Has anyone tried skiing in the AR? I didn't see that it had a snow skirt. Also it sounds like this fits on the larg size, I'm 5'7 around 150 on the trim side....was thinking a small would work. Thanks for the beta.

I am just shy of 5'7 and 160 lbs, and I tried both the small and medium Theta AR's. I purchased the small. Able to put mid-layers in (Hercules, atom, gamma sv) without looking too bulky. The medium was a bit too roomy, especially without layers which is how I'd like to use this all round shell. Hope that helps.

I've put in about 60 days on a Arc'teryx Theta AR and it works well as a ski jacket, as the above answer indicated. I think a small would work perfectly for you, as this jacket is cut to layer underneath, no need to up-size.

The Theta AR doesn't have a powder skirt, but it does have the drawcord at the waist which could somewhat serve the purpose of a powderskirt. The Theta AR might lack some ski jacket-specific features, but it would be fine as a ski jacket and it will be more versatile for activities other than skiing. I'm not sure how to guide you on the sizing - remember that this is just a shell so you will need to buy it big enough to layer underneath for skiing. Use the sizing charts to guide you - this shell is designed to allow room for some layering as long as you are within the recommended range for a given size. For reference, I'm 5'9" and 168 pounds and a medium fits me well with plenty of room for a fleece underneath.
