Arc'teryx Stinger Jacket - Men's
Whoa.

Ranked #567 - Men's Ski Jackets
April 13, 2010
Let me start this review by admitting that I am a gear WHORE. I have way more jackets than I care to admit, and this one is the crown jewel of my collection.
I ski on Mt. Hood where the snow is wet, albeit plentiful. In those conditions, this jacket kills it. I stay dry all day, even when it's dumping and there are already 2 or 3 feet on the ground.
It is sized up, though I would not recommend sizing down. I am 6'0, 145 lbs and the small fits perfectly (room for several thin layers or a down jacket).
When it gets warmer, unzip the pit zips and let the goretex breathe for you. It's really pretty awesome.
Finally, I LOVE the high collar--no more soggy bandannas or nerdy facemasks for this skier!
