Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's

Ranked #334 - Men's Technical Shells
July 22, 2009
The best shell any one could ever buy..From 14ers in Colorado to paddle trips in AK, this jacket has survived it all--and for nearly 5 years! As just a plain gore-tex shell, this jacket is capable of anything from spring/summer rain and thunder storms to full on winter mountaineering. The theta always gets shoved into my pack, regardless. Other than fitting me a little bit wide in the shoulders, this is my favorite piece of gear. For winter, i layer it with an ultra-light down puff (which are often fragile/not waterproof) and a layer of merino wool. I prefer that set up to a bulky jacket for winter alpining and ice climbing. Can't go wrong with BC's dankest.
