Why It's a Big Deal
Now is one of the rare times of year that you'll find various Arc'teryx jackets like the Beta SL and the Proton on sale at places like REI and Zappos. These jackets are prized for their tech-first approach to weather and warmth, and in the time Men's Journal has covered them, we've found that when any of them dip in price, sizes sell very quickly. One of the brand's most popular styles, the Atom, is about $75 off, and if you hurry, you can still get one.
The Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Hoody is on sale for $226, a rare 24% discount from its normal retail price of $300. This hoodie is available in three colors on sale at this price, including blue, red, and yellow, in sizes small through 2XL. Two others—green and tan—are also available for $256. Sizes are selling out rapidly, as expected, but if the one you need sells out, you may be able to find it either at Zappos or on Amazon in select colors.

The Atom Insulated Hoody is optimized for low weight, good range of motion, breathability, and mild weather resistance, which makes it a great choice for year-round wear. You can wear it on its own during the warmer months and use it as a comfy mid-layer during the winter.
Its shell and interior liner are made from 20-denier ripstop nylon for optimal durability, and they’re both treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish. The Atom is stuffed with synthetic Coreloft insulation for extra warmth on chilly days, but it still breathes well, so you won’t roast if you’re trekking hard. It also retains its insulating power when damp, so a little rain won’t leave you freezing. An adjustable insulated hood adds protection from the elements, and the jacket’s articulated construction gives you good freedom of movement.

What Shoppers Are Saying
The Atom is a smash hit with REI shoppers. One called it the “perfect weight” and said it “breathes well.” They also said it’s “super lightweight and packs well.”
“Light insulation that’s warm when paired with a base layer in cool temps but breathes well in mild temps all the same,” they added.
Arc’teryx gear is beloved for its thoughtful designs and robust construction, and the Atom Insulated Hoody is a great example of what the brand does best: It’s a true all-season layer that’s comfortable, versatile, and built tough. This jacket doesn't see discounts often, so jump on it now before it’s gone.
