Melbourne winter: Is the Arc’teryx Atom SV too warm as a standalone city jacket?
Hi, I’m in Melbourne and I’m looking at the Arc’teryx Atom SV. I want to use it mainly as a standalone winter jacket, but I’m not sure if it would be too warm for Melbourne or a good fit for that use.
I’d mainly use this jacket for city wear in winter, like everyday casual use, commuting, and walking around. I’d also use it occasionally for skiing, around once a year.
I live in Melbourne, so the climate is cool to cold in winter, but not extreme most of the time. I want something that works well as a standalone winter jacket here, with the option to use it for the occasional ski trip.
I’d say I run pretty neutral, and I prefer a normal fit rather than something very slim or very loose.
Would you say the Atom SV works well as a standalone winter jacket for Melbourne, or is it overkill?
