The Arc’teryx Cerium Down Hoody is a mid-layer garment constructed with durability, style and performance in mind for wearers to take advantage of during the cold weather months. The garment features a shell built with recycled 15D Arato nylon that's rated to be both water and wind-resistant, while the insulated StormHood can fit overtop of a helmet, if required. The 850-fill jacket has RDS-certified European white goose down along with strategically placed portions of Coreloft synthetic insulation to deliver a hybrid level of warmth.
The Arc’teryx Cerium Down Hoody is equipped with a series of drawstrings for maximizing the snugness of the fit and is available now for $400. The garment is perfected as a mid-layer, but will also work as a jacket on its own, depending on the conditions.
