Arc'teryx Stingray Softshell Jacket - Women's

Item #ARC0842 | 54 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Bermuda Blue is my new favorite color

By Ranked #638 - Women's Ski Jackets April 23, 2009

I'm a little embarrassed to be so enamored with an inanimate object, but, what the heck: I am head-over-heels for my Stingray jacket in Bermuda Blue. This is, in my opinion, the nicest looking ski jacket I've ever seen. The color is really vibrant, more so in person than on the computer screen. In fact, you'll be so recognizable on the slope that you may think twice about jumping out of bounds. Of course, beauty is not only skin deep with this jacket. The fabric has a very nice feel and excellent water resistance, the hood fits over my helmet with just the right snugness, the collar is high enough to keep my chin warm while hunkering down on the lift, the pit zips are functional while wearing gloves, and the pockets are accessible with my backpack on. The relaxed fit might not be very Euro, but I appreciate having plenty of room to layer, and that wouldn't really be my style anyway. Despite my rave review, there is *no way* I would buy this at full price (for budgetary reasons). Extend that radar for awesome sales on SAC and backcountry.com and you will be generously rewarded for your diligence.
