Arc'teryx Mens Sabre Jacket
The Arc'teryx Sabre men's winter sports jacket was designed with specific snowsports features to deliver optimal freedom of motion, breathability and protection. This shell is made of waterproof, windproof and breathable Gore-TexDM, so you can stay comfortable and dry during your descents. Multiple pockets allow you to bring all your essentials with you on the slopes. And when you break a sweat you can unzip the underarm ventilation to keep you comfortable. Layering is the key of keeping you dry, warm and using your energy efficiently. Put into the right systems, a good sequence of layers moves moisture away from your skin, conserves or dissipates heat and provides you with weather protection. Here they are. The first layer, worn next-to-skin will provide warmth and quickly move moisture away from your skin. Then, the second layer, is the insulation and fleece, that provides warmth while also dissipating heat during periods of high output. And finally, the third layer, the shell, which is the most weather-protective layer, worn on the outside of all other layers.

Arcteryx Sabre Jacket Black

I've had the jacket for a couple ski trips (one out East and another in the Rockies). The jacket held up great in a variety of weather (sunny, snowing, windy) and I never felt too hot or too cold even with lighter layering. The layer of flannel in the jacket contributes a surprising amount for warmth. Jacket obviously looks great. For sizing I ended up buying both a medium and large and ended up going with the large after trying both on. I'm 5'11" 190 lbs and have a fairly large chest (which was the issue with the medium). Feel like the large fits great. Not too baggy or long.

I went into the Arcteryx store to buy a Sabre jacket in Blue Tetra. I've worn Arcteryx shells for over 20 years, always a size small. This is the first jacket I have tried on that doesn't fit. It's way too small in hips, and comically balloon like around shoulders. You can see this in the pictures on the models, when the coat is done up it's pulled up above their hips. I had to wear it this way too. I thought maybe I had a few too many summer beers, so when I got home I tried on my other Arcteryx jackets, all size small, and they all fit fine, including last years Sabre. Try it on before you buy. Sadly I won't be getting one.

I'm 6'2" and 180lbs with an average build. I ordered a Large jacket and bibs. When they first arrived I was wondering if I should exchange it for a Medium. The fit is much larger than my large Theta AR was. I can comfortably wear a 750 fill down coat underneath and it looks and fits great. I could not fit the same down coat under the Theta. So far I've worn them about half a dozen times snowmobiling. I also intend to wear them snowboarding as well as in the fall and spring for cool rainy days fishing. I'll just change out the insulating layer as needed. The jacket will eventually become my every day fall/winter jacket.

If I was just going to wear a fleece, hoody or less I'd probably want a Medium. A lot of my winter activities are not very active so I wanted something big enough for thick insulating layers underneath. The cut/fit is excellent. There is no binding of fabric anywhere that I've noticed. The snow skirt so far has been unnecessary but has never been an issue or in the way. I think it'll be an asset in the deeper snow and colder days on the board or sled. The hood is taking a bit of getting used to. I really prefer the drop hood for looks and comfort but it was noticeably colder in the wind.

A well balanced design for both resort and backcountry skiing. Slim enough to wear with a a single base layer on warm days and also enough space for multiple insulated layers on very cold days. Love the length and cut of the sleeves that are slightly longer over the top of your hand. Vents are well placed. Climbing skins pockets are perfectly sized and positioned. Only have 10ish days of wear so far, but seems like the exterior fabric will be very durable.Only feedback for design improvement are:-The neck becomes tight when the front zipper is fully closed and hood is down while wearing a helmet.-Add even stronger fabric on the shoulders for when you're carrying skis on your shoulder (like across a parking lot) and for extended backpack use.
I bought this at the start of the ski season. Got the nice bright orange colour.I've always been a size small with Arc'teryx jackets.I'm absolutely swimming in the size small! I get ski jackets should have room, but this was ridiculous.I ended up getting the size XS. The sleeve length is perfect. The body is slim, but good. The waist is tight. Still works when skiing, but have to "lift up" the jacket before getting on the chair, or before charging the hill. Otherwise will be tight and restrictive.I'm not sure why every year they feel the need to keep updating sizing. They had it right years ago.I'm also not sold on the inside pockets not being zippered. Falling, being upside down, etc is all a part of skiing. I would feel much more confident with a zipper ... MoreI bought this at the start of the ski season.

