User Review: Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket

Reviewed May 22, 2008 by Joshua I

Fabric: hoodie
Fill: t-shirt
Price Paid: $320

I rate this a 4 star jacket for a couple reasons...
I used to snowboard every day for a couple years...
My bro had an arc xcr jacket that I loved... more of
a skiers jacket.. but I loved using it.. I bought the Theta AR.

Since then I quit working on the mountain and don't deal with snow much anymore, but I live in the Pacific Northwest and I fish and hunt a lot. I figured I would give this jacket its money's worth and I took it a mile out on the jetti in Westport... yes it's hardcore conditions and will test about anything you bring out there...and what I've found against bare rock, and pretty much anything this jacket I treat like I'm wearing paper.. I got a nice good scuff next to the chest pocket.. I'm walking or climbing up rocks the size of trucks...
maybe possibly sometimes barnacles and I realize now I just have to be careful with it if I want it to last a long time..

But if you're in snow or not very hardcore about how you abuse things it's a 5.. I bought it for fishing and snowboarding... and if you're a NW fisherman try out the Simms XCR jacket.. It's pretty badazz and is a lot more rugged with more weight.. but...

I feel like much more of a pimp on any river or body of water with the theta, so it's worth it :) a must have for a snowboarder/pac west fisherman
