Arc'teryx  Therme Down Parka - Men's

The coldest weather hasn’t arrived yet, but I have worn this parka when the temps were in the 30’s, and when we had a cold rain a couple of days ago. So far, I am quite pleased. Impressive water repelling. Toasty warm. Good protection from the wind. Nice fit. My wife like the way it looks. 😁. I personally don’t understand other reviews that complain about the logo….seems like a trivial matter, and definitely not the kind of thing that warrants a lower rating. It is actually kind of interesting, and better than many labels that clearly declare the name of the manufacturer. Oh, well. To each his or her own

I’d read a lot of complaints about the zipper on this coat and wasn’t sure what people meant until mine arrived. The issue is that the zipper teeth sit almost flush with the coat fabric, with no extra fabric extension (usually about half an inch) that makes zippers easier to grip and pull. Without that buffer, the zipper is a bit harder to grab and start. In the photos, the green coat shows the Arc’teryx parka zipper, while the black coat shows a standard zipper for comparison. It’s a minor inconvenience that Arc’teryx could easily improve based on the feedback, but overall, the coat itself is excellent.

I’ve had my eye on the Therme for a while and really wanted to love this jacket. But once again, I’ve ended up stuck between sizes with Arc’teryx. The medium looks great from the front and feels form-fitting, but it’s tight in the armpits, even more so with a sweater. The large, my typical size, is obviously roomier and less restrictive, but laughably so—there’s so much space through the stomach and body it feels like I could stash a pillow under there. The materials and quality feel there, but at this thousand dollar price point, the fit has to be right. I’d really like to see more thoughtful and consistent grading between sizes, because with so much variation across styles and jackets, it’s getting harder to confidently buy an Arc’teryx piece.

Arcteryx used to fit me perfectly. Now, the sizing is designed to accommodate large bellies. The difference between sizing is now absurd. L to XL is a completely different design. L, I can get a t-shirt, maybe a sweater on underneath and it's very tight. XL is huge belly, waaaaay too much space and cut so there is constantly cold air billowing up from below. I'm 5'10", 230 lbs, muscular with broad shoulders. In the past, XL was a perfect fit...since now they want to accommodate large bellies in XL I can no longer support the brand. The sizing is absolutely absurd. Prior to this, I tried on the Veilance Monitor and had every intention of purchasing...nope. I was as i I was wearing a trash bag. Huge, billowing fit. You've pushed away your core audience and have made a huge mistake.

Got this jacket as a gift and I love it. I am 6’3 190lbs and the large fits me well (tried the medium because so many people said size down but not the case for me). The few days that it got below freezing in MN so far I have used it and it’s kept me surprising warm for how light it is. Not sure why so many people decided to leave bad reviews over little things. Giving this a 1 star because they moved the logo from the sleeve to the chest is ridiculous.

I waited all winter 2024 for the Therme parka to come back in stock. I wanted this coat so badly. The 2025 edition feels bulky and lacks refinement with its large Arcteryx logo on the front. I miss the older Therme models. The women’s version seems better designed. I’m 5’11 and weigh 180 lbs, and I bought a size small. I decided to return it.

Comfortable, warm, waterproof. Great winter jacket. Absolutely fantastic. Only annoyance is zipper is hard to connect but I am getting better at it. Also wish there was an inside right pocket for phone. I bought a size down and it fits well. Coats breaths wonderfully and insulation is effective. Hood is comfortable too. Very warm.

The jacket itself is great. Good balance of warmth, looking professional (will use it for commuting to Manhattan), lightweight, waterproof and comfortable. It gets dinged a star because sizing is completely off. It’s cut way too big. I normally wear a large but had to go down to medium.

I've been waiting since last season for this jacket to be re released in my size and it's disappointing the design has change with more in your face branding. The more discrete logos of the last version were a lot nicer and would be good to get a dark navy version again.

Amazing purchase, very happy with the jacket... I don't understand any negative reviews. Just going to have to get use to the zipper as it's the opposite way to what I'm use to. Other than that, feels fantastic, great colour and is incredibly warm. Perfect fit too.
