Arc'Teryx Ski Jackets WORTH IT? | Sabre and Rush Comparison and Review 

Good in-depth review, I might have missed the pit zips mention but always good to include

Great review, quick and to the point. Not sure if it exists on the jacket, but suprised they don't have a pass holder on the bottom waist of the sabre jacket considering how many resorts now use RFID cards for the lifts.

Note that 2024 model of Rush has an additional chest pocket and no snow skirt. That makes more versatile than the 2023 model.

Found a lot of Arc'teryx stuff for way cheap on shop. Picked up the sabre for a hundred bucks.

What are you wearing for a mid layer? I’m 6’1 185-190lbs and I thought the rush and sabre were huge in Large while wearing a T-shirt with a normal fleece when I tried them on.

Thanks, this was a great comparison. I like how you had them side-by-side when wearing them, and pointing out the key differences. Is the flannel liner extend all the way down the sleeves on the Sabre? Sounds like the Sabre has a bit trimmer fit on the waist, but maybe not enough to make much of a difference, unless I guess you had a puffy on. Finally are they approximately the same length? I could not tell in the video. Again, thanks for a very informative, concise video!

I just bought the same colorway rush jacket on the re-gear arc'teryx site for hundreds in savings...lets hope it's not too scratched up 😂

thats not really a fleece, as a fleece would be a material with a long pile length fabric it's just a lining for the jacket. It also has nothing to do with how warm the jacket is, as the protection, and breathability comes down to the outer shell and the Gore-Tex is in the middle of the 3 layers. The gore tex membrane is what gives the jackets the breathability, and waterproofing/protection

Could you please do a review on the Arc'teryx bib pants you have? And will you be doing a review on the Beta SV jacket? Thanks heaps and love your work man!

Hello, just a question. I have Beta Ar jacket and have it in size M. On the Arcteryx website the sizing chart is the same for Beta AR and Rush. I just want you to confirm, if i use medium in Beta Ar, then i also should pick Medium for Rush Jacket? I am 186 cm and 84 kg, and medium Beta Ar fit very good. Large was way to big for me.

Where can I find the Arcteryx jackets and also the Lofoten for 20/30% off ?? (I was just about to ask how these two jackets compare to the Beta AR and the Lofoten, and then you explained everything, Great video man)

Hi! Do you recommend a rush jacket for 490€ or the Lofoten anorak for 450€ I want a versatile option to ski and to go to city

Is it the same length on the Sabre and rush?

For anyone playing in the BC i think pit zips are one of the most important features of a jacket. Everyone I know slides their arms through those slots to hold on to their poles during ascent. Best feature ever invented for touring/hiking back country imo. Not sure why you would ignore this feature but it looks like the rush has no pit zips which for me = deal breaker. Looks like the Sabre does have pit zips so its an option but I'm not a fan of the separate hood style I like the seamless hood for fit and looks. I snagged the Alpha SV two seasons ago and been loving it.

Where do you find them 20% off? I can't find anything arcteryx-related discounted and I am from Canada as well. Tried Sporting life and Mec with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, have you got any full body pictures in the Rush? I'm 185cm 80kg so long and thin, tossing up L vs XL for a new ski jacket. Hate when jackets run short but also don't want something crazy baggy. Thanks! good video.

one thing is the saber is a bit longer in the back compared to the rush

Do you think you could review the new Sabre SV? I just bought it, and it retails for $900. Im going to be skiing in whistler next year, so I pulled the trigger on the SV because apparently it’s much more protected from the elements then the standard Sabre.

hi there, I am 187 cm and 88 kg, just ordered L size. Broad shoulders. Did I made mistake with sizing and should go up to XL instead ?

This has nothing to do with Arcteryx but could you recomend a resort ski jacket that's under $500 (max ~$400 with 20/30% discount applied). I'm really just looking for a jacket that I'm gonna be wearing while learning and progressing on skis. The winter is pretty warm where I am, it almost never gets less than 25/30 F (-5/0 Celsius). And when it does I'm usually not going cause of bad visibility. Also I don't even really need a mid layer since i'd be sweating in these temperatures. Currently found a The North Face Descendit Men's jacket but its only $170 (45% off tho) and I don't think a good ski jacket would cost this low even with a 45% OFF. And I'm dissapointed so many people say TNF is garbage now (unless their expensive summit series). Also it's insulated, but I got told to look for something without insulation, and get a mid layer instead. You think getting an insulated jacket but without mid layer is fine for those temperatures?

Great review. Curious as to how you feel the fit of the Rush compares to the Lofoten? I’ve had a Rush XXL for several years but need an XL now. Was also considering the Lofoten and a Stio shells. Thanks

How does the rush compare to the alpha sv? I know rush is geared towards skiing and alpha is geared to mountaineering.

Thanks for this!!!

Could you wear an XL? Or wayyy too big?

Bro can you help me choose a jacket? I want to buy a hard shell jacket for a mix of everyday use while on rainy / snowy or colder climates but also use it for snowboarding so to have some breathability to it as well. What would you recommend? Any of these Arc’teryx jackets or the Noronna T?

im 170cm and 68 kg and want a baggy fit what size should I get

900 for a raincoat is wild

what size are you wearing?

This review is now old. Rush has no skirt. Fit has changed. Large is notnathletic cut and has very long sleeves. Am 6'2" and fit. With underlayer on, jacket was ok at shoulders, sleeves ended at fingers and waist was 3 inches wider than my insulated jacket. So not good fit if you are not overweight.

i just curious about how annoying the sabre snow skirt is ? The other choice is Beta lt, and the sabre AR is on sale now. These two price are only more USD$30 than the other. Hard to choose...

Looks like a rip off

I just got the Rush for £350 same colour hoping to use it as a everyday jacket
