What is the difference between the Arcteryx Theta and Beta Jackets? They seem virtually identical other than a chest pocket.

Actually, you've got it completely backwards. The Beta line is cut tighter, which obviously means there is less room for layering versus the Theta. The Beta is geared for technical backcountry use like climbing, whereas the Theta is more for light hiking and general wear.Also keep in mind that the SV version is meant for more heinous weather and gives a little more room for a thicker layer if that interests you.
