Versatility and efficiency are Arc�teryx hallmarks, ones exemplified by the Men�s Delta LT Pullover. This Polartec Classic 100 fleece top provides essential thermoregulation throughout the year, minimizing gear needs and maximizing pack space. Wear it over a wicking shirt for cool evening runs, as a mid-layer for high-output winter pursuits, or as expedition-weight base layer in extreme cold. Its smooth face won't catch or bind under outer layers.
The Arc'teryx Delta LT is one of my most worn fleece tops. It's super soft, and stays that way for years (I've got a couple that are 4+ years) really packable, and surprisingly efficient when layered. This new version uses the same grid-fleece, but has a deeper chest zipper, which I like. Looks like my buddies get some new fleece, cause I'm refreshing my collection of Delta LTs.

The main difference is in the material. The LT uses Polartec Classic 100 Micro, where, the R1 uses Polartec Power Dry. The power dry is heavier (about 2.5 oz for the R1 pullover), but should wick moisture better and would be warmer. If it makes a difference, the R1 also has a chest pocket. The price is about the same, so go with works best for you. Hope that helped!
I'd go for the Patagonia...but I'm biased because I own an R1 hoody. I think the patagonia is made better and fits better, but that is just my opinion. This is also a great product.
possibly the most fascinating article of clothing i own (up there with my hyllus jacket). I'm still new to high end technical clothing, but it stuns me how warm yet lightweight & breathable/wicking this thing is. It actually comes out of the washer spin cycle virtually dry!
It regulates body temp so well that it works over a huge temp range and is ridiculously soft and cozy. My gf complains that I wear it too much. Bought initially as a skiing midlayer - though I live on a subtropical island and its perfect on its own in the winter here. If it weren't so $$ i'd get another coupled of em.
I got this fleece knowing little about it. It is pretty nice, VERY warm for how lightweight it is, I just wish I had ordered a size down. Also, I tried on the full zip jacket and liked it more, it is heavier since it is full zip, I just liked the fit more than the pullover. I do have two of them, I found them on sale for $80 and snatched em up for the cold winter, wished I had just got one, and waited for the full zip. If you have the chance to try on both next to each other, you may agree.
This is a great lightweight pullover. Warm and easily layerable, either below or on top. I will say, if you are between sizes, get the smaller size. I usually wear XL or L (5'10", 46in chest, 33in sleeves, 36" waist). I wear an XL in all of Arc'teryx's softshells, can wear a L Theta or Alpha hardshell, but I am definitely a Large in this top. Ordered the XL and it is extremely long (longer than the bottom of my Large Theta AR (which runs low), and the waist was big enough for 40"+ waist. I returned the XLs and order Large. Very comfortable (soft), nice taper fit, but not tight. A steal on SAC!
Great lightweight fleece. Packs down small and light to give you an extra layer in case you're unsure of temps or just prefer to sleep warm like I do. Breathes great when used as a baselayer. 6ft 160 , wear a medium in this and size is perfect.
They have obviously changed the location they make this previuosly great product. I own four Delta LT's. Ordered this new one and it does not fit at all like the others. I wear large and on the new one the body is significantly smaller and tighter. The neck is smaller and the sleeves are much longer. Bring back the old one!
I'm pretty psyched on it. It is a longer fit. I am 6'0, pretty thin. I went with a medium and it fits really well. I use this as a layer for skiing, climbing, or just casual night out. The fleece is quite soft and it amazes me how many compliments I get when wearing this shirt and how few I get when I don't.
Not what i was expecting. It is very soft, but has a long fit. I swim in this XL and i'm 6'2" 210lbs with an athletic build. I wish the fleece were a little thicker because the wind cuts through this no problem. Dog hair is like a magnet to this thing as well.
I have one of these and found it to be so light that I thought it'd be useless as anything but a baselayer in cold temps-but I was wrong.Super soft and light,I've worn it under a baselayer and my Alpha SV shell in 29 degrees comfortably.So light,you forget you've got it on.
This is meant to be a base layer or a light mid-layer. As such, it is a superb technical piece. It was never intended to serve as a wind proof or wind resistant shell.
