Why It's a Big Deal
REI's Member Days event is live through March 23, featuring brand-new gear drops for spring, member-exclusive coupons, and past-season deals. What we're most excited to see is the number of Arc'teryx jackets that are on sale. These jackets are prized for their tech-first approach to weather and warmth, and only go on sale a couple of times per year. Right now, you can even get the beloved Atom hoodie for nearly $75 off the usual price.
The Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Hoody is on sale for $226, a rare 24% discount from its normal retail price of $300. This hoodie is available in three colors on sale at this price, including blue, red, and yellow, in sizes small through 3XL. Two others—green and tan—are also available for $256. Sizes do seem to be moving swiftly, as expected, but if the one you need sells out, you may be able to find it either at Zappos or on Amazon in select colors.

The Atom Insulated Hoody is optimized for low weight, good range of motion, breathability, and mild weather resistance, which makes it a great choice for year-round wear. You can wear it on its own during the warmer months and use it as a comfy mid-layer during the winter.
Its shell and interior liner are made from 20-denier ripstop nylon for optimal durability, and they’re both treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish. The Atom is stuffed with synthetic Coreloft insulation for extra warmth on chilly days, but it still breathes well, so you won’t roast if you’re trekking hard. It also retains its insulating power when damp, so a little rain won’t leave you freezing. An adjustable insulated hood adds protection from the elements, and the jacket’s articulated construction gives you good freedom of movement.

What Shoppers Are Saying
The Atom is a smash hit with REI shoppers. One called it the “perfect weight” and said it “breathes well.” They also said it’s “super lightweight and packs well.”
“Light insulation that’s warm when paired with a base layer in cool temps but breathes well in mild temps all the same,” they added.
Arc’teryx gear is beloved for its thoughtful designs and robust construction, and the Atom Insulated Hoody is a great example of what the brand does best: It’s a true all-season layer that’s comfortable, versatile, and built tough. This jacket doesn't see discounts often, so jump on it now before it’s gone.
