Great shell, great length, best all around one
I really like the cut on this jacket. Great length. Fit is not as tight as the alpha sv, it looks better. I have been wearing it for skiing. No matter what the weather was, I stayed dry, and it held up really well. I see wearing it for many more years to come. The Deep Dusk color is really awesome. If you have the money, buy it.

Great shell
This shell is solid, even though its the longest shell according to Arc'teryx its really a normal length to wear for skiing and all around. I bought this to be an all purpose shell and for skiing. After trying almost every model this is the perfect one for what I needed. It's long enough to cover any layers you would wear, and cut with a trim athletic look. There is even a water bottle mesh pocket that is perfect for goggles. The hood and collar are excellent for storm protection, and keep your entire face covered when zipped up. As far as ski shells go, this is actually better in my opinion than their white line.

Perfect All-Around Tough Jacket
This is your ideal tough four-season jacket. The cut is long, so be sure of that when you order this. I goes to about half-way down your thigh. Full seat coverage. The material is super tough to withstand dense brush or rock and ice. Pit zips add for you protection. The black and orange color seems a little Halloweenish to me, but color doesn't really matter when a shell performs this well. Craftsmanship seems about as good as previous made in Canada Arcteryx items. It doesn't really get any better than this.

Arc'teryx Theta SV Jacket
While the dark dusk color is subdued and nice, the bright neon orange zippers detract a bit. Nothing too major, though. Fit is good, though with Arc'teryx one needs to be aware of the various cuts they outfit their jackets and tops with. While I tend to wear XXL in other more athleticly-cut jackets, in this one I went with an XL, which allows room for decent layering options for 'normal'-weather in my area and for my uses. Layers necessary for excessive cold would probably not fit under it, but thankfully I have another jacket that can accommodate those days. Workman ship is good. I like the beefier and smoother main zip they went with over the other style found on my other Arc'teryx jacket; it seats easier and zips smoother.

Awesome jacket
Without any doubt, This Arc'teryx hardshell jacket is absolutely awesome, Since I got it, I don't fear any chilly wind or heavy rain due to its materials. Moreover, it is so breathable, I feel comfortable with it. Another advantage, it 's so stylish, I like it.
