Arc'teryx  Sabre SV Jacket - Men's

I purchased the Sabre SV jacket in Blaze / Copper Sky along with the matching pants at the same time, in store, expecting a cohesive set. Unfortunately, the browns do not match. The difference is immediately noticeable under day light and reads more like two different washes than intentional variation. For a brand like Arc’teryx, especially at this price point, color consistency across a jacket and its corresponding pants should be a given. Buying both pieces together in store makes this especially disappointing, as this is not a case of mixing seasons or batches. It feels like a design or production oversight rather than a minor discrepancy. Functionally, both pieces perform well, but the visual mismatch is hard to overlook when worn together.

This jacket is everything you'd want in a ski shell. It feels bomber with a properly burly construction and generous fit. Lots of waterproof shells are going ultra-lightweight but this thing is a throwback to heavy-duty Arc shells of yesteryear. It's still packable but doesn't skimp on the robust build that made OG Arc'teryx shells great. Fit is perfect. I'm usually between a Medium and Large but this is roomy enough for the Medium to fit well with layers underneath.

I have had Arcteryx jackets for years. Durability, has been excellent. While it is a shell, the insulation happens when it is windy out prevents cooling which I count on as insulation. Waterproofness is fabulous. Hood size is great when wearing a helmet, length is really good. Plus the Azelea colour is awesome, finally a good purple to choose from too.

I've been a long-time fan, supporter, and customer of Arc'teryx. I've worn their jackets for snowboarding for well over a decade and have never had any issues. My previous jacket was a Sabre, and it was a great jacket. This specific model, Sabre SV from the 2025/2026 season uses a new fabric. While the fabric looks nice, its texture is extremely rough. It’s so abrasive that after a single day of snowboarding, simply turning your head over and over will rub the skin off of your lips. It feels like having 350 grit sandpaper pressed against your face all day. If you keep the jacket zipped up and move your head back and forth to check your blind spots while riding, you can end up with a rash on your face. I’m genuinely confused as to how this product made it to market in this condition. This jacket should be recalled. I hope Arc'teryx addresses this issue and returns to providing riders with the high-quality jackets and gear they’ve been known for over so many years.

Weight and functionality. Excellent as advertised. I like the weight for Alpine Resort skiing, but also into slightly more aggressive out-of-bounds ventures. Features such as pockets are great. I bought this article to fit a 100 kilo 188 cm tall male.

Thank you, Arc’teryx, for this fantastic product. Excellent stitching and super-robust zippers. It makes you feel incredibly well protected. I’m 180 cm tall and weigh 90 kg; for a slightly baggier style I chose size XL, and I’m thrilled with how it fits.

The Sabre SV Jacket is one of the most durable and waterproofed Freeride Jackets out there. It is perfect for stormy Winter conditions, for all sorts of durable challenges the mountain offers and also a perfect fit for the Freeride style.

I still can’t figure out what you get for $US900 ? Huge logo maybe ? Absolutely zero confidence in the front zipper , by far the cheapest I have had . Wanted a longer and roomier shell and that is what I got .

Veldig fornøyd med kjøpet. Kjøpte jakken i størrelse M. Jeg er 180, 82 kg, relativt godt trent. Jakken er stor i størrelsen. Selv med Atom Hoody under er det god plass i jakken.

I use mine for protection from rain. I am very happy with the performance. I also like how airtight it is, especially the seals on the zippers
