Stihl offer a 500i with the Arctic 3/4 wrap?

There's one with it at my local shop.

Heated 3/4 wrap in Cali? That's kinda unusual.

Not really. @davidwyby has a heated ported 2186 in Southern California

Missed the Arctic part in that query. Probably not. Never know though. Other day a neighbor kid was wearing a fleece baclava and it was 55 degrees.

Cold is relative. Anything under 80 degrees is sweater weather for @davidwyby

Stihl does not allow US dealers to sell any arctic models. In Canada they offer the 261 arctic in 1/2 wrap only. They offer the 362, 462, and 661 arctic in 1/2 wrap and 3/4 wrap but no 500I arctic saws (currently). They do offer the 500i in an arctic version in Europe but I cannot speak to if they offer it in a 3/4 wrap version.

Well that’s lame. Thanks for the info
