Poster: A snowHead
|
Dear All
A long time since I've posted on here! Many years ago, I bought an Arc'Teryx Sidewinder jacket and it has been fantastic. After patching it up several times due to the line being discontinued, I'm searching for something else but without any success. There are other Arc'Teryx jackets but none are a shell with a stowable hood. I've no idea why they stopped doing them as I find the hood really irritating when it's down, hence why I haven't bought a new one.
Does anyone know of an Arc'Teryx jacket, or any other make for that matter, that is of a similar spec and the same quality and has a stowable hood?
I thought I'd found an Ortovox one that did the same thing but it wasn't a shell.
Hope everyone has a great time back on the slopes!!!
Cheers

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My Arcteryx Sidewinder Jacket from 2010 doesn't have a stowable hood, but my Arcteryx Stinger from same period does. I still have both
I can't see anything from Arcteryx, Jottnar, Norrona, Mammut, Mountain Equipment etc with stowable hoods. I guess the added manufacturing complexity doesn't make it worth their while.

I too used to have a Sidewinder with the stowable hood (Replaced this year with a Micon). I thought that was a good idea when I bought it, but after a short while didn't bother stowing it anymore, and mostly used my Sidewinder SV that has a non-stowing hood.

Based on the comment above, my Sidewinder must have been the SV version, as it doesn't have the stowable hood, and does have the diagonal zip.
