Product description
Protects you in any weather
With the Squamish Hoody, Arc'teryx presents a windbreaker that has been specially developed for changeable conditions in the mountains. The well-thought-out details such as an adjustable, helmet-compatible hood, a front zip with chin guard and elasticated cuffs offer you protection and comfort when it matters. After use, you can simply stow the jacket in its own pocket, which is practical when the weather changes quickly.
Noticeably light on every tour
Weighing around 120 grams, the Squamish Hoody is barely noticeable, which is ideal if you are counting every gram on the go. The ultra-light synthetic fibre not only makes the jacket breathable but also comfortable to wear and quick-drying. Thanks to its compact design, your freedom of movement is maintained and the jacket is always quickly to hand when the wind picks up.
Important items always to hand
The zipped chest pocket provides a safe place for important small items. Whether it is your smartphone, keys or a small snack, everything is quickly at hand when you need it. This is a noticeable advantage, especially during activities where speed is important.

Needed this much sooner, but a windproof jacket (or windshirt) is perfect for those autumn/spring days when a fleece might be warm enough but you a) need a little extra insurance or b) you expect to encounter variable wind which would blow right through the fleece.
The Squamish is extremely light, and packs away into its own chest pocket. Perfect to just throw in a backpack even a small 18-20L pack. Or just tie it to the outside if you're that pushed for space.
I've worn it over a fleece, or without a fleece (long sleeved shirt), depending on temperature and winds.
That said, like any jacket of this type, it's a pity that the wrist cuffs lack an absorption layer of cloth where it contacts the wrists. The material will not absorb sweat. Easily managed with keep the adjustable cuffs over my shirt/fleece cuffs. This would definitely not be something to wear with a short sleeved shirt where your whole arms are in skin contact.
Not a mark against the Squamish Hoody, but I would have opted for a non-hooded variant in hindsight. I'm not big on hoods, and having a useless (to me) flap of cloth on a windy day leads to a bit of tucking away and fiddling. There is a hoodless variant...somewhere...but haven't found a UK source for it.
