Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoody vs Arc'teryx Atom Hoody

Both are the same Atom Hoody design in different cuts: the women's Insulated Hoody and the men's Atom Hoody share Coreloft 60 synthetic insulation, a trim fit, a hood and a packable build. The men's version has a larger, better-documented review base and a newer FC0 DWR finish; the women's version is slightly lighter and cut for a female frame. Reviewers like both as light, packable midlayers but warn they are not stand-alone winter shells and that the face fabric can pill and wear. Buy the cut that fits you; step up to a shell or a warmer jacket if you need real wind and rain protection.

• Choose the Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoody if you want the women's cut of the Atom with the same Coreloft warmth in a slightly lighter package.
• Choose the Arc'teryx Atom Hoody Men's if you want the men's trim fit, the widest size run and the updated FC0 DWR finish.
