The Arc’Teryx Sidewinder ski & snowboard shell jacket gets an update for its 25th anniversary. It remains the only jacket on the market with an asymmetrical main zipper that isn’t uncomfortable! There’s no stiffness around the neck nor any sagging of fabric in this area, keeping full storm protection completely intact.
It didn’t take us long to bestow a Test4outside First Award upon this jacket, which turns in a flawless performance. The lack of a powder skirt could have cost it this distinction, but who really uses that accessory anymore? Without a powder skirt, the Arc’Teryx Sidewinder gains multi-season versatility, making it easily adaptable for year-round use.
Waterproofing is top-tier. Offering maximum weather protection, not a single trace of moisture made it inside. All zippers are watertight, of exceptional quality, and easy to operate. The hood is generous and ready to accommodate a ski helmet without restriction.
The fit is roomier—be sure to select your size according to your intended layering setup. An insulating mid-layer easily fits underneath this hardshell. The numerous pockets are all fully waterproof and ultra-practical.
And of course, there is Arc’Teryx’s legendary build quality: meticulous attention to detail, flawless finishing, and top-tier materials. The use of Gore-Tex ensures the Arc’Teryx Sidewinder delivers excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing.This is a built-to-last jacket.
An update to the famous jacket with the offset center zip. A true must-have. Waterproofing, durability, practicality, and construction quality: everything is there—including the very high price tag! A well-deserved Test4outside First Award.
