User Review: Arc'teryx Men's Theta AR Jacket

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Fabric: g-tex
Price Paid: expensive

The jacket is good. but it is not what it is cracked up to be. This is a follow up, after using the jacket in many an outdoor setting.

Zippers--Good and water tight...however they are tight and not so easy to zip without using two hands (especially the pit-zips, that seemed to get snagged)

Material--very good, good gore tex

Cut, very athletic, doesn't allow for much layering. it was ok. buy a size bigger if you do a lot of wintering

hood, chin gaurd really stiff, and rubbed on my fat face sometimes.

sleeves--good, well designed.

weight...light enough

overall a good jacket. No one has come out with what I would call the ideal jacket. Just good. Arc Teryx' is becoming a very trendy brand, along with Mountain Hardwear and The North Face. So, invest in one for college campus wear or in the office. I just hope they don't move operations to China and still rape the consumers with over inflated prices, while maintaining cheap labor. It will probably happen. Canandians are just as interested in money as Americans.
