Between the Stingray and the Theta AR, which would be best for both backcountry touring (lots of uphill) and inbounds skiing? Are there other comparable jackets out there (e.g. something by Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, or Patagucci?). I currently own the Stoic Welder Hi but that jacket seems way too hot for backcountry applications.

Get the Theta AR or Theta SV jacket. They will suits your needs the best. They both use gore tex pro shell. The SV uses a heavier denier fabric throughout the jacket, where as the AR mixes a heavier on high wear areas and a lighter denier on the other parts. The hood configurations are slightly different as well. If your mid layer have hoods than go with the SV. The stingray is more of a resort type jacket- with a light fleece backing. I can only speak of arcteryx jackets since that is all that I use these days. I am sure there are great products from other manufacturers, but I have rarely been dissapointed by arcteryx and they have the best warranty in the biz.....
