Arc'teryx Men's Stingray Jacket Arc'teryx: Men's Stingray Jacket

Gore-Tex® softshell fabric offers a wide comfort range. Includes a gripper elastic powder skirt.

A full-featured GORE-TEX® softshell storm buster the Arc'teryx Men's Stingray Jacket is a great choice for the myriad of weather conditions that confront the big mountain skier or snowboarder. The 3-layer GORE-TEX® material consists of a rugged nylon face waterproof membrane and soft brushed knit polyester liner. Paired with a midweight or lightweight baselayer it's all you need for mild days; yet on cold snowy days it acts as a trustworthy barrier over the top of an insulating layer. A laminated powder skirt with gripper elastic hem seals out the waist deep stuff and a Drop Hood offers room for helmet-clad descents. Updated anatomical patterning includes gusseted underarms and articulated elbows for a fit that moves with you not against you when making a high speed pole plant or landing an acrobatic jump.

High quality finish is what one would expect from Arc'teryx. Extremely comfortable. Only downside for me was the arm length which I found to be longer than with other my other 7 Arc'teryx jackets.


great shell, but don't expect to wear a helmet with the hood. Image: 5 Stars

Great shell. I took it to Breckenridge with temperatures ranging from 5-20 with gust of 30mph winds. Didn't feel a thing. BUT...The hood is not compatible with a helmet (Giro 9). I was a little bummed about this fact. The wind was so cold that I would have liked to put the hood over my helmet. The zippers are impossible to work with gloves (Marmot seems to have them beat on this with the little rubber grabbers on their zippers). Still glad I bought it.


A great shell for what it was designed for. Image: 5 Stars

The review at top is odd: "Almost replaces the need to have a hardshell." This is a hardshell; they have just incorporated a "softer" outer fabric rather that the heavier stiffer outer shell found on most of their stuff. It's not XCR so it is 25% less breathable. Big deal. Arc'teryx stuff was designed after climbing first and breathabilty would be a far great consideration in that sport rather than in bounds skiing which is where their target market lies for this jacket. It's a far less roomy shell than the Sidewinder so your actual size although ample in arm lenth will not be as accommodating through the body and body length is also a couple of inches shorter than the same size Sidewinder. I would imagine the outer fabric is very durable more so than 99% of us would require but not like the Sidewinder SV. So if you're doing alot of true backcountry skinning or hiking with your skies/board strapped on etc I would recommend the breathability and tougher shell of the Sidewinder SV over this unit. Honestly what is there not to like about Arc'teryx? Their stuff could just as easily hang in a museaum as art; it's really that nicely made. It's always very simple with beautiful consisitent construction with no frills. I have found frills are almost always unecessary and just add bulk. Unlike the last review get any color other than the grey. Everybody has it. Seriously all of the colors look great in the Stingrays and I feel this is the first shell in Arc's line that not only looks hardcore but is also really slick looking.


One of the best shells made Image: 5 Stars

I have been looking for a new shell that can be worn skiing as well as cooler temperatures that was water proof looked good and wore well. There is really no comparison to the quality of Arcteryx clothing so I will concentrate on what this model offers. I tried the shells like beta alpha and theta and the thicker shells for snow sport. I disregarded the insulated shells since they are warmer and limits their use to winter only. The hard shells like alpha theta etc felt to thin to wear unless is used for technical reasons. This left the scorpion the sidewinder and the stingray. The Sidewinder did not appeal to me due to the external material that it is not as appealing in the opposite end the scorpion does not seem to have the rugged exterior that the stingray has. The stingray has a smooth yet rough exterior that it is very nice to the touch and while providing the jacted with a sense of durability. The sleeves have a velcro attachment that provides a very nice look to it the linning is thin enough to be worn on srping and fall and ligth enough to layer for warm ski days while it provide the room to layer up for those cold skiing days. Overall is a wonderfull jacket that will provide use over the 3 seasons.

this jacket is great i got it 3 months ago and it has tons of room for layers underneath the shell. it allows tons of mobility. but i highly suggest more than 1 layer because it is not well insulated
