Why Choose the Squamish Hoody?
The Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody is an iconic and extremely popular ultralight windshell ideal for mild, shifting conditions. Made from durable Tyono 30 nylon ripstop with DWR finish, it delivers excellent wind protection, surprising strength for its weight, and air permeability, so I do not get sweaty during my activities. The adjustable StormHood provides helmet-compatible coverage when needed, has gusseted underarms, and articulated patterning to ensure mobility.
It has elastic cuffs, dual hem adjusters that seal out gusts, and a slightly longer hem in the back. Minimalist design features a No-Slip Zip and a single chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack that the jacket can pack itself into. At around 140g, it's highly packable and versatile for climbing, hiking, trail running, or urban casual wear. This Arc'teryx jacket is highly wind-resistant and drizzle-repellent, but not fully waterproof; it will get wet in prolonged rain exposure but dries very quickly. Breathability is good, but it can feel clammy in very high-output conditions with only the front zip to vent heat.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody
- Hiking: Blocks wind, is lightweight, and packs down nicely to whip out on a hike.
- Trail Running: Provides wind protection on cold days; breathes decently during efforts, stows tiny when not needed in a zip pocket.
- Casual. This is a fairly bold colorway for an urban windbreaker, but it layers easily, adds style, and protects against breeze and light rain.
This colorway was on the Arc'teryx website in Q1 2003, with one additional multi-color and two solid colors. A replica Squamish hoody is being sold, but a quick legit check is to check the size tag on the back of the jacket. The authentic Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody says Made in Bangladesh, and the fake Squamish Hoody says Made in Vietnam.
