Arc'teryx Women's Theta AR Jacket (Spring 09)

Arc'teryx Women's Theta AR Jacket (Spring 09)

If extended trips or a job as a guide place you in the outdoors no matter the weather, a tough, storm proof jacket, like the Arcteryx Theta AR for Women is a necessity. Featuring GORE-TEX®: Pro Shell, a fabric that breathes better, lasts longer, and is even lighter than anything else on the market today, and offers a greater level of comfort and packability. Decorated with features to satisfy even the most hardcore mountaineer or backcountry skier, the Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket remains amazingly light by employing industry leading innovations, such as micro seam allowances and tiny GORE-TEX®: seam taping.

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 tending to a belay.

Excellent Features and Performance
You might not think that Gore-Tex Pro shell is better than Gore-Tex Performance shell, but it is. The strength, durability, and breathability of the fabric is unmatched. The jacket I received was "made in Canada." Awesome. Nothing amiss, all stitching perfect. Love the fact that the are two drawcords, one at the hem and also one at the waist. The length of this jacket--a little longer--provides coverage where other jackets come up short. Plenty of pockets inside and out. Fit is right on, with just enough room to layer, but not too much. At home on the mountain, in the backcountry, or at the resort. Enjoy. Worth every penny.

Well built, attractive design, and good customer service
My wife and I each purchased the Theta AR after reviewing the Arc'teryx website, trying on some jackets at our local brick and mortar, and garnering opinions from friends. Reasons to buy are myriad but we liked the weight, the length, and the Gore-Tex Pro. It is remarkably lightweight and occupies little space, which is important when loading up the SUV with skis and gear for a family of four. We plan on using the AR as it was intended, all four seasons, and the weight and robust nature of the Gore-Tex Pro will make it among the most useful gear we own. The length allows it to be used for skiing, whereas the similarly intended Alpha and Beta might prove less effective. An added bonus is the attractive color and design. My wife stands 5'5, 124 pounds and the small is perfect. Large enough to allow her to layer with a wind-proof vest and soft shell underneath yet fitted enough to wear alone in warm, wet weather. Altrec held my order and emailed me to confirm some conflicting details on my order. I appreciated their attention to detail and thanked them for taking the extra step to minimize the possibility of fraud.
