Arc’teryx Sidewinder Jacket Black

Innovative Design & Material Technology

The Arc’teryx Sidewinder hardshell integrates GORE-TEX Pro 3L technology with a 40D high-density nylon face fabric and ultra-thin microporous membrane, achieving 28,000mm waterproof rating and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability. The diamond-textured exterior enhances abrasion resistance (12N tear strength) while maintaining 0.3mm flexibility. Its 14-panel seamless construction incorporates pre-curved articulation at shoulders/elbows and a 360° RECCO® reflector for unrestricted movement during ice climbing or ski mountaineering.

All-Weather Protection

Featuring 22m laser-welded seam tape with 5mm reinforced sealing at stress points and AquaGuard® RS zippers (IPX8 rated). The 3D-adjustable StormHood™ accommodates climbing helmets, with magnetic collar closure blocking snow ingress. Dual-layer eco-DWR coating retains 80% efficacy after 20,000 abrasion cycles. Bi-directional underarm vents regulate microclimate from -30℃ to 15℃, maintaining <40% internal humidity during 8hr blizzard exposure tests.

Dynamic Ventilation Control

The patented Vapor Transfer Matrix combines honeycomb back panel and 14″ dual-armpit zippers for 27L/min airflow exchange during high exertion. 4-way stretch CoreLoft™ lining retains 95% thermal efficiency when wet, while the magnetic snap-in powder skirt integrates with harness systems. Field tests in alpine climbing scenarios show ±2℃ microclimate stabilization.

Professional-Grade Detailing

Acoustically tuned zipper pulls reduce noise by 62%, while Heat Map™ laser-cut pockets align with biomechanical stress points. Main compartment includes RFID shielding layer and ice screw loops. Tegris® reinforced cuffs withstand 50MPa impacts, with capacitive thumb loops for glove-compatible touchscreens. Avalanche beacon-compatible hem meets EN1077 safety certification with metal-free construction.
