Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's
Near Perfect Storm Shell
By Matt Looft
Ranked #448 - Men's Technical Shells
May 19, 2009
Great tailored fit, helmet friendly hood (even with the hat AND bala), nice long cut, and super storm worthy. The Theta AR tends to live in the bottom of my pack for when the fecal matter makes contact with the oscillating rotator and my wind layer just doesn't cut it anymore. Light enough to 4-season backpack and long enough to tuck under your harness, it really is an AR- all around-er. An internal mesh water bottle pocket in my older version with their new Vislon zipper would actually make it Hard Shell Nirvana.
For fit reference, I'm 6'2" 230lbs, and the XL feels like someone stole my measurements in my sleep.
