Arc'teryx Sentry Jacket - Men's

Arc’teryx added the warmth of PrimaLoft Sport insulation to the Men’s Sentry Jacket, so you don’t have to stress about being too cold on the slopes. On the other hand, underarm zips let you cool quickly if you find that skinning up warms you a bit more than you wanted.

  • Gore-Tex Pro Shell for total weather protection
  • Stowable hood tucks out of the way when you ski with a helmet
  • Powder skirt keeps out the snow on deep, fluffy days
  • Water-tight zippers and fully taped seams increase moisture protection
  • Molded zipper garages to keep water from getting in at the top

Bottom Line: Absolutely bomber. Incredibly warm.

Worth every penny

By:
1 day ago

I finally got to break out my Sentry jacket on a very cold deep powder day in Utah a couple weeks back and was so happy with the overall comfort and warmth. Unlike a lot of "puffy" jacket the jacket in no way felt like it and even with a backpack on I did not feel like the Stay Puff guy. I totally understand now why this jacket won several awards this season and though spendy its worth the cost for those cold days.

Thinking about getting this jacket but not sure on what size

Thinking about getting this jacket but not sure on what size I should get. I'm 5'9", 160 lbs, 41 inch chest and 31 inch waist. I want to be able to wear a midlayer underneath and feel like its not constricting movement but I also hate bagginess that makes me look like I am wearing snowboard wear.

No worries about looking like your wearing floppy 'boarder gear. A medium will give you room to layer if it's bitter cold, but not be too baggy when you're just wearing a baselayer on mild days.

Another Great Jacket!

By:
December 13, 2009

Added the Sentry to my jacket collection and I am very impressed. Yes its made in China and its expensive! Lots of nice details for an insulated coat. The front zipper is crazy long-this is a good thing, especially when skiing. its almost 2" longer than my Theta SV (which is long already). great coverage front and back without looking dopey. High collar as mentioned in previous reviews, provides great coverage without obstructing your face or helmet. hidden recco reflector in back of collar is a nice touch. Pit zips are a great feature to have on an insulated coat. Pockets are well placed and provide ample space to pack your goods. articulated sleeves with good amount of length for your arms. The pro shell material is softer than my theta SV and the Miro blue colour is a shade darker than the Theta as well. I WIsh Arcteryx would have put a waterproof Vislon zipper on the front and maybe added a shoulder pocket. Small things but otherwise outstanding Product!

Is the fit of this jacket relaxed, snug, or in between? I'm 6', 135 lb. (female) and I need to wear men's for the sleeve length. Should I get a small or medium if I just want to wear a merino crew & quarter zip underneath?

at just over 5'10" and 170lbs i can layer a fleece and softshell under a medium. go for the small- plenty of coverage in the front and the sleeves should work well for you. You should also check out the womens large in the Sceptre (female version of the sentry) as well. It should fit your slim build better than a mens medium.

The Arc'teryx Sentry is one of the looser cut jackets in their range. From your description, I'd say a m's medium would work well for you. If you have the chance to try on a women's coat, you may be surprised at the sleeve length on the Women's jackets. If you like an insulated coat, the Fission SV is another good option, and has slightly longer sleeves than the Sentry.

I think this is cut maybe just a little more snug than most Arcteryx ski jackets. I have this jacket in a medium, which I wear for all Arcteryx jackets, and even though I am on the larger size of the medium range, I can definitely layer within this jacket if necessary. As a point of reference, I had considered getting an insulated shell with more insulation, but one of the things I liked about this jacket is that, if necessary, I can still fit a Patagonia down sweater on as a mid-layer if necessary. It starts getting a little snug at that point, but it is definitely doable. I'd say give it a try and if the sizing ends up not working for you, take advantage of backcountry.com's excellent return policy. I compared several insulated ski jackets earlier this season, and this one was hands-down my favorite from a fit/feel perspective. Once I've got some more time in it, I'll post up a review.

Nice and Toasty

By:
January 18, 2010

The first time that I put this jacket on I knew that my search for an insulated ski jacket was over; wearing this jacket is like wrapping your favorite blanket around you. My favorite things: 1) a high collar that you can easily duck your lower face behind for extra coverage, 2) the long cut of the jacket gives extra warmth and does a thorough job of blocking the wind (still not sure why so many insulated jackets are only waist-length), and 3) a stowable hood means the hood is always there when you need it and it tucks away when you don't. The Sentry jacket is surprisingly warm for the little that it weighs, and the long pit zips do the job of letting you blow off extra heat if the weather starts warming up. As a ski instructor we have to wear the issued ski jackets for the staff, and there have been numerous days when I have longed to be able to put my Sentry jacket on. No doubt this is an expensive jacket (get it on sale if possible), but it is definitely worth it when the weather gets nasty.

The Sentry is the only one of the three that I have looked at, but I would definitely recommend it. The collar on the jacket is very high - it comes up almost to my mouth. This will be a pro for some since it provides lots of coverage, and a con for others who might not like the actual appearance. The Sentry jacket is surprisingly non-bulky, and it feels like a blanket when you wear it. The cut of this jacket is pretty relaxed - it leaves plenty of room to layer underneath it if necessary.

I'm sold on this jacket because of the flexibility that the Sentry offers: for warmer conditions (that warrant an insulated jacket), wear a baselayer. For colder conditions, there is plenty of room for a heavy sweater or a fleece jacket or a down/synthetic sweater. And the pit-zips always afford the ability to vent off extra heat.

