Sorry in advance for the multiple questions. With my hands by my side, where should the bottom of the jacket hit me? I have found that I tend to find the Arc'teryx stuff feels a bit short for me (Not sure if it really is, or if my understanding of fit is wrong for active gear). I am 5'10.5" and bought a medium. If it helps, I have the Theta AR Jacket in Medium because I found the length to be the best of the other Arc'teryx jackets I tried on.
Also, do you think this would be a good soft shell layer for climbing Mt. Rainier? What other soft shell jackets should I consider?

It sounds like the medium is the right size for you. None of the soft shell jackets will be as long as your Theta AR (the longest of the Arc'teryx shells) because you want the shell to cover any under layers. The Venta MX was designed for climbing in cold weather, Alaska specifically, so it should work beautifully on Rainier.
