Arc'teryx Women's Sentinel Jacket

Standing in watch over the winter landscape your gaze focuses on the weathered ridge line as you try to get a read on the opening of 'Super Bowl'. As you wait for the Patrol to flip the open sign, the Arc'teryx Women's Sentinel Jacket that you chose is the perfect waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX Soft Shell for the snow-snifting powder day.

With supple mobility, this windproof jacket's articulated patterning and relaxed fit allow for a casual arm-pit rest on your pole handles in an air filled with crystal light. You've pulled down the large cuffs that fit over your gloves, cinched down the low bulk laminated die-cut Velcro cuff adjusters, snugged the adjustable hem drawcord, and locked down the powder skirt with gripper elastic and snap closure. Diving into the internal mesh pocket and two high-volume hand pockets for energy food and some liquid, you're ready to bolt at the first sign of the Patrol. Then you're off like a Chineese downhill, maneuvering for fist tracks position in the Arc'teryx Women's Sentinel Jacket you always lead the pack.

Soft, soft, soft
I bought this shell to complement my Atom SV Hoody I got as a gift. I was considering either Sentinel or Alpha SV and I am so glad I picked Sentinel. I am 5'3/122 and small fits just perfect, and matches perfectly size small Atom, so that the pair makes a perfect set for a colder or moist conditions that would be too much for just Atom itself. The Sentinel's Goretex is really soft - it may not be as durable as Alpha SV, but the softness is so great that I can forgo the greater durability of the Pro Shell in Alpha SV. Another plus of the soft shell is that it isn't "loud" as the Pro Shell jackets are. Two features of the jacket that make it a great design, IMHO, are the hood and the powder skirt. The hood coverage is great, leaving just your eyes and nose exposed to the outside world. It works great with Atom's hood and the helmet. The powder skirt is also great in that it is placed right where it should be, so it doesn't ride up. Even though I ski only groomed, it will come handy when I'm snow tubing with my kids. The wide cuffs are also great as the fit over my Black Diamond Legend gloves. This is really a perfect skier shell. And unless you are skiing in the most extreme conditions you will most likely be fine with the durability of the soft shell of this jacket. Way to go Arc'teryx!
