How does this jacket compare to the Arcteryx Theta AR? I know this jacket has a powder skirt and removable hood and more interior pockets and the Theta does not, but has anyone owned or tried both of them and have any personal experience so I can get a better feel for them?

When considering these two jacket, i would take into consideration your planned use. This jacket will be better for skiing with is powder skirt, so if you are going to solely use this jacket for skiing, i would get this one. The Theta AR isnt a bad skiing jacket, but powder gets in way easier, even if you tighten the bottom hem. But if you are looking for a solid all around jacket, from skiing to hiking, etc, i would get the Theta AR.
