Arc’teryx Sabre SV Jacket: test by The Pill

The ultimate shell designed for the most extreme outings

Those who enjoy freeriding know they need gear that can withstand challenging outings and even extreme weather conditions, and Arc’teryx, in designing the Sabre SV Jacket, took just that into account: a shell suitable for the toughest terrain and harshest conditions. Its ultimate water resistance is provided by the Gore-Tex Pro 2.0 durability champion fabric with Most Rugged technology and durable 100% recycled N100D fabric, which combine to offer excellent wind and weather protection. This jacket is also highly breathable and abrasion resistant. The shell length is designed to offer maximum coverage, especially on backcountry outings, while the StormHood is helmet-compatible and adjusts to offer protection and maintain peripheral vision. The RECCO device built into the jacket allows you to spend as much time as possible in remote and adventurous places. A special mention then goes to the absolute coolness of this shell, capable of sustaining you in the most thrusting adventures and at the same time accompanying you in the after activity. Sabre is undoubtedly one of the most complete ski and snowboard jackets around for serious on-piste and backcountry use.
