The men's Sphene is the lightest shell jacket in the Arc'teryx Whiteline collection and is specifically designed for backcountry ski tours through regions like the Coastal Mountains of British Columbia. It utilizes 3-layers of taped-seam N40p-X GORE-TEX® Pro fabrics to provide wearers with a breathable, ultra-light shell that is extremely waterproof and 100% windproof. Arc'teryx designed the Sphene in an ergonomic pattern e3D fit, which provides enhanced maneuverability along with targeted articulation in areas you move most when hiking and shoveling through deep backcountry snow.