The jacket seems to be quite durable and not as crinkly as the Gore-Tex Pro versions.The hood is great, the length spot on and the collar high and protective. However, one major flaw is that it has barely any fleece inside the collar. This, together with the fact that the collar is very stiff, makes it very uncomfortable. Most other hardshells (or, in Arc'teryx, the Atom LT) have a lot of fleece inside the collar to make it comfy.The second flaw is the location of the pockets. Actually the two main outside pockets are in a very good position - they are hand pockets but don't interfere with the straps of avy packs. However, the inside pockets are exactly in the same position! This means that all your belongings are in the same part of the jacket, so in really it ... MoreThe jacket seems to be quite durable and not as crinkly as the Gore-Tex Pro versions.The hood is great, the length spot on and the collar high and protective.

However, the inside pockets are exactly in the same position! This means that all your belongings are in the same part of the jacket, so in really it is as if the jacket only had two pockets (apart from the lift pass pocket). This jacket should have chest pockets and even hand pockets, because it is so long that putting them low enough would help avoiding the straps of a rucksack. Also this is supposed to be used inbounds and we are not always carrying the backpack with us, so the more pockets, the better! In addition to this, the lift pass pocket should be in the lower arm to make it easier to reach the RFID reader if needed.Then a nice feature would be to have hand gaiters, but I have to admit that for people like me who ski when conditions are warmer, I rather not have them in March/April.I would also like the skirt to be compatible with other brands, not only with Arc'teryx in case I want to attach it to other pants (although I would not do it often anyway, so not a deal breaker).So in summary: good durability and protection, but the overlap of the pockets is a major design flaw and the collar is protective but highly uncomfortable.I won't comment on the fit because I bought the previous version with a more relaxed fit.
I love this jacket. It is a little heavier than the beta or rush, but has a softer flannel like laminated lining. Feels more substantial than the lighter, more technical jackets. Less crinkly when moving.Wish this model still had the chest vertical zipper pocket. Sabre pants were equally awesome but without the flannel lining.I initially bought a medium which fits me, but when I threw on a few layers of thermals and a down puffy, the medium was too small. Updated to a large which is a a little big without layering, but works better for skiing IMHO. 6’1” 86kg.Spent two days getting blasted by snow making equipment, and the sleet like stuff coated my goggles and jacket and just dusted off. Stayed warm and dry.
So, I tried to give this feedback direct to Arcterix, but they fobbed me off and said leave a review on the website, so here it is. To set the scene, I've skied for over 30 years, at about 30 different ski fields in over a dozen different countries, and I average about 3 weeks a year (or so) so I have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to ski gear.Now, I like Arcterix - I like the fact they have a decent selection of shells (both jackets and pants); the quality is very good, the colours are great and I love that they use GoreTex (and GoreTex Pro) but their jackets (particularly) lack features. My first gripe is that the hood is not detachable. If you have a look at all the skiers, on any particular day, at any skifield in the World, nobody ... MoreSo, I tried to give this feedback direct to Arcterix, but they fobbed me off and said leave a review on the website, so here it is.

