Summary:
Somewhere around 2014-2015, the thin down jackets appeared on each of the Swedish city streets. Every other middle-aged soon owned one. Functionality had been discovered in more than dedicated ski and climbing circles. The down jacket has also for me been a faithful companion, but with physical activity always gone on and off and supplemented with an outer shell when it risked getting wet or making me sweaty and thus losing its insulating function.
Atom LT is the Canadian brand Arcteryx solution to the problem.
When the light and lightweight synthetic-filled jacket (315g) is put on, it feels like being enclosed by a pleasantly warm and dry cloud, I fell in love quickly. I use Medium, is 181cm and 75kg, and experience the size as slightly large in width, it is not a completely tight model. When used during physical activity in freezing temperatures, I wait for the trapped, damp feeling to emerge, but it fails partly due to ventilating panels on the sides of the jacket. The outer fabric may be able to absorb the breath as effectively as Patagonia's counterpart Nano air, but resist wear and tear and Swedish winter winds considerably better. The jacket has succeeded in becoming a favorite garment in a variety of situations, but the unique thing is that it is actually retained and can withstand moisture in a way that makes it become No. 1 even on high-intensity top tours. Basically, all previous meck with 1 to 4 layers going off and on is over! A potential disadvantage is that it cannot be packed into its own pocket too hot days, which is ultimately a marginal problem, since it is still retained on the majority of the Swedish mountain's winter days. The really windy days, the hood can be pulled directly over the helmet and the high collar then helps to protect large parts of cold-exposed faces from frostbite.
For many years I have used different "intermediate layers" and they are happy to follow on top tours, in lift systems, on fishing trips and to the plug. Most recently, Patagonia's competitor was used for the Arcteryx atom, Nano Air, which managed to breathe but went to a complaint and got a short life due to an excessively weak outer fabric. Since the day I became "with Atom", my partner has reluctantly accepted that it is in principle over the days when I could choose to dress in more appearance-oriented, non-functional jackets. It remains to be seen what can, if possible, reduce this flagship? Fishing hooks, steel edges, a really strong falfelsås or possibly a gas flame from a storm kitchen ...
