Freeride conditions can change by the run, from face shots in deep powder to tight trees, exposed ridgelines, and stormy weather. The Arc’teryx Sabre Jacket – Men’s is built for skiers who push hard inbounds and out, combining rugged weather protection with the mobility and features needed for demanding days on the mountain. Its 3L GORE-TEX ePE construction pairs a durable 100-denier recycled nylon face fabric with waterproof, windproof, breathable performance, while a soft flannel backer adds comfort in cold conditions. An updated modern fit provides room to move through technical terrain, and the helmet-compatible StormHood offers coverage when the weather rolls in. A powder skirt with gripper elastic helps keep snow out during deep days, while an expanded pocket layout and integrated goggle wipe keep essentials close at hand. Durable, functional, and designed around downhill performance, the Sabre is a dependable shell for all-season freeride missions.
Durable Water Repellent (DWR) is a special treatment applied to most GORE‑TEX products. FCO DWR is a unique PFAS-free DWR treatment that offers the highest levels of performance with a lower chemical footprint.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the Arcteryx StormHood™ delivers uncompromising protection. This helmet-compatible hood provides full coverage against wind, rain, and snow while maintaining a secure, ergonomic fit. Adjustable drawcords allow quick, single-handed customization, and the structured brim helps shield your face from the elements without collapsing or flapping in high winds.

RECCO® Rescue System is a two-part technology. Ski resorts and mountain rescue teams carry RECCO® detectors, which send out a search signal. RECCO® reflectors worn in clothing bounce back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. Unlike other technologies, multiple RECCO® reflectors on a person can improve detection.
