Product Information

Full details

The Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody is a versatile, lightweight windshell designed for active adults who need reliable protection against wind and light precipitation during outdoor pursuits like climbing or hiking. Its primary benefit is its exceptional packability and breathability, allowing you to easily stow it away when conditions improve; however, it is not a fully waterproof jacket, so it should not be relied upon as a primary rain shell in heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is the Squamish Hoody waterproof?

No, it is wind-resistant and water-repellent, meaning it can handle light mist or short showers, but it is not designed to keep you dry in heavy or sustained rain.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to fold into its own chest pocket. Turn the pocket inside out and stuff the jacket into it until it is fully contained.

Can I wear this while climbing?

Yes, the hood is specifically designed to fit over climbing helmets, and the athletic cut allows for maximum freedom of movement.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle, technical detergent in a front-loading washing machine, and tumble dry on low heat.

What is the fit of this jacket?

It features an athletic, trim fit that sits close to the body for efficiency, allowing it to layer well under a harness or over a light base layer.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Stiff or sticky zippers

Check for debris or grit in the zipper track. Clean gently with a soft brush and consider using a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent performance of your Squamish Hoody, it is recommended to wash the garment in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the DWR coating. For drying, use a low-heat tumble setting; the heat actually helps reactivate the DWR finish. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent odors. Because the jacket is highly compressible, it is compatible with most standard climbing harnesses and can be clipped to a gear loop for quick access on the move.
