Product Information

Full details

The Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody is a versatile, ultra-lightweight windshell designed for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters who need reliable protection against wind and light precipitation. Its primary advantage is its exceptional packability and ability to cut chill without adding significant bulk, making it an essential layer for unpredictable weather. However, users should note that as a dedicated windshell, it is not designed to provide significant insulation or heavy-duty waterproof protection against sustained rainstorms.

FAQs

Is the Squamish Hoody waterproof?

It is water-resistant thanks to an FC0 DWR finish, which sheds light rain and mist. It is not designed to withstand heavy or prolonged downpours.

Can I wear a helmet under the hood?

Yes, the StormHood is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible, providing full coverage while allowing for easy adjustments.

What is the best way to wash this jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a technical gear cleaner. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How packable is the jacket?

The jacket is highly packable and compresses into its own chest pocket for easy storage in a pack or pocket.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

No, it is a windshell. It provides wind protection but no significant insulation. It is best used as a layer over a fleece or base layer.

What does FC0 DWR mean?

It means the jacket is treated with a water-repellent finish that is free from harmful PFAS chemicals.

Troubleshooting

The fabric is starting to soak through with light rain.

The DWR finish likely needs reactivation. Tumble dry on low heat for 10-20 minutes, or reapply a DWR-specific spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches.

Check for fabric obstructions. Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and ensure it is free of dirt or grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Squamish Hoody, always follow the garment's internal care instructions, typically involving machine washing on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR performance. If the water-repellency weakens over time, a light cycle in the dryer on low heat or a professional re-application of a DWR treatment can restore its effectiveness. Store the garment clean and dry, and avoid leaving it stuffed in its chest pocket for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
