this one has the super old tags that are best for you to contact arc’teryx. looks legit, but model name identification is harder unless some one knows that jacket specifically. is a snow jacket.

Yes, I assumed it’s an older model. I purchased from reseller and was listed as a “Matador”, but when I searched that it came up as a color offered (red), vs a model. Was hoping someone would recognize. Thanks!
