Perfect for when the summer temperatures drop, the Men’s Atom SL Hoody in the colour Vitality II from Arc’teryx is an ideal super-light layer for your mountain adventures. Highly compressible and packable, this hoody is low bulk and sits well under an outer layer. The Tyono™ outer face is treated with a PFC-free DWR treatment so it repels light moisture, and the hoody is filled with Coreloft™ Compact 40 insulation to provide that much needed warmth when temperatures cool. Stretchy side panelling allows you plenty of freedom to move, bolstered further by the articulated elbows and gusseted underarms.
With an adjustable, low profile StormHood™, keep your head protected and when it’s no longer needed it can be stowed away. The drop back hem features an adjustable drawcord so you can lock in that warmth, or ventilate if you’ve warmed up. Mesh-lined sleeves also provide light protection and help to regulate temperature. Whatever the adventure, the Atom SL Hoody is ready, whether you choose to wear is as a base, or as a mid layer when extra warmth is needed.

Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
