Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie

Built from wind-resistant Tyono™ 30 nylon, the Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie in Black Sapphire is the jacket you reach for when the forecast can't make its mind up. It blocks wind, cuts the chill, and packs down into its own chest pocket so there's no excuse to leave it behind on a fast-moving day out.

Key Features

• Tyono™ 30 nylon: a lightweight, highly wind-resistant fabric that punches well above its weight.
• Adjustable StormHood™: helmet-compatible hood with 360-degree visibility in poor conditions.
• No Slip Zip™ closure: keeps the front zip running smoothly in wind and rain.
• Packable design: stuffs into its own chest pocket and clips to a harness or bag strap.
• Dual hem adjustments: fine-tune the fit to seal out draughts.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Hiking and trail days where the weather can turn without warning.
• Climbing and belaying, thanks to the packable, harness-friendly design.
• Everyday commuting as a light outer layer over a tee or base layer.
• Travel, when packing light matters and a jacket needs to take up minimal space.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The Arc'teryx guidance on fit: the Squamish Hoodie has a fitted, trim cut through the chest and waist. For the full breakdown of how Arc'teryx jackets are cut across the range, see our Arc'teryx jacket fit guide.
• Planning to layer underneath, such as over a fleece or midlayer? Size up for extra room.
• The dual hem adjustments and stretch fabric give some flexibility if you're between sizes.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, using a technical wash rather than standard detergent.
• Avoid fabric softener, it breaks down the DWR water-repellent coating.
• Line dry away from direct heat. A low tumble dry can help reactivate the DWR finish if needed.
• Avoid ironing directly on the fabric.

Arc'teryx Squamish Hoodie - Our FAQs

1. Is the Squamish Hoodie waterproof? It's wind-resistant with a DWR water-repellent finish, so it handles light rain and showers well, but it isn't a fully waterproof hardshell.
2. What size should I choose if I'm between two sizes? Size up if you'll wear it over a midlayer, or size down for a closer, more packable fit.
3. Will it fit in a small daypack? Yes, it packs into its own chest pocket, so it takes up very little space.
4. How do I keep the water repellency working? Wash it with a technical cleaner rather than standard detergent, and skip the fabric softener.
5. Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet? Yes, the StormHood is designed to be helmet-compatible.
