This is the most amazing hardshell I have ever bought (As it should be for the price tag) Let me start by saying over the years I have moved from North Face to all Arcteryx. I have numerous layering pieces including the Gamma SV softshell. All I was missing was a good hard shell. After hours of online research on this, the Theta AR and North Face Free Thinker I made the decision. Only 1 problem the sizing.. SIZE DOWN!! I am a large in almost everything.Owning the Gamma SV which is more fitted (I have this in a xl) I was guessing an XL for this coat. I am 5'11 185 bigger build (wish it was muscle) and it was a trash bag. A medium fits me perfectly.(Like all Arcteryx does) Sleeves are perfect and length hits below my belt.Plenty of room underneath for anything I need for layers.
