Best Shell on the Market - Period ! 
by Anonymous
I have had the Theta AR for about a year now and can say with confidence that this is the best shell out there on the market. I won't repeat all the virtues that others have listed. I have climbed in the Himalayas (India/Nepal/Bhutan) and this tank survived without a scratch.It is completely waterproof/windproof/bomb-proof. The previous poster noted that the jacket is stiff but that is to be expected of a 3 ply material. If you want a softer shell you might like to try the cheap(er) heavier 2 ply shells with mesh lining which are adequate for everyday use. The extra bum-covering length is great allowing one to sit on snow or ice. I'm 6' 165 lb and the Large fit is roomy - for eg. on summit day I had the Theta AR over a Large MH Sub Zero SL Down Jacket as there was a lot of wet snow about. The hood is seperate from the collar so you don't have to unzip the collar to remove or put on the hood. All in all a rare top quality jacket still made in Canada. Buy one before they all bear the "Made in China" label with corresponding quality. Things to improve: 1.put a garage on the sleeve zipper. 2.Make the front zipper two way. 3.Make hood stowable/removable.4.Remove the elastic from the cuffs. 5.Improve customer service/responsiveness (Take the excellent Altrec a goal to strive for)
On the mountain, money is worthless

Take it fishing climbing or to the store in a downpour and you'll realize it was money well-spent. Only reason I didn't give it a five was because it's a bit noisy and zippers are stiff. LOVE the coat!!
Worth the Money

I recently bought the Theta Jacket and it can't be beat. The quality of the construction is great and the design's functionality matches the quality. The only thing I would could have asked for was more choices in color.
