Arc’teryx Squamish Hoody Spnnt

1. Core Concept & Design Philosophy

Racing-Grade Ultralight Windshell: Designed for trail running, fastpacking, and multi-terrain traversing, prioritizing weightless performance and dynamic climate response.

Spnnt Naming & Colorway:

Speed DNA: Spnnt (short for Speed Net) symbolizes mesh ventilation and rapid adaptability. Features an electro blue-black gradient—matte black base with reflective blue streaks for nighttime visibility.

Visual-Functional Link: Gradient reflects speed (static stealth, dynamic reflectivity), enhancing safety and aesthetics for racing.

All-Season Use: Dark base resists stains; reflective accents suit day-night training, transcending seasonal limits.

2. Technical Innovations & Performance Breakthroughs

Fabric & Construction:

Tyono™ 15D Aeromesh Blend: Weight reduced to 95–105g (men’s M), with 20% denser windproof zones and laser-cut mesh panels (back/underarms) boosting breathability by 40% vs. standard Squamish.

Dynamic Hydrophobic Tech: DWR coating with humidity-reactive molecules enhances water resistance (5,000mm) during rain, reverting to breathable state when dry.

Acoustic Dampening: Inner microfiber layer eliminates fabric rustling, enhancing focus on environmental sounds.

Racing-Optimized Design:

Magnetic Zipper System: Zero-resistance zipper track enables 50% faster one-handed operation (glove-compatible).

3D Elastic Hem: Laser-cut elastic band replaces drawcords, adapting to hip motion while blocking drafts.

Modular Hydration Port: Hidden back loops secure soft bladder tubes, minimizing bounce during runs.

3. Core Scenarios & Target Users

Hardcore Trail Runners:

Ultralight weight reduces energy loss on long distances; mesh panels manage high-intensity heat buildup.

Reflective accents + noise reduction ensure nighttime safety and environmental immersion.

Fastpacking Enthusiasts:

Dynamic water resistance handles mountain downpours; magnetic zippers enable quick gear access.

Hydration port optimizes multi-day fueling, minimizing stops.

Urban Speed Trainers:

Electro blue-black gradient suits gyms, night rides; reflective accents enhance road safety.

4. Functional Details & Tech Highlights

Smart Thermal Tag:

Left sleeve integrates a flexible e-ink display showing real-time body temperature/humidity, syncing via Bluetooth for microclimate tracking.

Rapid Packing System:

RFID chip embedded in stuff sack enables phone NFC tracking, preventing gear loss during races.

Stuff sack doubles as an emergency tourniquet (UTMB safety compliant).

Eco-Conscious Build:

50% ocean-recycled plastics in fabric; bio-based polymer zippers reduce carbon footprint by 35%.

5. Competitor Comparison

VS Salomon Bonatti Pro:

Spnnt is lighter (95g vs. 120g) with smarter mesh placement; Bonatti Pro prioritizes waterproofing over breathability.

Spnnt’s dynamic reflectivity outperforms Bonatti’s static reflectors.

VS Rab Borealis:

Spnnt’s magnetic zipper + noise reduction > traditional designs; Borealis offers better abrasion resistance but doubles the weight.

6. Buying & Usage Tips

Sizing: Slim fit—true to size for compression layers; avoid loose fits.

Care: Avoid dryers to protect thermal tags; apply breathable membrane cleaner monthly.

Premium Value: Limited carbon-quota production with unique serial numbers + race course vouchers.
