Thank you so much for the thorough review. The Atom LT was my first Arc’teryx jacket (I followed a recommendation from the Wirecutter folks in NYT and got it in ‘21). I have a question about it I hope you could answer. With the exception of one item, I grok this jacket - it fits perfectly, extremely comfortable, looks really nice - all that. The thing that does not make sense to me is the fleece side panels. From the get go I was feeling the chill when I’d put the jacket on (had no idea about the panels until I started watching your videos). Like yourself, I do not scale glaciers or go on multi-day hikes (at most a few miles’ semi intense walk to get me steps in). I do not jog (I am kind to my knees) so my workouts are confined to the gym. It sometimes feels to me that in order for me NOT to need a shell for the Atom LT the temperature outside needs to be so warm that the jacket feels too hot and in red to wear something lighter. If it gets to be the right temperature for it (50s?) I need to either layer with a shell (I just got a Gamma Lightweight hoody that works perfectly) - which is fine, but I am trying to understand the circumstances under which I could use the jacket on its own, and not as a mid layer :-) Very curious as to your thoughts here. And please continue posting the videos the content is great and because you are sharing something you clearly love, it is very enjoyable to watch.
@@sammartin7467 Don't worry, I'm working on some things. Instagram, facebook, website and other companies. A lot more RUclips too. We'll see what happens 🙂
Hey man! Just a quick tip. Be more organised when you speak. Have different categories to talk about, size, fit, functionality, specs etc. It gets kinda messy when you improvise and ramble. :)
Actually "me and my" is a common American English phrase. - it's to emphasize his jacket "problem". It should also be noted that while there are established rules for any language, language naturally evolves over time.
That's Awesome. Thank You! I know that the grammar is incorrect, but I just thought it sounded better, and I wanted to emphasize the "Jackets", and not the "I" in My jackets and I. :)
I enjoy your reviews the most because they are fun and lighthearted but informative
Great! Thanks for your support. I have fun doing this.

This jacket is a masterpiece.
Great review! Thanks for posting!
Hey, is the jacket you reviewed here a New 2020 version, or the Older version? Thanks!
It's the newer version.
i wanna buy myself this jacket so badly but at $320 CAD it's a big decision haha
For cold winter is possible to wear a proton fl under it?
Yes, you could. The Proton FL is pretty much similar to the Atom LT, only lighter and more breathable. The Atom is warmer than the Proton LT
almost to 1000, lets get this guy monetized so he can buy more jackets! TY Good stuff, amazing jackets
Thank You for your support!
I agree. But what happens when he buys all of their jackets?

My jackets and I. I can't believe you made a RUclips channel based on bad grammar
I know, It just sounded better to Me for some reason...... But, It got your Attention. Right? So .......
