Equipped to handle the deep stuff, the ARCTERYX Sidewinder AR Jacket is an all-mountain jacket constructed of the new tough, lightweight GORE-TEX PRO SHELL material. It provides complete protection from weather while incorporating design elements that make it the quintessential cover for wintertime descents.

  • Fully waterproof, the Tiny GORE-TEX seam taped GORE-TEX PRO SHELL 3-layer fabric is very light weight and exceptionally breathable
  • Create a barrier against the elements in the laminated powder skirt with gripper elastic and snap closure along with Velcro cuffs
  • Keep your head safe and dry - Helmet compatible stow hood with one hand pull cords is super-easy to adjust
  • Regulate your heat easily by adjusting the two-way Pit Zips
  • Built-in Recco Rescue System Reflector increases your chance for being found if caught in an in-ski-area avalanche
  • Avoid the multiple-zipper dilemma - curved Sidewinder Zipper moves to the side so all you feel on your face is the comfortable quick-dry chin guard
  • Laminated Opti radio pocket for your electronics, two hand pockets, two internal pockets and once chest pocket
  • Keep every drop of water out with WaterTight zippers and molded Zipper Garages
  • Weight: 1 lb 9 oz
    • Waterproofing: GORE-TEX 3-layer PRO SHELL
      • Fabric: 380-denier ripstop nylon
        • Secondary fabric: 480-denier nylon

"This is the most amazing hardshell I have ever bought (As it should be for the price tag) Let me start by saying over the years I have moved from North Face to all Arcteryx. I have numerous layering pieces including the Gamma SV softshell. All I was missing was a good hard shell. After hours of online research on this, the Theta AR and North Face Free Thinker I made the decision. Only 1 problem the sizing.. SIZE..." Read Full Review »

"I purchased this jacket in '06 and used it for 6 weeks in Wyoming and Tahoe. Overall I am pretty happy with the jacket. I'm 6'4" and 230lbs and like the way it fits. I also like the lightweight, yet very durable and waterproof material. I used Marmot and Northface jackets in the past. The arms have ample room, can move freely and not feel restricted. I liked the see through arm pocket for ski pass and the l..." Read Full Review »

"So I'd been wearing the same Columbia snow jacket since just after college - almost 10 years - being completely unaware that there was a such thing as snowsport fashion.
