I ordered both this and the patagonia down sweater to compare side to side. Upon trying on the arcteryx cerium jacket,, I noticed right away that the zipper is extremely tiny and feels flimsy. The arcteryx down jacket is MUCH warmer than the patagonia one though at a very similar weight.

I'm a TTS XL. I'm 6'3" and 205 lbs, and this thing was made "slim" but it just feels short and is slim in all the wrong places. I'm a very athletically built person and this did not fit me the way I thought it would. The chest felt loose, the waist was short and tight, and the armholes were high with too tight of arms.

I went from a marmot all around down jacket to the Cerium. Very nice jacket. I usually wear a hoodie under it and it is perfect so far.

This has become my go-to lightweight down jacket. It is warm, comfortable and compresses down to about the size of a Nalgene water bottle. I use it for both backpacking and around town. Worn over a lightweight fleece, this jacket is warm with low activity down to the 30s F.

I love this it is excellent

Love them so much

This jacket has performed well for a variety of activities, from cold weather camping to a forget about just-in-case layer to bring along backcountry skiing. The material feels comfortable next to skin, and provides enough warmth to throw over a light shirt and feel comfortable during a winter commute. I can't say that I love the styling or colors compared to other Arc'teryx pieces, and I've noticed that the synthetic insulation around the shoulders and cuffs has lost a noticeable amount of loft. I would rather have the full jacket with down, but this is a minor compliant. Overall a great jacket.

I own tons of Arc'teryx gear and would rate every item purchased in the past at 5 stars. This jacket, however, is a different story. It's warm as he'll, and fits like a glove, but after 4 days on a repelling tower, it's looking pretty shabby. I found a hole in the left pocket on the third day, not sure how it happened, but the fabric seems very delicate. Also, I am constantly finding the insulation penetrating the fabric and needing to be worked back in.

The jacket is super light. It packs down as advertised, and it is extremely toasty, but the fabric used seems much more fragile than anything I've ever seen put out by Arc'teryx. Sad, because for the price, I would have expected it to hold up better.

Purchased as a gift for our son. Needed jacket for skiing as well as everyday northeastern weather climate. This fit the need as well for fit and excellent quality. Worth every penny thus far. Time will tell regarding down fill issues.

High quality down, light fabric with synthetic insulation in the right spots and a trim fitting hoodless fit was exactly what I've been looking for.
I'm 6'2" 180ish with an athletic build, the large fits perfect under most layers.
For cool days at the ski area this works as a stand alone but keeps me toasty with a shell over it.
Pros: Warmth for its size. Packability, gets down to about the size of a pint glass in its stuff sack. Trim fitting is great for laying over a mid layer. Light, at 9oz its great for once counters. The had pockets are great, sit above a harness or hip belt.
Cons: Zipper is hard to start with gloves. Collar is a little tight.

All in all this is an awesome lightweight puffy for anyone looking for a warm jacket. From splitboarding and working at a ski are to using while belaying in the dessert in winter. Price is high but so is the quality

I'm 5'9, weigh 150 lbs with a runner's build. I was totally looking forward to this jacket after wearing out my Patagonia Down Sweater for years but found the fit on this jacket a bit off. It's fitted which was a plus, but the arm holes are very high and it's not like I have guns for arms. I've gone with a small for my prior Arcteryx jackets which have all fit perfectly but this one was a miss, at least for me.

is it canceled

Apre' dining and drinks have never been so warm! I haven't used this guy too far into the backcountry just yet but for those cold resort days and my favorite part, apre', this jacket is perfect. You'll be warm, dry, and in style. Bird delivers as always.

This was my first Arc'teryx product and the moment I got it, it was a cold night and I had to run to the store. With no hesitation I threw it on and zipped it up. I was comfortably warm before I could turn the heat on in my car. Invest in Arc'teryx. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH IT . Ill be buying a lot more of their clothing.

Never thought this jacket would perform as well as it does. It's super light and the most amazing part is that it keeps me warm when it's 30 F outside but it never makes me too hot, even when temperatures rise to 60 F.

I got this jacket for hiking as well as everyday wear. The light blue one came out nice, it was a little tight around the belly and loose around my chest. It has no inside pocket so a negative there. I have not used in very cold weather so cannot say how it holds up. the jacket lost a fair bit of feathers in the first few weeks.

The jackets looks great! Bought as a base layer for under my Arc'teryx shell. Form fitting, comfortable, warm, great looking with one major flaw! The down filling consistently coming out of the shell and unfortunately in many cases causing small holes in the shell. The jacket was worn less than 15 times and primarily as a base layer and has 9 noticeable holes that needed to be patched. I have a Marmot and Patagonia which have been put through the ringer with zero issues. They explained their fabric isn't as thick and if you put the feathers back in the hole goes away. I have to disagree. Arc'teryx didn't warranty the jacket charged me a $100 fee for a replacement. I understand even with the best products their can be problems and quality issues. So my issue wasn't that the jacket failed, but as a long time user of Arc'teryx products, especially ski gear, this jacket should be covered under warranty. Just have to think twice about whether the premium price is worth.

Quality jacket. Extremely light and packs up small. Used for a couple backpacking treks in winter. Not warm at all. My synthetic 60$ ripped mountain hardware is much much warmer. Returned.

It is great，i love it so much although it is not fit to me ，size too small for me .I shoud bought m intead of s，so pety。

Got this for my dad and he loves it. He was looking for a medium "puff" jacket with no hood and this fit the bill perfectly. Can't go wrong with Arc'teryx! It is a fitted jacket though so if you want to layer - I would size up.
