Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's
JACK OF ALL TRADES
By Patrick
Ranked #700 - Men's Technical Shells
March 18, 2010
This is my fourth or 5 arcteryx hardshell and I have had at least that many softshells in the last 2 years [ okay I may have a shopping problem]
The Theta is the most practical as far as fit form and function goes. Alpha SV. great but alitle short and no hand pockets. Sidewinder pretty good but not a very adjustable hood and no removable powder skirt. Beta AR. also good but way to short nice and light though. Alpha SL pretty good but paclite is not as good as proshell. Back to Theta good ratio of strength and weight.multiple pockets.enough room for layers[ down jacket ] but not excessively baggy without it. I also have several event jackets that are lighter. but on really stormy days I reach for the Arcteryx for its length and overall security it provides. I am the dryest guy at the bus stop LOL
