Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx took their most-popular hardshell jacket, the Men's Theta AR, and made it even lighter and more breathable with Gore-Tex Pro material and ultra-thin seam tape. As the longest and most fully-featured jacket in the Arc'teryx line, the Theta AR Jacket takes on any situation from backpacking to skiing to mountaineering. Two high hand pockets allow access when wearing a climbing harness, and the helmet-compatible hood lets you wear your brain bucket. The Theta AR Jacket's WaterTight pitzips help you stay cool as you break trail for the final 2000 feet to the summit and seal tight for a ski descent in fluffy powder.

Bottom Line: Arc'teryx just made their most-popular jacket even better. Check the improved Theta AR Jacket.

i'm 6'1" and 175lbs, should i order a large or a medium?

will, i'm 6'3", 185lbs, and i wear a Large, that way you can layer a 200 weight fleece underneath, the only issue is sleeve length, i have long arms, so the Large runs a little short,cause the XL is way too big, but with longer glooves, not really an issue

What's the difference between the AR and the SV?

By: edjsul1637809 (1)

Flag

AR = All around
SV = Severe

Across the Arc'teryx line the difference in this insignation is the weight of the face fabric. Any SV piece will use 480N, over the entire jacket. Where AR pieces will have a combination of 480N in high abration areas and 380N over the rest.

480N is highly durable.
380N saves weight.

I have to say, this jacket rocks!!! I got this for a present on November and wore it everyday. I went skiing with it 4 times already. I could not be any happier. This is the Pro Shell version. The construction is excellent. The material is boomer like but not heavy at all. The zippers are excellent. The micro tape seams are great. The pockets work well. This is the 3rd gore-tex jacket I own and the pro shell is the best. It is very breathable, comfortable, and packable. The hood is big enough for a helmet. Also, the hood turns when you turn! This jacket is easy to use and very versatile. I would buy this item again!
