A trim-cut, DWR-nylon synthetic-insulation jacket in gemstone blue, offered in S–XXL. The public record is thin — effectively one buyer source covering fit, warmth, and one arrival complaint about odor and stains — so confirm size measurements and condition with the agent before ordering.
Only one independent public source; catalog details need verification.

Fit notes
Sizes S through XXL are listed. The source describes the Atom line as trim and athletic, and advises sizing up one size if you layer a midlayer or wear a shell over it. Ask your agent for flat chest and sleeve measurements before ordering.
Buy if
You want a light synthetic jacket in gemstone blue for cool evenings, and you can confirm sizing and arrival condition through your agent. The Atom cut runs trim, so order one size up if you plan to layer a midlayer underneath or a shell over it.
Skip if
You need a waterproof rain shell — the catalog features describe an Atom-style insulated jacket, not a hardshell. If an odor-free, spotless arrival is a firm requirement, or if you want a broad buyer record, this listing gives you little to work from.

Common questions
How does this jacket fit?⌄
The sourced reviews describe the Atom line as trim and athletic cut, and advise going up one size if you want to layer a midlayer under it or a shell over it.
What materials does the listing describe?⌄
Wind-resistant, DWR-coated nylon with synthetic Coreloft-style insulation; buyers in the same source describe it as warm and light for cool evenings.
Is it waterproof?⌄
The sourced description covers a DWR coating that sheds light rain, not waterproof construction.
The title says shell jacket, but the features describe an insulated jacket — which is it?⌄
The catalog features describe an Atom 2.0 embroidered-logo insulated (padded) jacket while the title says shell jacket, so confirm the actual construction with the seller before ordering.
What should I verify before buying?⌄
Ask your agent for flat measurements to settle the trim fit, and for a condition check on arrival, since one buyer reported odor and stains on the jacket they received.
