Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0008 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Sidewinder ain't my style

By Ranked #3045 - Men's Ski Jackets November 17, 2006

Arcteryx's quality is undeniable, but I think that they are for climbers 1st, and skiers 2nd or so. I'm always digging in my jacket for something, and I found the sealed zippers to be a problem. They are hard to manipulate, especially with gloves on. First, the main zipper would stick where it angles. This might be due to my neckgator, which I always wear. Second, I found that there weren't enough internal pockets. Third, none of their products have a mesh liner to save weight.