In terms of warmth between the jackets that you are considering, the Orage uses a warmer insulation than this jacket (135 g/m as opposed to 100 g/m) while the North Face Jacket uses the same weight insulation. I'd at least recommend taking advantage of backcountry.com's excellent return policy and look at the jacket's side-by-side.

A couple details to consider. The Sentry uses Arc'teryx lamination to install the insulation. This does away with cold spots, helps the loft to last longer, and keeps the michelin man look away. Also, attention to detail, i.e. no exposed stitching, waterproof cuffs, and really durable face fabric that isn't boardy, make for a jacket that will last; and perform better on a daily basis. Design, materials, and construction are what make Arc'teryx distinctive from others.

I agree with Kevin and Kurt, Arc'teryx is simply the BEST. I am fighting the urge to purchase the Sentry, as I have five others--from the Scorpion down to the Epsilon. I love each one for different reasons, and I will not waste my time dealing with another company. Life is short; I don't have time to experiment. So don't waste your time trying to buy another brand, just break down and buy the best; it's worth every penny!

Warm and Dry

By:
October 6, 2009

The Sentry Jacket from Arc'teryx is the perfect package for resort and side country riding. I skied all last winter in this jacket, it kept me warm and I could get away with wearing light weight layers underneath it due to the warm and durable Primaloft insulation. I would recommend the Sentry to anyone who is interested in a high end Gore-Tex shell with the added benefit of low bulk insulation built in. The huge Pit Zips also really help the Sentry blow off steam quickly if you find yourself running a little hot. This Jacket is Sick!! Apparently I am not the only person who thinks so, check out Outside Magazine's 2010 winter buyer's guide for another glowing review!

Really, how breathable is this jacket? Doesn't the insulation and the lining in-between you and the gore-tex outer interfere with letting moisture out? Am I to believe that moisture (like from your back, for example) just passes through the lining and insulation unhindered?

Well, it depends on what you are doing. No waterproof fabric will breath enough to let all the moisture out when you are slogging up hill, but for most situations, Gore Tex works well.

Nice Insulated Jacket

By:
December 10, 2009

PRO'S: very comfortable and very light; this is made with Gortex Pro Shell 2 Layer which is softer, more comfortable and quieter than Pro Shell 3 Layer used in other high end hard shells (albeit not quite as durable); the fit of the jacket is great, not too baggy and plenty long (about 3 inches longer than the stingray); the helmet compatible hood/collar combination is the best I've seen in terms of warmth and freedom of movement when used over a helmet (other mfgs please take note); the powder skirt is positioned well (due to length of jacket) to cover mid layers; overall, very warm.

CON's: not everyone will like the look of the high collar/stowable hood combination. It does (IMO) look like you're wearing a neck brace, although it doesn't necessarily feel that way (comes close when the hood is stowed). Ofcourse, functionally (as mentioned above) it's great. It covers your face up to your nose so you won't be cold. Also, some may find the jacket very bland looking (personal taste). I believe Arcteryx did this intentionally for apres ski activities (doesn't look too "techy" off the slopes). The only other nit pick is the powder skirt. While the lenght of the jacket puts it in perfect position, it seems cheaper to me than the one used in the Stingray jacket. Not a bid deal, just a minor improvement that Arcteryx could make (IMO).

SUMMARY: Overall this is a great jacket. Ofcourse, there's always room for improvement (especially for $600). Personally, I would prefer the hood/collar combo and powder skirt like that of the Stingray, A few additional bells and whistes (as some would call them) would be nice such as a removeable hood and an iPod pocket. Ofcousre, many have come to love Arcteryx for their minimalist designs.

I hope this helps.

The Sentry uses Gore-Tex Pro-Shell in this coat. The Gore-Tex Performance (Arc doesn't use the second tier Gore) is essentially the older version of Gore; less breathable and less durable. The face fabric (and Primaloft insulation) is what gives the Sentry the softer feel, not the Gore laminate layer. This also contributes to the cost of the coat, and the performance, which is top-notch.

Following up on my last question, the Arcteryx website lists the Sentry as a 100gm/m2 Primaloft, while the Sceptre (women's equivalent) is shown as being 133gm/m2. Brandon - is the website correct, or are both jackets the 133gm/m2 as you indicated in your response? Thanks for the info!

From what I can see, it looks like these three jackets stack up like this on the warmth scale- Koven, Sentry, then Hoback. The Arc'teryx Sentry has a couple details to consider. Highest quality face fabric and Gore Pro-Shell (this will keep the jacket performing longer than any other waterproof/breathable membrane)Primaloft is 130gm, whereas the Hoback is 100gm. I found the Sentry to be a great warmth level for a wide variety of conditions; I've skied in 700 fill down jackets, and I'm always too hot, unless I'm standing around, not skiing (which is why I wear slightly less insulated jackets now; not too much standing around) If you want the absolute highest level of protection and warmth, check the Arc'teryx Fission SV.

The Arc'teryx Sentry is the most similar to the old Patriot. The Sentry uses a bit less insulation (130 gm compared to 200gm in Patriot) Also, has an even better face fabric, and uses Gore-Tex Pro Shell, so better breathablilty, durability, and drape. Additional, Arc'teryx added the roll-away hood, a better powder skirt, and pit-zips.
