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

Ranked #1756 - Men's Ski Jackets

Super satisfied with this shell. I beat the hell out of everything I own (not on purpose), and this is the one item I own that has held up to everything. I've worn it skiing 14 days, and it shows minimal wear from ripping through tree branches and against the occasional rock. Totally breathable, totally waterproof, and quite warm, even in high winds. I get cold easily, and am comfortable skiing with only a synthetic T, base layer, and this jacket on. If you want a coat that'll perform no matter what the task, go with something ProShell. The material is outstanding. As for the design (assym zipper), it's definitely unique, and I appreciate. However, if you snowboard Goofy, the zipper/zipper guard will totally bug you.
