Arcteryx Thorium SV Hoody - Very Good - Mens Small - Black (2017/2018 Version). Very good condition, lightly worn with no stains or holes. Note: This version of the Thorium SV Hoody is from the 2017/2018. Arcteryx introduced an updated version of this recently that looks slightly different, but they both share the same inherent core properties including warmth in severe weather and much more hard wearing than a typical down jacket. The description below is specific to this version done by GearLab in 2017.

Armor for doing battle with the elements, the Arc'teryx Thorium SV goes beyond the traditional light down parka. Although it offers an athletic cut, the box baffle construction and plethora of down filling mean this is a bulky jacket. The robust materials used in its construction provide excellent weather protection and enhanced durability. This jacket is meant to be used as a stand-alone piece, and its bulky high loft construction guarantees that you will not try to layer over the top of it. Minimally featured, the Thorium SV owes much of its weight to materials. Made with 750 fill-power down, combined with 100 and 140 weight Coreloft synthetic insulation in moisture-prone areas, and a 40 denier ripstop fabric, the Thorium SV weighs around a pound and a half. This jacket is a beast on the beefier side of the light down jacket world.

This jacket was designed for comfort in a storm and it achieves its goal. Arato 40 denier ripstop fabric and a snug fit more than make up for a lower 750 fill-power rating in the Thorium SV Hoody. Critical areas (areas more likely to get wet, or potentially torn, such as the hood, underarms, and shoulders) are insulated with Coreloft synthetic insulation, only a minor concession to warmth and a great contribution to the durability of the Thorium SV.
