Is this compact enough to be used as an underlayer when the weather gets really bad? say under a theta ar for water resistance, or too large for that?

The Arc'teryx Kappa SV might be a bit thick under a Theta AR. I've had my Kappa in pretty heavy snowstorms, and the combo of a good DWR, tight weave fabric, and Windstopper with sealed seams have kept me totally dry.
