Originally launched 25 years ago as proof that Gore-Tex could hold up on the steepest lines, the 2027 edition returns with a modernized fit and updated materials — still uncompromising, still built for the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with Gore-Tex 3L mapped across the body and hood — using a recycled nylon face fabric free from intentionally added PFAS — the Sidewinder delivers full waterproof and windproof protection without sacrificing breathability. The relaxed fit moves freely over layering, pit zippers allow rapid venting when the effort ramps up, and the signature thermomoulded Sidewinder zipper cups the chin guard to eliminate chafe. The helmet-compatible StormHood™ with brim holds its shape in wind, while gusseted Velcro® cuffs and a cinching hem seal out the elements at every opening. Storage includes two hand pockets, a chest pocket, two internal mesh dump pockets (one with a zip), a sleeve pass pocket, and a stash pocket. A RECCO® reflector is integrated for search-and-rescue visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sidewinder is made for freeride and backcountry snowboarders who spend full days in variable, high-consequence conditions. If you're lapping storm days in the trees or dropping into exposed alpine terrain, the Gore-Tex 3L construction and weatherproof sealing have your back. The relaxed cut also works well for all-mountain riders who want technical protection without a trim race fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sidewinder compatible with Arc'teryx bibs or pants?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the hem and fit are designed to work with compatible Arc'teryx snow pants, though powder-skirt integration should be confirmed with the specific pants model you're pairing it with.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work as a standalone jacket or strictly a shell?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sidewinder is a shell, meaning it has no built-in insulation. It's designed to be worn over a mid-layer, giving you flexibility to adjust warmth based on conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arcteryx","offers":[{"title":"LRG \/ DARK JADE\/BLACK","offer_id":67978666770621,"sku":"ARX-MAN-X000010804-2027-WT27-LRG-DARK JADE\/BLACK","price":1099.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/8303\/files\/F26-X000010804-Sidewinder-Jacket.jpg?v=1793024042","url":"https:\/\/thankempire.com\/products\/arcteryx-gore-tex-sidewinder-2027-shell-jacket-wt27","provider":"Empire Online Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
