Really torn between this jacket and the Arc'teryx Sidewinder. Like the Vertical because it has a removable hood and for days on the main mountain runs when it's not snowing, I don't know if I really feel like having a hood tag along. This jacket also looks like it has more pockets... true or not? Lastly, which jacket feels more like softshell fabric versus a noisy , crinkly shell?

If I recall correctly the sidewinder has one internal pocket. This one has three. I had the sidewinder SV and decided against it for this reason.This jacket is less "crinkly" than the sidewinder SV. Can't say for the AR. Neither feels like a softshell as neither is a softshell. The sidewinder's fabric is stiffer, which I believe is because it's 3-layer compared to this being 2-layer.
