Hard shell perfection. Great hood, great fabric, great features. I wish I had all the money back that I spent trying to find this shell. Save the trouble and money and buy the best the first time.

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
I was in need of a powder day skiing shell that could double as an alpine hiking jacket and I found it. This jacket fits perfect and has an athletic cut. The drawer strings are all in the right spots and the wrist cuts fasten very well. I had tried on other Arc'teryx jackets but not this model before ordering online. This jacket is very long and is perfect length for siting on chair lifts and keeping dry on powder days. I haven't tried it, but there seems to be enough room for a fleece layer under the jacket for cooler weather. All and All, this jacket is every thing it's suppose to be and more.

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
Used jacket on backpacking trips. On my third trip (the first time it was exposed to significant precipitation) in arctic Sweden, I got soaked. Instead throwing it away, I reconditioned it, following directions carefully. On my next trip (Overland Track in Tasmania) I was again soaked- not a great place to be wet. My daughter was also using a $400+ Arcteryx jacket, which also leaked. No more Arcteryx products for us. I will use my jacket around town, since it looks good (as long as it's not raining)!

Great jacket. Best for skiing I've ever had. Awesome hood and zippers. Deep high pockets are great also sleeve pocket. Extra long back is great and keeps warm and dry. Top notch jacket. Definitely a sport fit

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
Bought my Theta on January 21, 2001. Finally sent it in to be replaced on March8, 2012. My Theta has been in every state in the country as well as overseas. Perfect for warm rainy days, also with my vest on underneath, it has kept me very warm with my -25 degree Minnesota winters. I will happily recommend this shell to anyone who asks, and pretty much everyone else that does not! Anxiously awaiting another decade of happiness with my new Theta!!!

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
Skiing in NM in December. Never got cold and had ample room for layering on colder days. Light weight, packs easily. Never got cold enough to put hood over helmet so helmet fit not confirmed.

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
I use this as a wet weather shell, as well as my primary snowboarding top. When it's cold on the slopes, you can layer with a good fleece. When it's warm but you still need water protection, It works awesome as a single layer over a t-shirt. Under arm vents are a plus if it gets too warm. Hood adjusts for helmet or without. I love then you can adjust the hood to make it a perfect fit no matter your head gear situation. My 100% of the time go to shell.
Range of motion is unmatched by anything I've ever worn. It fits almost as good as your skin. Never too baggy, and never to restricting.
"You get what you pay for", is coined after this jacket. You spend the money and you get the performance. NEVER been wet in this thing!
Just try one on. You will love it!

We are at the coast quite often with blustery weather. The jacket is warm, windproof and can be warn on the beach or while out dining in the evening.

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
It's a beautiful jacket, I'd just hoped for more when I decided to add it to my gear.
The oversize hood can be adjusted smaller with tabs and cords but never really fits great, despite all the trials I've done and help I've had from store staff. I question why the jacket needs a hood which will fit over a helmet -- like, I'd never climb in a jacket this long.
The waterproof zippers are a neat idea. However the front zip is one-way only, meaning I can't loosen it from the bottom on a long uphill and still keep my throat and neck warm and out of the wind. Major disappointment.
These zippers are quite stiff as well, meaning I usually wind up taking the jacket off in order to work the pit zips. Put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off -- gets old.
So if I head out for anything adventurous in the mountains, I grab a different jacket. This one always gets admiring comments at the coffee shop : )

Comments about Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket - Men's:
This is a year round jacket for me. Use it simply as a rain coat in spring/summer, and use it as an outer shell with layers underneath in cold winter conditions. This jacket will keep you bone dry in a down pour and block the wind and wet winter weather from penetrating to your core layers when in severe winter weather. Buy with confidence.
