The thorium ar, while cheaper, heavier, and with less impressive down fill, does a better job of holding down distribution more evenly due to its more robust fabric. The thorium's outer fabric also seems to help with warmth by being less breathable to wind. Due to the nature of down, breathability should be less important than holding in warmth. High exertion should be for synthetics

The fabric complaint extends to the outer durability, such as using it as an outer layer on cold days without precipitation, as well as anchoring down insulation. Despite the 850 fill that is generous, I have found that insulation in the elbows and shoulders tends to clump in the portions of the baffle that contract the least, creating cold spots in areas of high movement. This is true even when wearing a hard shell. Cold air is easily funneled through

 Due to the nature of down, breathability should be less important than holding in warmth. High exertion should be for synthetics.

To make this jacket far better, why not use the Arato 30 outer fabric? This might add some weight, but it would substantially improve the usability of this jacket.

Warm, but not much warmer than Thorium AR

It's a gorgeous piece, the fit is amazing, and the warmth to weight ratio is absurd. Total weight is 25 ounces, with a whopping 11 ounces of the best down available anywhere. I especially appreciate that there's down on both sides of the hand pockets, and it's cut lower than my butt which is real cozy. I also use an Arc'Teryx cerium SV hoody for not quite as cold trips

I’m trying to find the right summit/winter camp puffy. The online reviews tend to be limited to midlayer puffies, and after going through a ton of company websites, I figured I’d like to see what people actually use before I pull the trigger on anything. 

So question: what summit-camp puffy (aka goes over everything puffy) do you use? And what characteristics/features do you find important in it, apart warmth and weight? 

(Price is less of a consideration - I’m aware that these puffiest will cost money.)

Additional detail. Potential use: 1) when camping in cold temperatures to wear in camp, e.g., last year we backpacked in ADK in winter without campfire or 2) to wear on top of regular layers when not moving, e.g., going to mt Washington soon. But also since it’s expensive considering that my activities will, hopefully, ramp up over the next couple of years. I bought Mountain Hardware Phantom, but am having second thoughts and doing additional research while I can still return it.

Edit: I want to thank you all for sharing your preferences and the level of detail and discussion! I’m a gear nerd so while I won’t directly respond to most just yet, I promise you that I will now look up all your suggestions online for pricing and sizing and availability and hope to buy one of them! 

This is a truly amazing, experienced, and welcoming community - thank you!

Summit Puffy: What you got?

One of the most comfortable insulation pieces I've ever worn. I've been able to wear this in a ridiculous range of temperatures due to the breathability.

To start, I do apologise if a similar post has been posted before - I am new here!

I got this idea because when I first started getting into Arc'teryx, I was a student with limited budget. Therefore, I thought to myself "If I only get these pieces, then I would be set." Of course, as many of you would know, the temptation is hard to resist. I figure it would be interesting to see what gears other people value, while it may also serve as a good buying guide for people getting into the brand. 

**So, the question is, what 3 pieces of gears would you recommend/deem as essential for someone starting out.** You may provide justification for why you have selected the specified gear. Please do not simply choose the most expensive, the best specced gear as it can be unrealistic for many starters. 

If you are unsure, you may follow the format of 1) A shell 2) An insulation piece 3) Any other. I figure that would cover multiple different climates and intended purpose. 

My choices are a bit generic but here they are: 

1) Beta LT

2) Atom LT /Proton LT

3) Gamma LT

If you could only have 3 pieces, what would they be?

Been getting into overnight camping in the Swiss mountains where I’ve gotten down to -10C (15F) so far. Advice was to get a good down jacket for times at camp and to layer in sleeping bag. I got the Cerium SV without actually knowing the brand, but it fit the bill as heavy yet compactable. 

The first time I used in action I had reached my campsite and by the time my tent and gear was set up was very cold indeed. But when I put on my Cerium, my sweet sweet lord, I was snug as a bug!!! 

Plus packs up nice when space (and weight!) are at a premium. Not to mention that also fashionable enough for urban use on those cold winter days ;) 

Savior at cold campsite!!

