If you don't know ArcTeryx Products, you won't believe this jacket. It shocks the heck out of me that they can manufacture a shell of this thickness (not much) while keeping…

Holly Moose poop, $475 for a jacket! Never thought I’d buy a jacket that cost this much, but wish I would have purchased it earlier. I live in Germany and while I’ve only…

I was felt completely comfortable at -22 F (-30 degrees C) with everyday wear under a jacket. It is fully wind- and water- proof, plus keeps the heat inside. Adjusting the hoo…

The jacket is surprisingly light and it isn't bulky. It can be easily stowed or packed. The core loft performs well to heat you up. The warmth spreads almost immediately after…

This shell will 100% keep you dry while out in wet weather. The only reason I did not give it "5 stars" is because it could be a little longer in length. I have been wearing a…

I LOVE this jacket! Not only is it functional, warm, breathable, light and waterproof, but it looks great as well! I get compliments on this coat all the time! I got the Black…

The Stingray jacket never failed to return every penny spent on it in function and versatility as an all-around weather terrain jacket. I like to layer on the warmer side & sh…

This jacket is the absolutely best jacket I have for winter activities, especially backcountry skiing. The jacket is built a little large so one can throw on a warm underlaye…

This jacket is very cool and extremely well made. The front pockets are positioned so that you may access them while wearing your backpack harness, making my trips a lot easie…

I got this jacket for snow shoeing in the cascades. I wanted something different from my normal shell I wear and I wanted it to be a little warmer but not insulated. The soft…

Long enough to cover your bum. Sleeves big enough to fit over mitts. Covers your face. Roomy enough to layer to keep warm. Only problem would be that if you get it big eno…

Very lightweight but also very warm. Guess in fancy terms, that means the warmth to weight ratio is outstanding but that sounds like math. Seriously, great jacket - extremel…

Just received this today (blue/purple color). Looks great and is not too baggy like most jackets now, and is not especially long, which I like (contra the Patagonia POW Slayer…

This jacket is great fit/materials wise but the features are not as well thought out as other new snowsport jackets (crossbow, sabre sv, vertical sv). The problem I have is th…

Unlike other Arcteryx, this is the relaxed fit one. I always wear their usual large; but Micon Large is equal to usual XL for "roomier fit" and for better movement as they cla…

Arcteryx always makes high quality gear and this jacket is no exception. I previously had the stingray, and this jacket is better than that. It is thigh length so that means…

This is simply a great winter jacket. I use it as an everyday winter jacket, in addition to skiing and other activities. The soft shell is great and makes a lot less noise t…

I wore this when I camped in Hell, MI last year (surprisingly cold-below freezing). It hit right above my hips. I'm a 36D and the medium fit perfect everywhere, even when I w…

I owned the first generation and demo'd the second generation of this jacket and I have to say that the latest generation is a complete re-design of the stingray. I have to sa…

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this jacket and that it was in my go-to bag of stuff for skiing/hiking/living-in-a-state-that-never-stops-raining. It's very wat…

So, like a lot of Arcteryx gear, this jacket seems to have taken a direct aim at fixing the problem of a minority of users. Namely, the offset top of the main zipper which som…

I am satisfied with this product very much. For Field to use, it becomes a skiing area and the backcountry. It is very high-performance functionally and is excellent about t…

Took this jacket skiing in British Columbia. A bit warm for the bottom of the mountain, but kept me warm on the chair lift and up top. Lots of room to move. I wore a silk b…
