Arc'teryx Sidewinder AR Jacket - Women's

New shaping and forward-leaning articulation has increased the performance and comfort of this iconic jacket. The Sidewinder front zipper reduces zipper stack, a Stow Hood protects when storms hit, and an adjustable powder skirt thwarts deep snow. The Men's model features lightweight and durable GORE-TEX Pro Shell textiles, and the women's sports a tapered silhouette style shaped especially for women. You can layer up for big vertical and the stowable hood is inside for nasty deep days. This is the performance choice for dropping into chutes or carving up bowls.

They deliver superior protection against extended wet weather conditions through the use of advanced garment design techniques.

RECCO® 
An avalanche rescue system utilized by more than 600 rescue organizations worldwide to assist in the efficient location of burials. RECCO technology enables rapid directional pinpointing of a victim'­s precise location using harmonic radar. The two-part system consists of a RECCO®  detector used by organized rescue groups, and RECCO®  reflectors that are integrated into apparel, helmets, protection gear or boots. The reflector is permanently affixed, requires no training for use and needs no batteries to function.

The RECCO system is not intended for self-rescue nor is it an alternative to transceiver use in the backcountry.
