I am not a fan of the pockets, they kind of spoil the jacket for me. The down is only found on the outer side, whereas on rab jackets they split the down between inner and outer, which makes for a much nicer experience. Finally the fabric used closest to the body in the pockets is very very plastic bag esque
Hi, I am new to this channel. How well does this Thorium AR fit under a Beta LT? I have a size Medium in Beta LT and looking for an insulated and really like the Thorium. Would a medium in thorium fit under Beta LT medium?
Great video with so many useful details. I live in Seattle which is close to Vancouver. I wonder how long in the year you can wear this thorium. I’m still debating between this or cerium LT for daily casual wear. ( lol not what arcteryx supposed to be used for) thanks in advance.
I've tried the Cerium LT but used more towards urban usage and it's a little bit cold for me. It would fill a nice gap in my arsenal but I don't really need it...
Thorium AR is a little heavier, but is rated for 8 degrees F, and has a more durable outer. The Cerium lt is about 35% lighter, has higher quality down (can pack tighter), but is rated for 17 degrees F.
@@byrongwarby Hello there! Quick question, have you had any snow hit the jacket and how did it do? I’m curious if the repellent does decent against snow
@@drewstoica3537 It does well with falling snow. It's not waterproof by any means but the outer material is definitely adequate in keeping snow moisture out.
I was wondering what you would recommend, this or the atom AR. I'm looking for an urban winter jacket, with weather ranging from -2 to 5 C ish? Thanks!
The thorium would last you longer bring down, however the atom is synthetic so easier to care for. Depends what you value really! Warmth wise the thorium is a touch warmer.
Hi Jeff, thanks for the video! I got 2 Questions for you. No 1)I tried on the Cerium LT size medium and fitted me well. Shall I go for the Thorium in size small since it's a regular fit piece and thus wider than the Cerium LT? or it will be snug to layer a fleece or sweater underneath? No 2) When you zip-up your Thorium jacket about 4/5 or so, do you find the wind flaps (that are meant to protect your neck and chin) flapping around a lot or standing weirdly and bothering a bit? Do those bent over time and sit sideways towards the shoulders? Thanks in advance Man ✌🏻
Hey there, #1: The Cerium LT is trim fit so if you want a slimmer fit on the Thorium sizing down will work well. I only size down on items that I want to achieve a certain layering system. Generally I always get my regular size (large). #2: I think mine has been ok in this regard, you can bend them away and it does much better over time. When it was new it was somewhat annoying when not zipped up all the way. Hope this helps!
Very informative and helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I wish they make a non hooded version. Thanks for the review!
You might be able to find the jacket version at an outlet near you!
Check out the Agrium Jacket (comes with no hood)
@@kieranlehane yah I have been eyeing that piece since it first came put but there were reviews mentioned the fabric isn't durable as the thorium

more down leakage than I wanted to see... my only complaint about Down jackets and products.

Very tightly, compressing the down. A cerium LT, or SV would be better

Get the thorium, it’s much more durable than cerium and warmer. Cerium is not made for daily wear and the thorium is
@@davidthiessen7838 really appreciate your reply. Will get thorium. 🥳
Have you tried the Cerium Lt? Would love your thoughts on a comparison.

@@abearsmind How to care for Thorium AR?
I love my atom ar but wouldn’t mind another Arcteryx jacket that’s a little warmer and a little more breathable. Is the thorium ar that jacket?
Yep the thorium isn’t very windproof but slightly warmer than the atom AR.
ANyone as the same like me? the strom hood's edge will keep in touching my neck and makes me mad on it.
Yup I just roll it inwards…
good video, keep it up !

How does it handle wind?
Gusts/high winds will rip through the seams but throwing a shell over it will solve the problem.
What size are you wearing?
large
How tall you
@@jayyug7111 6'
I am 5.11 and got the size large medium just seems small on the length
@@Scouseking How does the large fit? I am also 5'11....looking to decide between M/L.
It’s a £20 trespass jacket with a £280 logo on it
