Arc'teryx Sidewinder AR Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket

Ranked #170 - Men's Ski Jackets
December 15, 2008
I just got back from a weekend skiing in Crested Butte and the jacket performed great. It was a blizzard for half the day and the jacket was completly waterproof. I also found that the powder skirt worked great when I skied over a rock and yardsaled in about 18" of powder. Just a little info on sizing, I am 6'2" and 170lbs and I bought the large. Arm length is great coming down just below the wrist. Torso length is also good coming down about 5" below my hips which helps keep snow out. While the arm and torso lengths are perfect, I do have a lot of extra room in the arms and chest. I assume this is for layering but I still feel like there is a little too much extra room. However this a great all around jacket for a variety of backcountry pursuits!
