The midweight insulation and wind protection of the Arc'teryx Men's Sniper Zip Jacket makes it a versatile choice for nearly any outdoor activity. Whether you go climbing, hiking, camping, backcountry skiing, or trail running, this ½-zip pullover gets the job done. Thanks to Polartec Wind Pro fleece fabric, the Sniper Zip Jacket works as either an outer layer or mid-layer, depending on how good or bad the weather is on a given day.
Bottom Line: Be ready for nearly any day in the outdoors with the versatile Arc'teryx Sniper Zip Jacket.
How does the sniper sizing compare with other arcteryx pullovers? I'm a L in covert, but xl in delta ar. Curious if this is a relaxed fit like covert, or more of a performance fit like delta. I'm 6'4" and 200lbs and often fall between a L and XLThanks
The majority of the Arcteryx mid-layer jackets are a full zip, so thats a significant difference. Some of the pullovers are made of wool, while this one is Polartec Wind Pro, which is a very effective wind blocking layer. I feel half zips are very versatile and great for layering. as for the fit, i dont know. Hopefully someone else can answer that...
Great fit and the windblock is almost too good for me as this is a very warm fleece for my body. I usually wear mid/exp weight fleece while skiing and the Sniper is the warmest thing I've ever layered with. For typical in area skiing the Sniper is too warm to layer (but I also tend to run warmer than my friends). It is a great mid/outer layer for backcountry trips and dry days when a shell isn't needed.
Im 6'5" and skinny 185lbs. What size? Uusally wear a 16" 36/37" fitted dress shirt. I like an athletic fit and not baggy at all. Any suggestions? If not this jacket which one? Worried about sleeve length too.
I'm 6'2" 190 and the large is perfect for me. I would definitely go to XL, especially if you have long arms and a skinny trunk, like I do.--Yeah, Rhino, I too wonder why it is assumed that if one is tall, one must surely be overweight. Alas, Arc'teryx is about as good as it gets for sizing for tall, lean dudes. I have a friend who has even had some of his dead birds tailored.
This jacket is a perfect warm layer. The thickness of the material is considerably more than your typical fleece. Perfect for windy days as well, and great style for having a beer slopeside.
i have a question about arcteryx's upper arm pocket that they seem to put on EVERYTHING: is the arm pocket actually useful, or is it just a style thing? because i also notice that they just like putting pockets in weird places, such as on their beanies, and on their scarves... does anybody know?
I've got both jackets, well I actually swapped my arc' for this marmot and used the arm pocket for the same things. I use them for smaller maps, maybe a compass as well or anything else small that I might need to get out a little more often. They're useful for that in my opinion. As for the pockets in beanies, scarves etc. I think that's more of a marketing thing personally. Can't seem to think of anything that those would be useful for.
Used...and I mean used this jacket on the North Shore (Lake Superior Minnesota..Grand Marais) in January. Wind protection was excellent. The DWR finish withstood sleet and snow. The jacket took a beating for 1 week in the Boundary Water wilderness and was ready for a night at the local tavern when back into civilization. Excellent softshell jacket to protect you from the wind and drizzle. A must on any hike.
