Arcteryx Theta SV

Arc'teryx Theta SV Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx Theta SV Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 2, 2009

Well, I finally settled the Theta SV for a new shell. I'm 6'5" and weigh about 260 w/ an athletic cut. The XXL fits me quite well except for the midsection which was tad baggy. The waist adjustment fixed this nicely however. Pockets are intuitive and usefull and adjustment cords work quite well. Length is great, fit and finnish seem to be outstanding. I like the option to store the hood in the collar if I want, but I mostly leave it out since this leaves the collar less stiff and more comfortable. The jacket is very light but so far has been very durable. This is very important for me since I'm kinda clumsy and tend to fall while skiing or walk into things while hiking. Wind and waterproofing is excellent, a definite requirement in Alaska where I'll stack the crappyness of our weather up against that of any other state in the union. If I had one minor complaint it would be the noise. The material crinkles quite a bit, especially when cold. This is a pretty hard-core technical shell however, and I'll deal with noise if it comes with this level of protection any day of the week. Overall this is a top notch piece of gear I'm looking forward to using for a long time.

Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Men's

February 2, 2009

I'm trying to decide between this jacket and a Theta SV for GP backpacking, C/C and downhill skiing, paddling, climbing, that kind of thing. The Stingray fits me a little better but I don't know anything about Gore-Tex soft shell. Is it durable and waterproof enough for someone who's kinda hard on gear. Is the Pro Shell on the Theta SV any better or is it too fine a hair to split?

Arc'teryx Stingray Jacket - Men's

January 2, 2009

Just want to confirm something. The technical info on this jacket on this site lists it was water resistant, not water proof. It's a gore tex material after all, so I assumed it was a waterproof jacket like Arcteryx lists on their web site. However, since there is a world of difference between water resistant and waterproof, I though I'd ask what the real story is.