 I realize that 90%, at the minimum, of the down used in Arc'teryx is considered to be down clumps, while the other 10% are these small feathers, which have minimal insulation. However, aesthetically, as well as cost-wise, it feels like it’s an awful shame to have small feathers constantly poking out of the stitching.

In terms of fit, the new model for 2017, in a small, fits incredibly well. I am 5'11 and 150 lbs and the jacket fits well to my body, with no loose or too snug areas. The new waist band synches are incredibly useful in maintaining a good torso fit when extending your arms above your shoulders. The fitted elbow collars are great for rolling up your jacket's arms to the elbow, and synch around baselayers well

I recently discovered that I was not allergic to down, after an early childhood allergy diagnosis! The simplicity, design, and the very stylish nocturnal color were all big reasons to get this jacket. I had also considered the EOS and feathered friends version of a lightweight jacket, but the placement of coreloft meant greater versatility with exercise in a wet eastern State. 

This jacket packs an incredible punch with warmth. Simply hiking down hills in 20F, with low effort can cause me to overheat. But for low intensity walking, resting on a mountaintop, or city life, this jacket thrives in cold, dry weather. I have yet to experience this jacket with downhill skiing, but I’m sure it will thrive with an appropriate base layer

Amazing Jacket with one minus feature

The Cerium LT is my go to jacket for trips to the backwoods, downtown or a downhill ski trip.  I have had many down jackets from European competitors and none of them stack up to the weight/warmth ratio, fill power (loft of the down), detail for construction, outdoor performance and the overall design of this Arcteryx mid weight down jacket-it is best in this class of mid weight down jackets.   My experience is that I wear the Cerium LT more than any other jacket in the fall and winter in The Netherlands' moderate climate.   When I traveled to Canada (pre-Covid) for work in the dead of Ontario winters (-20 C), I really needed my Cerium SV (Canada is too cold for a native Californian)

  Arcteryx stand behind their products and this is by far the most innovative lightweight jackets in the premium technical mid weight down segment of the market.  I am 6' 1" or 186 cm, waist 33, broad shoulders and thin athletic build and the Large fits perfect..

it is an athletic fit and won't work if you have a large frame or big belly...or size up then

Best down jacket for cold dry weather or mid layer

I bought the previous Cerium SV last year and it was stated 100% goose down (850) on the website. I like the lightweight of the jacket except its rubbish zipper. I bought the newer version 2 months ago and thought it would remain the same quality with an improved zipper (since there were tons of complaints about this issue below). However, apparently Arcteryx decided to ignore the customer feedbacks (still uses the same zipper) and the quality even hits its new low by using Synthetic insulation instead of full goose down

Caution! It is no longer 100% Goose Down filling.

 Nothing my sewing machine couldn't fix but that's the price for this awesome light but warm cozy jacket.

Love this jacket

The Voormi High Hood E is a ¼ zip jacket featuring a merino wool-polyester construction, kangaroo-style front pocket, and a huge balaclava hood. All designed to keep you protected in poor weather. It features a highly durable and abrasion-resistant hardened face fabric that does the best job at repelling water and wind that we've seen in our testing so far. If you like to get out in poor weather or are looking for a super warm fleece because you run cold, this is one to check out. Plus, it's made by a local Colorado company that puts customer service first.
While this jacket is highly durable and protective, the fabrics are somewhat stiff and a tiny bit itchy. While the materials do stretch, they are much stiffer than any traditional fleece we've tested, which means sizing correctly is imperative. The arms and bust feel a little slim, which gave our main tester a hard time getting a comfortable fit for her biceps. The price is also high, but it's important to consider the quality of this garment, which is high. If you are seeking a thicker fleece that'll perform in all weather, this is our go-to.

 You can kind of use it as a hoodie on its own, like it actually has a hood. As you can see here, it's really well, I'm wearing a men's medium, I'm about a hundred and sixty pounds 511.

 I'Ve been able to test out the high e hoodie for the last couple weeks. Now I took a skiing war on some pretty cold days and also on some more mild days. Coldest was negative 5 with the windchill and I'm the warmest that was in the thirties. First impressions of the for me II, high e hoodie - I really really like it
