Arc’Teryx LEAF Atom LT Jacket
Posted in Arcteryx, Clothes, GEAR on November 7th, 2009 by MilitarymoronNew for fall 2009 from the LEAF (Law Enforcement and Armed Forces) division of Arc’Teryx is the Atom LT Jacket. The Atom LT is a mid layer that functions as light outer wear. It’s designed to be modern, warmer and more water-resistant alternative to the old M65 field jacket button-in liner, to which some manufacturers added buttons in the front so it could be worn as a stand-alone garment. It’s a trim-fitting insulating jacket that can be worn as a layer under a hard shell to provide warmth, or by itself as a wind and water-resistant jacket. It is very lightweight for the warmth it provides and is highly compressible. I see it replacing a lot of mid-layers, sweatshirts and light weight fleece sweaters.
