Funny how the temperature always seems to drop about ten degrees as soon as you gain the summit, and then the winds pick up by a few miles per hour. In moments like these, you'll be glad you packed your Cerium LT. Insulated with a combination of highly compressible and insulating goose down through the body, and water-resistant Coreloft synthetic fill in areas prone to moisture, the Cerium delivers reliable warmth at the most crucial moments of your adventures.

Love Arc'teryx, but extremely disappointed in this one. Purchased the Dynasty color (red). Everything was perfect BUT...The down filling that was used had black feathers mixed with the white which you could see through the red color. The fabric is thin so it makes the jacket look like there is stains on it. If this was a black jacket, no big deal, but at this price point, you would expect a lot more. Sending back, and to top it off, I have to pay for the return going back for a defect that was not my fault. Super disappointed in the entire experience. Not recommended.

I really loved the color and shape of this jacket but I can see the dark down through the fabric. Sending it back and I'm very annoyed they don't offer free returns. I'm not shopping from here again.

I've been thinking about buying this jacket for a few years. It's pricey so I did a lot of research (and waiting in my old jacket). If you're looking for a good warmth to weight ratio this is it. It's super comfy. Designed to be somewhat fitted. I was disappointed in the color though. I got the rhapsody thinking it was maroon/dark red; it's definitely purple.

I got this jacket for my wife as a birthday gift. She gets cold very easily so she was super impressed on how warm this jacket was for the weight! She also loved the cut of the waist. Another great product from Arc'Teryx!

This jacket is super warm and comfortable, but after wearing it a couple times to and from work, the down is already coming out of the seams and there is a hole in the sleeve. I bought this jacket because the material was suppose to be more durable than other down jackets, but it is very fragile after a couple wears. I would recommend looking at another jacket

I’m disappointed that Arcteryx changed the fit of this jacket. I have two others from previous seasons that fit perfect. This fit in the torso now is very tight. I’m 5’3” usually a size 4-6 and the medium was tight in the chest and back with just a Tshirt. I ordered the large instead. Hopefully it’ll work but I think that Arcteryx should revert back to the original fit.

I've had ski gear from Arc"Teryx for over a decade, it's built to last. Usually I wear a medium, but got a down coat from them in a large so I could layer more, which is too big for my daughter. I bought this coat for my daughter in a medium (13 - 5'-5.5", 115lbs), I needed a little room growing. It's fitted on her body, with absolutely no room to grow in length or sleeves. Have to return, but sadly they don't have the next size up in the color she wants. Bummer. It's a great product, I'm just offering this review to help others figure out their fit. If you want really fitted for the activity you're doing, great, if you need room to layer, size up.

I bought this for my partner to replace the exact same jacket that was starting to leak feather from too many holes. The old one had many patches and was well-loved but she liked the new color so she moved on to the new season's model. The exact same quality as the previous model from 4 years ago. Her go-to piece for a ski mid-layer, casual outer-layer, wearing around the house, etc. She pairs this with the Beta SV and the Beta SL of the same size. Fit's true to size but I think the Iliad color is a bit greener than it shows up as in the pics.

I just got this coat last night and the sizing is way off. I ordered a medium and I cant even zip it. I am 5'6 and 140, well within the medium sizing. Returning, I am ordering a different brand instead.

Ordered a small, I wear a S in most tops, 5’3” 130 lbs 34A bust and it’s tight in the chest and at the waist. Returning to get a medium. Otherwise, very lightweight and love the bushwack color!

I am 5'4" and weigh 110 pounds soaking wet. I ordered my regular size SMALL and had to return because it was super snug over my breasts even when I was wearing only a thin T-shirt. The MEDIUM I subsequently ordered fits fine though I wish the hood fit a little more snugly. At least it fits okay in the shoulders; I was afraid they would be too wide for me. It is super warm and very lightweight so I think I am going to be loving it! Size up if you have any breasts to speak of!

I am sending this back as it didn't quite fit. Pros: very lightweight, didn't see any feathers poking out, nice olive color, generous hood Cons: zipper kept getting stuck, seemed off from size chart I'm 5-5, 130 lbs, 36b. Used size chart and said medium was 37" chest. I tried this on and it felt snug in the chest. I measured it and it was just under 18" from pit to pit. The listing said 24.5" inches long, this one was 26.5". It was snug in the chest and overall too long. If you had the right porportions this would be a great jacket.

Another great Arc'Teryx product. Like the versatility of the Arc'Teryx Cerium LT, using it as a standalone piece as well as a layering piece vs. taking both a down jacket and heavier [separate] down jacket for the evenings and cool mornings on our Machu Picchu trek. Layered beneath the 2nd down jacket as well as under a rain shell. Used around town, too, and have since taken it camping. Combo down and synthetic insulation gives me a little peace of mind if I get caught in an unexpected shower. Super lightweight and packable.

This is another great Arc'teryx product. Keeps me very warm and also light weight to carry around without it being bulky.

A jacket like this can be a really good thing to have if you are looking for something that is extremely warm and comfortable, but also lightweight and packable. Arc'teryx happen to be pretty good at making outerwear, so I am not surprised that this jacket was so good.

This jacket fits me perfect, considering I am so tall and it is hard to find jackets that fit my height and arm length. But it is great. I am in between a large and medium in jackets depending on the brand but I went with the medium and it is perfect, II like how it is fitted but not too tight. I thought it would be a litttttle warmer than it is... I have the cerium sl too and honestly there is not much difference except for the integrity of the fabric. This one is a little more durable though. I would definitely recommend this down jacket overall.

I ordered this jacket (lichen, M) for my girlfriend. I expected a new product, not one that already has a few dark stains and some leaky feathers. I'm returning it immediately, so I have no comments on warmth, comfort, or even the very probable lack of durability. I heard great things about this jacket and its design in the men's version; it's a pity that what I received was so subpar.

I just worse this for the first time and I was so disappointed!! The quality was awful. It was leaking feathers all over and the shell jacket I wore over it is not covered in sticky feathers I have to individually pick off. This was such an expensive purchase and to have this experience really disappointed me. I would not purchase this brand for a puff parka. I really wish I could have worn it sooner and exchanged for better quality.

This is my daily go to mostly because it's a great mid layer. I like that with the high end down it compresses small so you can take it with you without the bulk. This is a LT version so if you're looking for a warmer stand alone jacket I would look at the thorium or the cerium SV model.

My wife and I have several Arc’Teryx jackets. The Cerium LT is my favorite for cool weather. Very lightweight and looks amazing on! We are both slim and athletic. The quality is inherent like all Arc’Teryx products. It has a sheen to it and looks very smart and professional on! My wife has a small hooded version while I have the non hooded version. Amazed how warm and windproof it is for how light it is! With a shell subzero weather no problem. Actually love the cold weather thanks to Arc’Teryx!! Love the fit!!
