Arc’teryx has long established themselves at the forefront or pinnacle of outdoor gear. Take your pick which one. The company was founded in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains and they’ve always produced high-quality, technical products inspired by their environment. Alongside their athlete team, who are constantly testing and giving feedback, Arc’teryx has cracked the combination to produce gear that stands up to anything. Nowhere is Arc’teryx’s commitment to functionality more apparent than in their men’s Sabre AR jacket.

The Sabre AR jacket is designed for big mountain ski and snowboard terrain. It comes with a warm flannel liner and helmet compatible StormHood™. Nonetheless, the jacket has excellent touring capabilities due to Arc’teryx’s AR or All-Round designation. The Sabre AR weighs in at only 700 grams. The jacket has great freedom of motion and incorporates breathable GORE-TEX so you don’t get too hot on the uphill or while traversing. For extra climate control, each jacket also has WaterTight pit zips, which provide rapid ventilation.

When you reach the top of the ridgeline and the wind is blowing, the proprietary StormHood™ cinches securely around a helmet giving added warmth while not sacrificing visibility. Additionally, both jackets have easy to reach pockets, which make a big difference when wearing a pack. For the downhill, the Sabre AR jacket comes with a great fitting powder skirt but can attach to Arc’teryx’s corresponding line of pants to create a snowproof system as well.
