DESIGN arc'teryx's leaF atom lt is plain simple jacket, with- out any bells and whistles – most important are func- tionality, low weight and compression. Back has been extended for better coverage of user's loins and pre- venting sliding it off while bending. Atom LT is close-fit- ting or trim-cut jacket with full front YKK zipper with protective flap underneath. Zipper has a puller for easi- er use with gloved hand.Jacket also has a stand-up col- lar – with a microfleece sewn inside. Collar is quite high (5cm), fitted and it secures neck very well. On the sides there are Polartec® Power Stretch® stretch panels which goes from the very hem up to armpits. Their main goal is to increase breathability and moisture transpiration as well as better fitting of the jacket and improvement of mobility. Sleeves are sewn straight and simple without any additional fea- tures like Velcro loops or bicep pockets. They end with stretch-knit nylon cuffs that fit very well to the wrists. Elastic drawcord is sewn into the hem of the jacket. It is adjusted by plastic stoppers placed in front jacket's hem, in the place when front fabric joins with the side panels. End of the cord is routed through a tunnel that holds the excess so after tightening nothing sticks out- side decreasing a chance of catching something. CLOTHING
