Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket - Men's

Gore-Tex Pro fabric makes the Arc'teryx Men's Sidewinder SV Jacket tough as nails and provides it with the ability to take on nasty backcountry storms. Pitzips help you stay cool as you skin in the pre-dawn darkness toward your couloir of choice. The Sidewinder SV Jacket's powder skirt and hook-and-loop cuffs keep out the snow when you drop in for some fresh pow turns. When the weather turns ugly, just pull up the helmet-compatible hood and close the offset WaterTight front zipper to seal yourself into this Arc'teryx jacket as you skin back to the trailhead.

Bottom Line: With a burly face fabric and features to take on horrible weather, the Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket helps you get through any day of backcountry skiing.

what's the difference in the AR vs the SV besides the stowable hood?

There is not much actually, the hood is one, and the cut is a bit different. The sv stands for severe. AR for all around. I have the SV in the fission and honestly I wish I had the AR. Unless you need this as a shell that you will be only using for extreme weather, and mountaineering trips then consider the AR.

This is a shell Jacket without insulation, so it's not warm by itself, but is totally water and windproof. Just adjust the underlayers to keep you comfortable in any weather. Super nice jacket!

Stellar Shell

This thing is superb. It does not allow any water in and breathes really well. The pockets and powder skirt are all well designed. The hood is nice and large for helmets and still adjusts down to whatever size you need. The sidewinder is cool, but if it is unzipped and you get a high wind it can slap you pretty hard in the face so beware. When it comes to a great versatile shell for anything you need from Wasatch powder skiing to Seattle rains this thing takes care of you.

excellent jacket, but...

the coolest and best jacket I have ever tried. but I have a little thing to complain about, the front zipper, or the "main", zipper is not waterproof. well, at least not on mine. i`ve just tried it in harsh norwegian weather, and 3 places a few drops of water managed to get past the front zipper. maybe not a big thing, but when Arcteryx guarantee a waterproof jacket, and when the jacket costs 600 dollar, I expect a jacket that really is fully waterproof. ps: i wasnt out for more than 1,5 hours.. well, except from that the jacket really is amazing, the helmet - compatible hood, the powder skirt, the design.. impressive!
