Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Women's
Probably the best out there.
By Leeb
Ranked #219 - Women's Technical Shells
July 8, 2010
Reviewing for my wife. Finally convinced her she needs a more serious shell in Juneau, AK than her 8-year old cracked pea-green membrane. This one was made in Canada (not sure if all of them still are). Top-notch construction inside and out. Medium fits her 5'6" 115lb frame with room for layers. The AR is longer than other Theta versions and uses a greater amount of the more durable GoreTex material on the shoulders/elbows/arms and butt area where more contact is made with other surfaces. I have an Outdoor Research shell made from the same material and similar cut, and let me tell you you get what you pay for. Bomb-proof yet breathable. Will get you through the apocalypse.
