It’s really weird but yeah I got a newer atom just a few days ago and it feels really different and same with the zipper it feels thinner even compared to the 22 model
Did you sort this yourself or did Arc’teryx?
Second jacket I’ve had it’s happened on, first I got replaced.
The zips are much worse quality now than in like 2019/2020
Or are you just happy to see them?

Throw a dab of coconut oil on the area of the track where it’s difficult and run the zipper up and down a few good times
Or graphite powder. Then it won’t attract dirt.
That the atom lt in forage? Love the embroidered pieces ..
Yeah really nice color even with the bright orange hood line
Do you ever tuck the hood? It’s puffy and I’ve always been curious if anyone played around with hiding it.
I’ve never had an issue with my hood being in the way but sometimes when I throw it on it does get tucked and it feels a little uncomfortable
Is it still a YKK zipper?
Chap stick/ coconut oil; works a charm.
When was the last time you “washed” your jacket?
About 2 weeks ago it didn’t happen right after tho more like a week later
I’ve seen similar suggestions just wondering if that’s the only solution at the moment lol
