Arc'teryx Sidewinder Men's GORE-TEX Shell Jacket

The Arc'teryx Sidewinder Jacket is a men's freeride hardshell built with 100D 3L GORE-TEX ePE fabric, a waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane with FC0 DWR finish. Its relaxed fit and articulated patterning support layering and movement for ski and snowboard use, while the curved Sidewinder Zipper cups the collar in front of the chin to prevent chafing.

Gusseted Velcro cuffs and a cinching hem seal out snow, and the helmet-compatible StormHood provides coverage in alpine winter conditions. The jacket is Fair Trade Certified and made with bluesign approved materials.
