My current want is the Arcteryx Stinger - High Collar, Stowable hood, hip length ( CRAP they don't have mirabell anymore! )
Another interesting Arcteryx jacket is the Fireball - Women-specific design; wind resistant ( WINDSTOPPER! SWEET! ), lightly insulated softshell jacket. No hood though. Hey Brian, would this be good on the lifts?
probably not mid winter but early - too late spring it would be. The insulation is thin lining laminated to the windstopper. it offers more protection than a softshell and more breathability than a hardshell.
The Stinger is an offshoot of a jacket we worked with the CMH guides on for them.
