Lots of "prior seasons" models available at a discount. VPO seems to have retail stores across Canada allowing in-store returns. Can't imagine there are major differences between prior season and current season.

Only minor consideration might be that the Atom AR/LT will be updated this coming fall. Whether the updates are worth waiting for may depend on your use. The AR in particular will be getting a different version of Coreloft that is more resilient and a small underarm patch to improve breathability (basically a mini Atom LT side panel). The improvement to the LT will also target the face fabric durability: https://csga.ca/atom-lt-hoody/

Still leaves the SL items worth considering too then

Certainly worth considering though IMO it's far more of a niche piece vs the LT/AR given uninsulated arms/hood and just bit of insulation in the core. To me it's more of a windshirt than anything of substance or warmth. Versatility to me is LT>AR>SL, though that may vary with your climate.

I was at the Arcteryx store (Niagara Falls) not a while back and they had the Atom AR for $200.

My SO has an SL and gets a fair amount of use from it. I'm interested in getting one too, but 20% just isn't doing it for me.
