Trying to decide between the sidewinder sv and the ar.....Suggestions? The only difference I can tell is the hood and not entirely sure it'd be worth it. Is it?

difference between the Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV and AR is the amount of reinforcement fabric, the AR uses this extra durable fabric on shoulders down to lower arm and across the bottom hem. The SV is made entirely from the higher thread count fabric.

I believe the face fabric on the SV is heavier duty compared to the AR.

The hood is one of the bigger differences, so you have to ask yourself if you want a fixed hood or a stowable hood. They are both Gore-Tex Pro Shell, they both have powder skirt and are nearly the same weight. If you are going for a cheaper price, go for the AR.
