excellent jacket
This jacket is stylish and functional. It is incredibly thin, so plan to layer-up, but its lack of insulation makes it more versatile than a lined jacket. Enjoy!

Great!! Absolutely love this jacket!
Living in Canada, this is the perfect jacket for ALL seasons! Paired off with a fleece it's flexible enough for snowboarding or skiing, light weight for hiking, don't even have to worry if it rains! Love the hood with the adustable elastic so you can fit it to your size of head. The jacket really fits nicely to a woman's body. Thanks Altrec for the awesome deal and especially for free shipping!

This jacket is awesome
I recently took this jacket on a heli skiing trip and it was the best. I was very wind proof and warm. When I got warmed up from skking it was easy to cool down w/ vents. It was very durable - we skied in the trees a lot and it was able to take the beating. I was very happy w/ my purchase.

Best ski jacket
The Arc'Teryx Sidewinder AR jacket is the best ski jacket on the market, period. It is extremely well made and the quality is head and should above other brands. Unlike many other ski jackets which are baggy and heavy, this jacket is very light and form fitting, yet still has room for layering. It also looks great. The Gore-Tex XCR fabric does a wonderful job blocking water and wind. In heavy downpour it keeps completely dry and warm. BTW, the Butter color is very nice, none of this year's new colors looks as nice. Thank you Altrec for such a great deal!

Perfect!
I love this jacket!! Living in Alaska presents some very unique weather conditions and this jacket fits all conditions perfectly. The functionality is terrific! Also,I do a great deal of purchasing on-line - Altrec is one of the best companies I've dealt with in a long time. Great job!

Very nice shell
This jacket is a very nice shell, but not too warm for serious winters.

absolutely the best jacket
I bought this for my GF. She loves it. It shapes for a woman's body perfectly. It is a total storm shelter.

Perfect ski jacket
This is the best ski jacket ever. It's highly breathable and very light. Completely waterproof and windproof. The fit is excellent, but maybe on the tight side with layering. The butter color looks very nice. Thanks to Altrec for the great deal!

KA-booom
The jacket made me ski faster. It's so aerodynamic, I almost broke the speed of sound. KA-booom.

Wicked Coat
Awesome coat ! I love this shell. The high zip up neck is key. The hood is nice and big and adjustable. The only problem is the pockets are awkward when full. I highly recommend this shell to anyone who likes to shred the snow or go after any other serious outdoor adventure.

Looks good, feels good
I have been a loyal Arc'Teryx fan for a few years - and this is another great jacket from them. It's very feminine but incredibly sturdy. The only con is that with the hood rolled up (as I almost always have it) the collar won't zip all the way up if I'm wearring something underneath that has a turtleneck (like my Alchemy jacket). But overall I really like it. I strongly recommend it but it is sort of on the snug side - I wear a women's size small for most shirts, and I originally ordered this in a small, but with layers underneath I had to exchange up to a medium.

Severe use?
This severe use jacket fits phenomenally to my shape and I love the zips and Ricco feature - but its not that warm. Would definitely recommend layering. My first day of skiing in 24 inches of powder on a cold windy flat light day yielded great wind stopper and waterproof protection, just not the warmth.
