so I'm 6'4" and 170 lbs. I have trouble finding jackets that are long enough, AND are slim cut enough that I'm not swimming inside them. I'm debating between the Alpha LT and the Theta AR. Any input? thanks!

Both are a great choice! I have the same issue. I looked at both of those jackets but ended up with the Outdoor Research Mentor jacket. I had to size up to an XL for arm length, which was the case with every jacket I could find, but it works out okay for the layering factor.Hope that helps.I would go with the Theta AR. At 6'2/180, the large has ample spacing. But as you mentioned for sizing, look into the Norrona Narvik C/S Jacket. They are nearly identical. I have a large Alpha LT and the fit is the best I've seen in any shell. It doesn't have that "bell" shape like on most larges and it is a dialed fit but still has room for layering. The length I found to be excellent. 6' 4'" 180 lbs.
