I'm not super familiar with the genesis, but I've used the Arc'teryx Fury SV a bunch- it was my main ski jacket last season. The Fury is made with Windstopper and has taped seams, so I never had any leaking, even in Utah spring snowstorms. It also breathes well, and has a good measure of stretch. Not sure what the membrane Marmot is using, but the WP/breathe specs on that say "not specified" which, to me, means "not very". Also, I asked an Arc'teryx designer why they don't do welded seams, and the response was because it leaves a lip that gets caught and can damage the seam. Arc is using a lo-profile seam that hides the threads, and makes a very flat, clean seam. Plus, I think the Arc'teryx fit tends to be accurate and not boxy. I still love my Fury after 50-ish ski days, resort, hiking, and backcountry.

Nope. I have the Fury SV jacket (as well as several other A'T jackets), and it does not have anything to join / snap it onto pants, just a conventional powder-skirt. Works well enough, but I am a boarder who wears a bib for just the reason that not even a powder-skirt is quite enough to stop snow getting up my back or down my pants.

I have the Sidewinder SV and it does not have snaps, so I would imagine this one doesn't either. Acrteryx hasn't caught on to the fact that snowboarders like their stuff too and are more susceptible to snow crack. I committed the ultimate sin and bought the Stingray bib pant to compensate. Now my crack stays warm and dry.

Since the Fury SV is considered a softshell (it's Windstopper instead of Pro-Shell) it will be slightly less water resistant if it's raining, but more breathable. The Fury has a light fleece laminated inside, which adds some warmth. I skied in this for the majority of the last season, and it works amazingly well for the Rockies. In fact, I only pull out the hardshells if it's really dumping and wet. To sum: slightly shorter, a bit warmer, and equal in wind protection.

Thanks! I can't to try it out this coming season, this will be my first Arc'teryx product.

The small would probbobly fit you well. I am 5'9'' 160 and the medium fits me well. Hope this helps.

No problem for skiing tele, in fact, the fabric has a bit of stretch so it may make you ski better. I wear a Med, at 5'11/170, and it's a good fit with room for layers if it's bitter.

I'd keep looking. This jacket is a bit longer than hip length.You'd be better off with the Venta SV as a climbing jacket, or for even more stretch, but a bit less weather resistance, the Gamma MX hoody.

No its a fixed hood.

This is very similar to the stingray in water resistance and breatheability, but the fit and material is the main difference. This is gore windstopper, the Stingray is softshell. The gore softshell is probably not as "swishy" or "noisy". The stingray also allows for more layers underneath as it is meant to be worn as an outershell more than this fury. The extra room on Arcteryx jackets you will find not in the waist, but in the arms and chest mainly. They will still taper down to fit your waist right.

there is plenty of room in the Arc'teryx Fury SV, it is a light liner, it will need to be a super warm day for me to overheat (and i run hot) you my only need a R0.5 or a R1 at the max to be plenty wam.This jacket is cut to accomadate layering, but keep in mind a fleece with a smooth face will fit better because it won't bind up against the fleece lining. check out the Rho AR or Tau Pullover. And it is just hip length.

The warmth and the durability should be similar to the fabric of the Sigma SV jacket.Warmth is the same, but better durability because there is not stitching exposed on the new Fury;Also, this one has a powder skirt.

If you live on the East Coast and recreate in heavy rain, freezing rain, snow, wet snow, sleet, etc. then a Gore Pro Shell is nice as a carte blanche against wetness. However, if you live in the drier west (particularly the Rockies or Wasatch) then there are very few days that you will actually need Pro Shell. As the above reviewer mentioned this is a much stretchier, more breathable and quieter piece then Pro Shell could ever be as a result of the fabric and membrane.

Why would you want a ski coat that's not waterproof? Go with Gore-Tex Pro Shell, which is found in most of Arc'Teryx's Ascent and Descent lines.Don't let the "water-resistant" label fool you - this jacket is pretty damn waterproof. You won't have any problems unless you get caught in a monsoon for 8 hours and somehow fail to find shelter. What you gain in terms of breathability, flex, and weight is more than worth it.
