Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Sentinel AR Jacket

I love the jacket itself, and it's the third Arc'teryx ski jacket I've purchased. However, the colour is completely different than how it looks online. I wanted a navy jacket. They didn't carry the "Labyrinth" colour in store, but it looks navy so I ordered it online. However, once it arrived, I discovered the actual colour is a deep teal green and doesn't go at all with my ski pants. So PSA - "Labyrinth" is green, not navy. It'd be great if Arc'teryx started using descriptive colour names, rather than unrelated words that don't provide any information as to what the colour is. Or carried the full colour options in store.

I despair with technical gear makers and the lack of options in petite sizing. Women under 5'3" do engage in technical sports, but are doomed to shop in kids sections or look like a kid wearing their parents clothes. I am 5'1" (w/ a regular, 1-1/2" ape index, ie not short arms) and the arms of the Sentinel fall a full 1" beyond my fingertips. There is no way to pull on gloves and manage all that extra sleeve length. And rather than lying smoothly on my chest, the front of the jacket pooches out awkwardly by 3-4" beneath my bust line. If you are short and in anyway athletically built - try before you buy. (And please note Arcteryx, women can be "petite" *and* athletic).

Had to return. The arms and body length are too long for me. If it was just the body length I would have kept the Jacket. I consistently wear a medium in all Arcteryx tops and jackets and have never had this issue before. The sleeves went a 1/2 inch past the tip of my longest finger.

This jacket seems to fit a lot smaller than usual Arcteryx shells. I have an athletic build, with bigger shoulders and back than average. However, I and usually take a Small in jackets such as the Beta and the Atom. The torso fit perfectly, with loads of room for layers, but unfortunately the upper end of the jacket was supper tight in the shoulders, back and traps and even the neck. Very disappointed because with the level of tightness in the small I know that the next size up probably won't work for me either. It's unfortunate they don't stock more jackets like the Cassiar (ski jacket with stetch) for ladies. I really wanted to love this jacket because the longer length and durability of this shell would have been so wonderful. Maybe I will have better luck with mens sizing. For reference I am 125lbs, 5'8 with very little bodyfat. The small fits more like an extra small in the upper body.

Stop making your sleeves so long... women's arms arn't super long!!!! :(

There is no outside chest pocket. My most used pocket, Wich I didn't get this jacket. Also fits small and short, not super flattering.
