Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's
WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Ranked #3007 - Men's Technical Shells
February 14, 2005
I purchased this shell primarily for snowboarding and after receiving it am sure it will be well used in cool damp weather year round. What the pictures can't show are the incredible attention to detail and top quality construction that are built into this jacket. Couple those factors with the classic Arcteryx styling and you can't lose. Sizing is perfect, allowing for adequate layering when needed yet not feeling baggy when not, and the just-past-the-hips length is a definite plus. Finally, the design allows for complete freedom of movement in every direction, encouraging whatever kind of radical moves and maneuvers you might consider. Note that this is a technical shell designed to provide an outer layer of comfortable protection, not a "snow jacket". It serves its purpose PERFECTLY, and with appropriate layering will provide better warmth and protection than pretty much any snow jacket out there. Expensive--everything's relative....worth the cost--ABSOLUTELY!
