BeeCee. Thx. I have the Sigma AR. How does Venta SV compare (other than hood)? What is the length and warmth of Venta vs Sigma? Are the insides of the hand pockets perforated by the Sigma? Thanks, Steve

Comparing the Arc'teryx Sigma AR and SV: Same inside fabric for both, so warmth is equivalent, Venta has a smoother face fabric that gives it better shedding ability. Also, the new Venta SV has taped seams (not totally waterproof, but damn close) and has a bit more length (about 1.5 inches) and velcro-adjustable cuffs, the AR has fixed cuffs. Both have mesh lined pockets
