Arc'teryx Kyanite Hoody Fleece 2027 – Mid Layer

Description

The Arc'teryx Kyanite Hoody is a go-to insulating fleece built for active mountain pursuits and everyday cold-weather comfort. Designed for skiers, hikers, and anyone who runs hot and cold throughout the day, it works equally well as a standalone piece or tucked under a shell when the weather turns serious.

Constructed from Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro, the Kyanite pairs a durable, abrasion-resistant nylon face with a soft brushed polyester interior and four-way stretch — meaning it moves with you whether you're skinning uphill or reaching for overhead gear. A regular fit leaves room to layer without restricting mobility, and articulated patterning with no-lift gusseted underarms keeps the fabric in place on the move. Cuffs, hem, and collar are bound in Tanica™ stretch fabric for clean, durable edges. A low-profile hood adds targeted warmth without bulk, two hand pockets with laminated zippers keep essentials secure, and a No Slip Zip™ front closure stays put when you need it. The body is made with recycled content and is PFAS-compliant.

Who It's For

The Kyanite suits skiers and hikers who want a single layer that handles both aerobic effort and standing-around cold. Its four-way stretch and articulated cut reward people who hate feeling restricted mid-activity. If you frequently transition between shell and no-shell conditions, this fleece is built for exactly that kind of day.

FAQ

• Can the Kyanite be worn as an outer layer? Yes — its durable nylon face handles light abrasion, making it suitable as a standalone in dry, calm conditions.
• How warm is it compared to a down or synthetic insulated jacket? The Kyanite is an active fleece mid layer, not a heavy insulator — it's best suited for high-output activities or mild cold; for static cold or severe temperatures, layering under a shell is recommended.
