Theta AR or Alpha SV? I want a atletic jacket, but not to short. Does the theta fit as well as the Alpha? How much longer is the Theta compare to the Alpha? Kirk.

Elejaces switched the jackets. The Theta AR is more athletically cut than the Alpha SV. The Alpha has a longer collar. The Theta has a longer tail. Easy mistake.

The Alpha is definetly cut more "athletically" than the Theta, but they are definetely not snug, there is room to layer. The Theta has a collared neck, the alpha does not, so it depends on your preference. Finally, the Alpha is designed to be used with a harness, so the pocket placement is a bit different and it also covers your butt a bit more. I have a slight preference for the Alpha. I'd say the Alpha is about 1/2 to 1 inch longer on the back. I hope this helps.
