Hello, I am seriously considering buying this jacket. I am wondering however, how waterproof it is. Would a hardshell be better? Even thought the Arc'teryx ones are so much more expensive... Thank you!

The Venta SV is considered to be very water resistant, which is to say, it won't keep you totally dry in a downpour or really wet, sloppy snow (might get slight leaks in seams). But for cold snow or light drizzle, you'll stay dry. The Venta SV has Windstopper "finish taped seams" that will keep most of the moisture out, but breathe better than a GoreTex hardshell.
