This season, don't just survive big mountain weather, charge right through it with the Arc'teryx Men's Sidewinder SV Jacket. The 480N MG GORE-TEX 3-layer Pro fabric features a revolutionary Micro Grid woven backer that is very durable, breathable, and allows for reduced seam allowances and narrower taped seams. This makes the jacket lighter and more supple. Laminated construction techniques provide the clean, stylish finish that rightfully gives the jacket its signature Arc'teryx look. After all, Arc'teryx introduced this innovative construction technique to the outdoor industry in 1998, thereby opening the door to a new era of technical outerwear that cuts weight, improves garment strength, and reduces bulk. Additional performance features include two-way pit zips for ventilation, a helmet compatible Drop Hood with stealth brim adjuster, laminated powder skirt to seal out spindrift, and a Recco avalanche reflector. The Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket for men offers a roomy, articulated fit for maximum freedom of motion. It gets its name from the Sidewinder front zipper that tracks to the side of the chin for optimal comfort.

Customer Reviews for the Sidewinder SV Arc'teryx Men's Jacket

Yu Min - December 9, 2009

great jacket
This was my go to jacket in everything but the coldest conditions. I loved it. The jacket is super tough. It has a nice streamlined look and pockets in the right places. My only beef with the jacket is that the hood is a pinch small when wearing a helmet. When conditions got brutal I would try to pull the hood up over my Giro helmet and it wouldn't fit. I works fine with my Bern helmet though.

Simply the best!
Wore it daily over a light fleece on a 3-day mountain hiking trip in constant rain and cold weather last summer. My 3 fellow hikers all wore Gore-tex shells, but I was the only one who stayed comfortably dry and warm. Think I also created 3 new Arc'teryx customers!

Awesome Jacket
Overall great jacket. Performed well on numerous ski trips and look forward to next winter. The only downfall is the curved zipper flaps around if it is not fully zipped while skiing. I highly recommend

Phenomenal piece.
Awesome jacket and really lightweight. One thing i noted is there's glue mark left on the collar from the hood lamination. No big deal. Will be taking it to Lk. Louise this weekend. Zipper is tight and i love that sidewinder features. Hood is really easy to work with.
