Is the Sabre SV warm enough on its own?

No. It is an uninsulated shell, so you layer a midlayer under it for cold days. That makes it flexible across seasons and conditions.

How does it differ from the regular Sabre?

The SV is the tougher, more weatherproof build with GORE-TEX PRO fabric. The standard Sabre is lighter and more packable, while the SV favors durability for hard storm use.

Does the hood fit over a ski helmet?

Yes. The StormHood is helmet-compatible and adjusts to move with the head.

What is the fit like?

It has a relaxed fit and a shorter freeride cut, leaving room for layers without excess bulk. It is cut for movement rather than a long, parka-style hem.

What is included with the jacket?

The jacket itself, with the integrated powder skirt, pit zippers, hand pockets and RECCO reflector built in.

Can it be machine washed?

Yes, it is machine washable. Use a technical wash and follow Arc'teryx's care guidance to keep the GORE-TEX membrane and water repellency working.
