Arc'teryx Stinger Jacket - Men's DO NOT USE

Item #ARC0711 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Sick Jacket but didn't like the collar and hood

By Backcountry.com Employee November 24, 2008

I gave this jacket 5 stars because it truly is a sick jacket. However I didn't like the stowable hood system. It made the collar really rigid. I also didn't particularly like the height of the collar. If you need a jacket of this caliber, I would recommend the Sidewinder SV over the Stinger. One thing to consider when ordering Arc'Teryx Tech Shells, these jackets really fit true to size. Don't make the mistake I made by ordering a size up to accommodate layering. I'm 5'7", weigh 140 pounds and medium was way too big.
