blacked out the logo with a sharpie 😉

        It’s great stuff. I have a few items but have no idea what they are called. I most recently got a light waterproof jacket for my trip to Ireland back in May. Of course it didn’t rain a drop for the entire trip. Probably the nicest weather I have ever experienced there. But that’s the way it goes.

          I just bought a vintage (2006) Gamma MX hoodie from Vinted for next to nothing (£40).

          The taped seam at the bottom has been stitched in place, and it’s a little faded around the seams but it should be great for hikes in crap weather without worrying too much about it.

          I’ll throw it in the wash with some Arcteryx soap and replace the DWR when it gets here then throw some pics up.

            I have a fairly good sized collection of Arc’teryx, I’m in BC so it was a local brand. I bought all of my stuff before COVID. The brand has completely lost its way and the quality has nose dived on a lot of the products since they were bought out. It’s basically a hype beast brand and here in BC it’s basically just considered a flex to wear it to show how much money you spent.

            Patagonia is a better brand and FAR better warranty for 99% of the population. There’s very few people who need the weight savings from Arc’teryx.

                Looking toasty @PJ and that looks like the perfect piece for Norway.

                I bought this Veilance Mionn for our Norway trip but I think it will get a lot of use this fall.
                It is a hair lighter than an Atom hoody but obviously a different cut.

                It fits a hair large but will be good for layering. It also has these massive chest pockets than can fit anything that my Bellroy sling can. Great design.

                    @nrtphotos I think you have to be quite careful about what Arcteryx items you buy these days in terms of quality. After my Gamma MX purchase today, which is made in Canada, I’m interested in looking back at some vintage stuff.

                    The brand is not too well known where I am (in the UK) so its still more of an “if you know, you know” thing over here.

                      @Anesthetist , that looks great, very stylish and subtle.

                      @PJ , interested how the LEAF version compares to the standard. I’m guessing much more durable for military applications.

                        @Megatron1505 I think only the Alpha SV is made in Canada, that’s it. The brand has become a bit of a running joke in BC, it’s mainly worn by young kids or office guys trying to flex their wealth. Obviously you will see it on the trails and outdoors but it’s basically a status symbol in BC. The laminated seams are absolute trash for longevity, I will never buy another jacket with them. Doesn’t matter how you treat them or wash them either. The warranty and customer service is abysmal now too.

                          @nrtphotos , that’s quite sad to hear, but I guess when a brand which is known for quality and dependability lets those things slip then this is what happens.

                          I haven’t experienced anything bad myself yet, in fact my Zeta SL which all the Redditors say is “trash” due to using Paclite Pro has stood up for almost three years of use now.

                          For me, I’ll enjoy what I have and most likely look for bargains on the secondary market of older items if I want to get anything else.

                            That’s a really cool jacket/hoody. Kinda like coach jacket vibe
