Arc'teryx Men's Theta AR Jacket Arc'teryx Men's Theta AR Jacket

A super hearty jacket-of-all-trades it's great for alpine climbs and demanding backcountry tours.

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.

Perfect shell: the fit materials workmanship is great.Just what I was looking for. I wish it was still made in canada nevertheless it's built like a M1-A2 tank. Great people to deal with. thank you


Best Shell on the Market - Period ! Image: 5 Stars
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)

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!!

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.
