"Arc'teryx uses insanely insulating 750-fill goose down throughout the body of the jacket. Then, in a few moisture-prone areas (read: your armpits) Arc'teryx places its proprietary synthetic insulation, which is called Coreloft. This keeps you from unnecessarily losing heat when your pits get a bit sweaty. On top of all that insulation, Arc'teryx constructs the jacket out of a slightly beefier Arato 30 nylon, which doesn't equate exactly to the denier scale but is about the same."
"Out of the entire Arc'teryx mainline lineup, the Thorium is by far the best city jacket. Despite the hood, the Thorium is meant to be worn as a stand-alone piece of outerwear, like a more technical North Face Nuptse. If you want it sans hood, REI has that version of the Thorium jacket for 20 percent off. For those in more extreme climates, the severe-weather variant is seeing the same markdown, bringing it to $480."
The Arc'teryx Thorium functions as a city-ready, standalone outer layer with substantial insulation and weather resistance. The Thorium Down Hoody is discounted 30 percent at REI and represents the best value among Thorium variants. A hoodless Thorium is available at 20 percent off, and a severe-weather version is reduced to about $480. The jacket pairs 750-fill goose down in the body with Coreloft synthetic insulation in moisture-prone areas to retain warmth. The outer fabric uses Arato 30 nylon with a DWR finish, allowing the jacket to shrug off snow while serving as a primary insulating layer.
