- Is the Cerium SV Hoody warm enough for below-freezing weather?
- Yes. The 1,000-fill down and synthetic panels make it one of Arc'teryx's warmest down hoodies, suited to well below freezing when worn over a midlayer. It is too warm for mild weather or hard climbing.
- Can I wear it in rain or wet snow?
- No. The shell is not waterproof and only lightly wind-resistant. Wear a hardshell over it in wet or windy conditions; the Coreloft panels only add margin in damp cold, they do not make it weatherproof.
- How does it compare with the regular Cerium Hoody?
- The SV is warmer and heavier, with more down and synthetic reinforcement in the shoulders, cuffs and hood. The standard Cerium is lighter and better for active use; the SV is for static cold.
- Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?
- Yes. The hood is sized to go over a helmet, and owners note it cinches down well for warmth at belays.
- How should I wash it?
- Use a down-specific detergent, wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener, which can strip the down's loft.
- What sizes are available?
- Both men's and women's versions come in XS through XXL. The fit is athletic and trim, so size up if you plan to layer thick midlayers underneath.
