The Atom is the jacket for coastal and wet-cold trips where a down hoody is a liability. It is warmer than you want on a hard climb. Vent early. It is overkill and overpriced if your trips are dry and you already own a fleece and a rain shell.

Who should buy it. Wet-cold hikers who need one insulated hoody.

Best for. Stop-and-go days when down would wet out

Standout limitation. Price
