Customer Reviews for the Theta AR (Spring 09) Arc'teryx Men's Jacket

Polar Mountain Guy - December 10, 2009

By far the best jacket out there
I have owned this jacket for over a year and it is absolutely amazing in it's performance and function. It has plenty of pockets on the front for your "need fast" items. And the inside pocket is perfect to keep your iPhone/iPod or any other items you don't want to lose. Without a doubt this is the best jacket you should own and the price is well worth it!!!

Very Nice Shell
Excellent construction. A little stiffer than I expected but not overly so. As far as fit goes I'm 5'9" and about 165. The medium is perfect in my opinion. There is plenty of room to layer (it is a shell) and good room in the shoulders and upper back to move but it still close fitting if that makes since. The drawstrings are great and I like that the tail goes to the bottom of my butt. The hood is large, maybe a little to large without a helmet or hoodie on but I like that. Great zippers. I'm looking forward to many years of use from this shell. Worth the money.

This jacket is amazing.
This jacket is amazing. From the gore-tex treated fabric to the seam sealed zippers, the contruction feels indestructable. The hood is amazing and isn't uncomfortable like other shells I've had which include Patagonia, Marmot, and The North Face. The shoulders on a size medium are a hair on the broad side, but I'm sure once I've got layers on, I'm not going to regret getting the medium. This jacket is definately worth the money and I am more than happy with it. I highly recommend this item.

Great construction but a little big despite the athletic fit
Great construction, and it's nice to see that this jacket is made in Canada. The added length in the back is a great feature. Regarding fit, I'm approx 5'8" and 165 lbs but lean for my weight due to my big head, which some people think is filled with stones. Anyway, the medium was too large in the shoulders. Altrec doesn't stock small, so I had to order one from another firm. The small fits perfectly.
