More informationWhat Is an Insulated Ski Jacket and What Are the Options?
An insulated ski jacket is essential for anyone seeking warmth and comfort while skiing or snowboarding. The insulation helps maintain your body temperature, even in the harshest conditions. There are different types of insulation, each with its own advantages. In this guide, we explain the differences so you can make the perfect choice.
Down Insulation: Lightweight and Extremely Warm
A jacket insulated with down is the ideal choice for those looking for maximum warmth without sacrificing comfort. Down provides excellent insulation and is very lightweight, making it perfect for cold, dry conditions. However, keep in mind that down performs less well in wet conditions unless the jacket has been specially treated to resist moisture.
Wool Insulation: Natural and Breathable
Jackets with wool insulation offer a natural alternative. Wool is not only warm but also breathable and retains heat even when damp. This option is ideal for those who prefer natural materials and comfort in varying weather conditions.
Synthetic Insulation: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
Synthetic insulation, such as PrimaLoft or Thinsulate, offers excellent warmth and performs well in wet conditions. This option is often slightly heavier than down but dries quickly and is easier to care for. It’s ideal for active winter sports enthusiasts who value versatility and affordability.
Why Choose an Insulated Ski Jacket?
-
Optimal Warmth: Protect yourself against extreme cold.
-
Comfort During Activity: Maintain your freedom of movement without sacrificing insulation.
-
Suitable for Various Weather Conditions: Whether you're skiing in powder snow or braving a cold wind, an insulated jacket adapts to your needs.
Which Insulation Suits You Best?
The right insulation depends on your personal preferences and the conditions in which you’ll wear the jacket. Looking for ultimate warmth and comfort? Go for down. Need a versatile, low-maintenance option? Consider synthetic materials. Or choose wool for a natural feel.
Our premium ski jackets combine functionality, style, and top quality, so you can fully enjoy your winter sports adventure. Explore our collection and find your perfect insulated ski jacket!

- 40 g/m2 Coreloft Stretch body, 280 g total
- Octa fleece panels and mesh sleeves vent fast
- Packs into its own hood, no stuff sack needed
- DWR finish only, not waterproof in steady rain
- Sleeves and hood uninsulated: cold when static
- SL build favours low weight over abrasion life
The Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoody is a 280 g synthetic-insulated hooded mid layer for men, built for high-output hiking and alpine days in cold or changeable weather. Coreloft™ Stretch insulation sits in the body only at 40 g/m², while the sleeves are uninsulated and mesh-lined and the side panels are Octa® fleece, so the jacket dumps heat on the climb instead of trapping it. It packs into its own hood and is held shut with the hood cinch.
Who is the Atom SL Hoody for?
This is a layer for an active hiker, alpinist or ski tourer who runs warm, wants insulation that vents, and already owns a waterproof shell for real weather. The Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoody is not the right choice if you want one jacket for standing still in deep cold, because the arms and head have no insulation at all. It is also not built for sustained rain, or for abrasion-heavy use such as scrambling against rock with a loaded pack — the SL construction prioritises low weight and packability.
How warm and how weather-resistant is the Atom SL Hoody?
Warmth comes from 40 g/m² Coreloft™ Stretch in the torso, which is the lighter end of synthetic insulation and is tuned for moving. The 58 gsm Fortius™ Air 20 face fabric carries an FC0 DWR finish, free from intentionally added PFAS, which sheds drizzle and mist and blunts the wind. It is not a waterproof garment: for prolonged rain, put a hardshell over it. The 122 gsm Octa® fleece side panels are air-permeable, so in strong wind you will feel some through-flow.
Which size should you choose in the Atom SL Hoody?
Arc'teryx cuts the Atom SL Hoody in its Fitted shape: close through chest, waist and hip, and marginally slimmer than the standard Atom Hoody. Size M measures 113.4 cm chest width, 106.0 cm waist width, 92.8 cm sleeve and 72 cm centre back length; the brand's 180 cm fit model wears M. Plan for a base layer or thin first layer underneath, not a thick fleece. Compare your own chest and sleeve measurements with the size chart on this page before ordering. Available in S, M, L and XL.
How is the Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoody built?
The Arc'teryx Atom SL Hoody uses three different materials in three different places, and that mapping is the whole idea. The torso holds Coreloft™ Stretch synthetic insulation at 40 g/m², made with recycled content, between a 58 gsm Fortius™ Air 20 plain-weave face fabric and a 58 gsm recycled 20d nylon lining. Both of those fabrics are 88% nylon and 12% elastane, so the jacket moves with you rather than resisting you. The side panels swap insulation for 122 gsm Octa® polyester fleece with a 40D Delta face, which breathes under a pack strap and a harness. The sleeves are left uninsulated with a mesh lining, and the adjustable low-profile StormHood™ is lined but uninsulated. Total weight is 280 g.
Is the Atom SL Hoody suitable for ski touring and alpine days?
Yes, as the warm layer in a layering system rather than as the outer shell. On a skin track or a cold approach the Atom SL Hoody runs warm enough to start in and breathable enough to keep on, with the Octa® panels and mesh-lined sleeves doing the venting. The 72 cm centre back length in size M sits under a hardshell without bunching, and the hem draw cord pulls in to stop updraught. Where it stops is clear: there is no powder skirt, no pass pocket and no lift-queue warmth, because 40 g/m² in the body only is a moving-layer specification. For a long, cold chairlift day or a storm, this belongs under a waterproof jacket, not on top. It is also not a replacement for an uninsulated windshirt.
What is the Atom SL Hoody made of and how do you wash it?
The shell, lining and contrast panels are nylon, elastane and polyester, all made with recycled content, and the Coreloft™ Stretch fill is 100% polyester. Both shell and lining carry an FC0 DWR finish that contains no intentionally added PFAS. Wash on a gentle machine cycle at low temperature, keep dark colours separate, rinse twice and skip the fabric softener, which clogs the fibres the DWR needs. Tumble dry gentle and low — heat helps restore the water-repellent finish — and never iron, bleach, wring or dry clean the garment. A Polygiene anti-odour treatment keeps the jacket fresher between washes, which matters on multi-day trips. Note that the lightweight Octa® side and underarm fabric is thin by design and can be punctured by a hard point such as an outer-shell zipper pull.
What makes the Atom SL Hoody more sustainable?
Shell, lining, contrast fleece and insulation are all made with recycled content, and the shell and lining are listed as bluepass materials produced through processes meeting bluesign® criteria. The DWR is PFAS compliant, with no intentionally added PFAS. The jacket is sewn in a Fair Trade Certified™ facility in Bangladesh, with fabric and dyeing in Taiwan and China. Like all synthetic garments, it can release plastic microfibres when washed, so wash it only when it needs it.
