Atom AR hoody alternatives?
Hello everyone! Looking for something similar to my beloved Atom AR hoody but can’t seem to find anything soft and warm now!
I started with Atom in 2009, and practically wore it most days in my life. Work, walk, on top of some of the biggest mountains in the U.S. , epic adventure in the snow storm, it did it all. I had to replace it in 2019 finally, and I bought the Atom AR, which to me is even better: simile weight, warmer. I didn’t use it as much in big adventures as I got married and had kids. In the past 17 years I also bought several Atom AR jacket for my family as gifts.
Fast forward to 2026 and the Atom AR is starting to show wear the back. I went to the Arc store and all new atoms are so thin and the shell feels plasticky! The Atom SV seems to be a replacement but I guess they are retiring it…. No inventory available.
Is Arc still making something soft, all-round, awesome as the Atom AR? So much competition now and everyone is making an Atom similar jacket. But the joy and memory of the OG Atom will forever stay with me - any recommendations? Thank you!
