From Backcountry.com:
"Gore-Tex Pro fabric makes the Arc'teryx Men's Sidewinder SV Jacket tough as nails and provides it with the ability to take on nasty backcountry storms. Underarm zips help you stay cool as you skin in the pre-dawn darkness toward your couloir of choice. The Sidewinder SV Jacket's powder skirt and hook-and-loop cuffs keep out the snow when you drop in for some fresh pow turns. When the weather turns ugly, just pull up the helmet-compatible hood and close the offset WaterTight front zipper to seal yourself into this Arc'teryx jacket as you skin back to the trailhead."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"This season, don't just survive big mountain weather, charge right through it with the Arc'teryx Men's Sidewinder SV Jacket. The 480N MG GORE-TEX 3-layer Pro fabric features a revolutionary Micro Grid woven backer that is very durable, breathable, and allows for reduced seam allowances and narrower taped seams. This makes the jacket lighter and more supple. Laminated construction techniques provide the clean, stylish finish that rightfully gives the jacket its signature Arc'teryx look. After all, Arc'teryx introduced this innovative construction technique to the outdoor industry in 1998, thereby opening the door to a new era of technical outerwear that cuts weight, improves garment strength, and reduces bulk. Additional performance features include two-way pit zips for ventilation, a helmet compatible Drop Hood with stealth brim adjuster, laminated powder skirt to seal out spindrift, and a Recco avalanche reflector. The Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket for men offers a roomy, articulated fit for maximum freedom of motion. It gets its name from the Sidewinder front zipper that tracks to the side of the chin for optimal comfort."

"This is simply the best hard shell money can buy - it is fantastic! I brought the blue version (which is by far the best) last year and I have worn it nearly every rainy day we've had!

It is only a hardshell, which I think is good as it allows you to layer up more easily."

"This jacket is hands down the finest snowboard/ski jacket on the market. Made with the highest quality Gore-Tex XCR, Arc'teryx thought of everything when they designed this jacket. Every external zipper, even the pit zips, are waterproof YKK zippers that don't leak even without any storm flaps."

"GNARLY! Totally Tubular! K-RaD k00L! Arc'Teryx makes another innovative jacket for those crazy boarders and breaks away from their usual slim fitting garments that are more for climbers than boarders. Well, I have to say, I own the Alpha SV and this jacket offers a more loose relaxed fit."
