Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Men's
Sweeet

Ranked #301 - Men's Ski Jackets
October 3, 2011
I picked this up to replace a backcountry.com stoic 3.0 as my go to ski jacket. It was a good call. At first I was worried about the durability of the softshell material (especially when compared to the burliness of the stoic), but after plowing through several tree branches of varying degrees of unfriendliness its proved itself to be pretty tough. The powder skirt works well, the jacket breathes (g-tex), and of course its totally wtpf. Also, the hood does fit over a helmet. I only have two small problems with it, and they are pretty insignificant. The fuzzy fleece lining on the inside catches on wool (or anything that's not swishy), and the pit zips could use mesh to keep snow out. But yea, an awesome jacket all in all. Try and get it for cheaper than $500 and it will be even more awesome.
