Product Information

Full details

The Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody is a versatile, lightweight windshell designed for active adults who need reliable protection against sudden wind and chill during climbing, hiking, or high-output mountain activities. Its primary benefit is its exceptional packability and wind-blocking capability, allowing it to transition seamlessly from a protective layer to a compact accessory that clips to a harness. While it is highly effective at cutting wind, users should note that it is not a heavy-duty waterproof jacket and will not provide significant insulation during freezing temperatures or sustained heavy rain.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is a windshell with a DWR finish, which makes it water-repellent but not waterproof.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It serves best as a wind-blocking shell over thermal layers, but it does not provide its own insulation for extreme cold.

Does it have side pockets?

No, the design emphasizes packability and uses a single chest pocket for storage.

How do I re-apply the water repellent finish?

You can use a spray-on DWR treatment specifically formulated for nylon gear after washing.

Will the hood fit over a beanie?

Yes, the helmet-compatible hood is adjustable and will fit comfortably over a beanie or ball cap.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading up.

The DWR finish may need reactivation. Clean the garment and tumble dry on low heat, or apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Zipper is sticking or not sliding smoothly.

Check for fabric caught in the zipper track. If clean, gently wipe the teeth with a dry cloth or use a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Squamish Hoody, always zip the jacket closed before washing and use a front-loading machine with a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR treatment. For drying, use a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Because the hood is specifically cut to be helmet-compatible, it may feel large when worn without a helmet, but can be adjusted using standard integrated drawcords to maintain a secure fit. Store the jacket loosely when not in long-term use to maintain the integrity of the material fibers.
