Arc'teryx: Men's Theta AR Jacket - Altrec.com Product Description:

Featuring the new GORE-TEX® Pro Shell fabric, the Arc'teryx Men's Theta AR Jacket is a phenomenal choice for those who frequently find themselves face-to-face with severe alpine conditions. This new fabric breathes better, lasts longer, and is even lighter than the materials used in the previous version of this popular jacket. In fact, this year's version of the Theta AR is significantly lighter than in years past, offering a greater level of comfort and packability. Crammed with features to satisfy the outdoor professional or hardcore alpine enthusiast, the Arc'teryx Theta AR makes up for any excess weight this may add by employing industry leading innovations, such as micro seam allowances and tiny GORE-TEX® seam taping. But toughness and saving weight isn't all that this jacket is about. Waist and hem drawcords, articulated elbows, and no-lift gusseted underarms allow for full range of motion while blocking cold drafts and spindrift. Laminated zippers and bonded soft grommets contribute to the jacket's supple feel, and the one hand pull cords are exceedingly convenient when one hand is busy gripping an ice axe on an airy traverse.

Top of the Line Protection & Comfort I tried this jacket on at REI and was impressed with the feel and fit at once. The lining in this jacket is like satin. The sizing of the large fits me perfectly (I'm 6'2, 185lbs). The the articulated sleeves fit great not too long - about 2" past the wrist. The fit tip describes the fit - loose but not baggy. The pockets are roomy and in the right places. The length of this jacket is longer than other shells I have tried (NF and MHW) covers the hips, which is what I want. Wore the jacket hiking during recent heavy rain storms, no leaks no condensation inside. DWR finish didn't get that wet look/feel. Water shakes right off this jacket like it was a Duck. The Spruce color I ordered is very attractive, darker green with less blue tones than swatch. Altrec service is super - shipped the same day of order. This jacket is pricey but worth it. Saved over $100 by buying it from Altrec.

Best shell I have ever owned Fits great, pockets where you need them, never leaks. High quality but still very pricey. I got it on sale. Great shell for skiing or even everyday use.
