Besides the length, what's the difference between the alpha sv and the theta sv? Also, I am 6'0" 210lb and would like to wear a thick fleece or down sweater under this. What size do you recommend?

James Jones,Arc'terx is my favorite jacket line. So Alpha Theta decision time besides the length.Both jackets are made of the same material and will give you the same level of protection. Other key features they both have is helmet compatible hoods and pit zippers. Alpha: pocket on left bicep, 2 internal pockets, 2 chest pockets, Laminated quick dry chin guard,Theta: stowable hood, 1 internal pocket, 2 chest pockets + 2 hand pockets, Based off your size and weight I would recommend a L (I am not that confident with my sizing suggestion YMMV). My friend is 6"1 165" and can fit a small around his torso but needs at least a medium for the sleeve length. Do you know your suit size? or chest size? Do you know your ape index? Mahalo, Sumo