My first gripe is that the hood is not detachable. If you have a look at all the skiers, on any particular day, at any skifield in the World, nobody wears the hood - except if its snowing heavily, or raining. If it's raining, most people leave, and of those that keep skiing, most do wear the hood as it keeps rain from soaking through the vents in your helmet. But then, how often do you ski in the rain? If it's snowing heavily, my estimate is about 15% of people wear the hood - which means 85% (approx) don't wear it. And why would you? Snow doesn't soak through the vents in your helmet (like it does if it's raining). You don't get cold because you have a helmet on, and the hood restricts your peripheral vision. And when you turn you head left or right, the hood doesn't move with you so you can't see to your left (or right). And if you simply don't wear it (like 85% of skiers) it flaps around in the wind, and fills up with snow. For God's sake, make it detachable. I bought a new jacket this year, a Marmot jacket - with a detachable hood. It's brilliant. The hood re-attaches is about 30 seconds if you need it, and if you don't - no hood filling up with snow, or flapping around. Just fold it up and stick it in your side pocket in case you need it. Next, the pocket Arcterix puts on the upper arm, to store your pass. Really, on the upper arm?? I think every single manufacturer in the World puts it on your forearm (except Arcterix), so that to scan your pass on a higher or lower (than usual) pass scanner, you simply raise (or lower) your wrist. Very easy. However if your pass is in a pocket on your shoulder, because you own an Arcterix jacket, and the scanner is higher than your shoulder, you have to try to jump up and down (wearing your skis, or your board) to get high enough for the scanner to read your pass. Same problem is there's a lot of snow, so the scanner is lower than usual - ever tried bending down to get your shoulder low enough to scan your pass when you're wearing skis (or boards) and the scanner is at waist height? Not easy. Pleeeeeeaaase put the pass pocket on the forearm. It's just so much easier. On the subject of pockets, the inside chest pocket is not big enough to store most phones, especially if they have a case. Why do I want to take my phone out of its case everyday so it fits in my ski jacket, then put the case back on the phone when I take my jacket off? Wouldn't it be simpler to make the pocket just a little larger? And put a little insulation on the front side of the jacket, between the phone pocket and the shell, to make the phone battery last a little longer in the cold. And put two, inside chest pockets on your jackets - I need somewhere to put my wallet AS WELL as my phone. Oh, and I need two side pockets to put 'stuff' in, like a handkerchief (because my nose runs in the cold) and a chocolate bar to munch on when I'm hungry, and to put my car/accommodation keys in. It's all pretty simple stuff, if you think about it. My new Marmot jacket has all this stuff. And it's a shell - why can't you do this as well, Arcterix? I'd love one of your shells, and your pants, but until they're more 'user friendly' I'm going to keep wearing my new Marmot jacket. Yes, the colour is a bit boring, but the features are brilliant. And I don't have to jump up and down to scan my pass.
Awesome shell for skiing. Being a shell with a fair amount of features, it's super versatile. Would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality jacket that should last a long time.I am 5'10" and about 160 lbs and 30" waist so, more of an "athletic" build. I generally wear a medium or large, and initially purchased a medium of this jacket. It fit well in length, but was quite baggy in the belly and arms. I ultimately exchanged for a small which fit perfectly -- even with a mid-layer puffer.With the Small jacket, a mid-layer puffer, a T shirt, and base layer I am warm even on the coldest days. That said, if needed to add a fleece, I would be able to do so comfortably.Recommendation: size down for sure. It will look and feel better, and you won't lose ... MoreAwesome shell for skiing.

I’ve had this jacket ( 2021 Sabre AR not revised version ) for 2 years in size L in the sense colour (pink salmon colour) and I have to say, I do really like this jacket, but it’s not perfect ! I’ll go through the Pros and Cons and my opinions of the Jacket. For reference I am 5’ 11” 200lbs more athletic build ( broad shoulders, bigger than average chest and arms) 33-34” pant waist.Pros- The jacket is solid, extremely durable, and really warm. I have no worries about damaging the jacket with ripping through trees, bushwhacking while touring, or tomahawking down the hill. The Goretex is less noisy and crunchy than the Alpha and Beta AR LT jackets, but still quite thick! Having the powder skirt is a bonus but I really wish I had the matching pants or bibs so I could ... MoreI’ve had this jacket ( 2021 Sabre AR not revised version ) for 2 years in size L in the sense colour (pink salmon colour) and I have to say, I do really like this jacket, but it’s not perfect !

The Goretex is less noisy and crunchy than the Alpha and Beta AR LT jackets, but still quite thick! Having the powder skirt is a bonus but I really wish I had the matching pants or bibs so I could clip them together ! I like the beak on the hood does a great job of keep snow off the face while touring or while it’s dumping, lots of pull strings on the hood too to customize fit. The Goretex waterproof is perfect for what you need for resort or back country days !Cons - Size, as you can see in the comments a lot of people are concerned about the fit and sizing of the Sabre, they aren’t wrong. The jacket on me is a little tight for me throughout the trunk and on the waist, the arms have enough room but the sleeves are way too long by about 3”, lots of room in the shoulders, and I think the hood is a little too tight with a helmet, it’s snug when not cinched up which is ok when touring, but when it’s up on the way down or all day at the resort it’s a bit restrictive and tight when you’re trying to look around and turn your head, I wear a M Oakley Mod1 helmet that’s pretty low profile also. The jacket isn’t as packable as most jackets, like I said it is durable and thick which is great but if you’re looking for a packable jacket to toss in your bag touring this isn’t it, I usually have to hang it through my backpack or I just keep it on and open up the vents. I wish the vents had some mesh or something because they’re huge and definitely let in a ton of snow on deep days.To wrap it up, amazing jacket, try it on in store before purchasing if you can, I think Arcteryx should make a Lt and an AR it would be nice to see this jacket with a lighter more packable jacket that’s not as thick. Hopefully they revise the sizing issue and tweak the hood! If they did that this jacket would be the one !
