In addition to a slew of ski features, the Arc'teryx Men's Stingray Jacket uses Gore-Tex Softshell fabric to provide winter-ready performance and excellent breathability. Add WaterTight Underarm zips into the equation, and the Stingray Jacket turns a sweaty approach into a cool stroll. Arc'teryx included a helmet-compatible hood and integrated powder skirt to keep the inside snow-free no matter how bad the weather or how deep the powder. A RECCO reflector may help ski patrol find you in the event of an avalanche.
Bottom Line: Bring all the advantages of Gore-Tex Softshell on your next ski trip with the Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket.
This is simply the best shell out there. No wind or weather can get at you wearing this one! Extra room for layering for the cold days, even in the arms! ( which is a problem for some of their other shells...the Scorpion to be exact.)Helmet compatible storm hood is a real plus when the temps drop, although it only seems to stay on when riding the lift. Great construction, great performance, and GREAT LOOKS! I LOVE IT!
it was coming down cats and dogs and whatever other animals it comes down yesterday and I had to walk a half mile back to my car. Take God I had my stingray! I put on some cheap waterproof pants and my arcteryx and headed out! I thought I was the baddest mother just thrashing through the rain without missing a beat. Then it happened. It was "picture perfect" and I was in the right place at the right time. A giant truck was flying down the road and with it came a giant "picture perfect" wall of water that crashed me! if I wasn't already wet from the rain now I was covered from head to toe. It stopped me in my tracks and all I could do was turn around and look at the trunk with a shrug. Then it happened again. Another "picture pefect" wall of water hits me in the back while I am still looking at the first truck. True story I swear! I finally got back to my car, then back home and I couldn't wait to see if any water had gotten through. As to my excitement I was dry as a bone!
the jacket is bigger (wide) than I would have thought, but length is perfect. It is made to have more layers under it and this jacket by itself wont keep you warm. at least not on an extreme cooled day.
it packs very small considering its a real jacket. but thats expected from Arc'teryx. Over all, best jacket hand down I have ever owned. well worth the money!
This is my third Arc’teryx jacket. I have the Sidewinder as well and now alternate between the two for skiing. This jacket is very well made and will keep you dry under any conditions skiing. The fit is great around the arms/shoulders, but this jacket is a little snug when compared to the Sidewinder. You can’t go wrong with this jacket.
