I have the Theta AR shell and am looking for another Arc'teryx jacket to wear underneath.
What would you recommend? Is the Arc'teryx Venta AR suitable for this use? Thanks.

Depending on what you are doing, I would throw out something along the lines of a Patagonia Down Sweater or their Nano Puff jacket, or one of the Montbell U.L. Thermawrap jackets. If this is for multiple day backcountry trips then it probably makes sense to use a softshell underneath which has more utility. If you are looking for layering for a day of skiing, I've been very happy with the warmth that the down sweater provides in a lightweight, relatively bulk-free package. Just another option.... The Atom Jacket that Brandon recommended would be the Arcteryx equivalent.

Thanks for the recommendations. The Hercules looks like a definite option. As for other possibilities, does Cloudveil and/or Mountain Hardware make a jacket simlar in style/weight/functionality to Hercules that you'd recommend? Many thanks.

For layering under the Arc'teryx Theta AR, my first choices would be the Hercules jacket or the Atom LT Jacket, they both layer better than a Venta AR , but still work well as stand-alone jackets for mild weather (Hercules blocks about 50% of wind and has good water beading, Atom is basically windproof and really compressible)Other good options- Tau Jacket or pullover.
