So this is a review for the current Stingray jacket (its the 3rd generation stingray). I owned the first gen. which was great but cut way too short. I demo'd the second generation which addressed the length issue, had better articulation, and the gore tex fabric was changed (more durable). The latest generation is a complete re-design of the stingray (with the same materials). I have to say I really miss the old design, but the new shaping and colors are great. I quickly fell in love with this new style of Stingray. I was skeptical about the pocket design at first, but they are very roomy and really easy to access (they are nice and long too). They are not blocked when you wear a pack, and the shoulder pocket is now large enough to carry my i-phone comfortably. There is only 1 inner pocket, I wish arcteryx had placed another one (perhaps a mesh one) on the inside as well.

I highly recommend the Stingray if you are looking for a great snow-sport jacket look no further. The light fleece lining is soft on your skin and provides a tiny bit insulation. It has a great length in the torso and arms. The hood is perfect over a helmet or can be cinched up when not in use. Materials and craftsmanship are top notch as you would expect from Arcteryx (just could use 1 more inner pocket ;) otherwise perfect
