I bought it for year-round use from snowboarding to hiking. I decided on the Theta for a few main reasons. 1. Gore-Tex Pro Shell is totally waterproof, extremely breathable, w…

I did a lot of research on this jacket as I wanted to make sure I got the best for all around wet weather gear. I have had this jacket for 3-4 years and it is used extensivel…

Arct’ryx do it again! With all the elements you come to take for granted with Arct’ryx, quality fabrics matched with a simple, but fitted, cut. However, the real stand out…

I didn't use this product. But I heard so many times. The Arcteryx is really nice. My friends said they are really comfortable and mild! I think it is good present for my Mom…

I was felt completely comfortable at -22 F (-30 degrees C) with everyday wear under a jacket. It is fully wind- and water- proof, plus keeps the heat inside. Adjusting the hoo…

The jacket is surprisingly light and it isn't bulky. It can be easily stowed or packed. The core loft performs well to heat you up. The warmth spreads almost immediately after…

The Stingray jacket never failed to return every penny spent on it in function and versatility as an all-around weather terrain jacket. I like to layer on the warmer side & sh…

This jacket is the absolutely best jacket I have for winter activities, especially backcountry skiing. The jacket is built a little large so one can throw on a warm underlaye…

I got this jacket for snow shoeing in the cascades. I wanted something different from my normal shell I wear and I wanted it to be a little warmer but not insulated. The soft…

Surprisingly warm by itself and waterproof like a duck's...you know. Layer for a versatile winter system. Hood is fully adjustable, visor keeps the rain off your brow, and the…

I had the version of this jacket from 13 years ago, and I've finally retired it to use while doing work around the house in the cold. This new version of the Theta is so much…

I was sad to find out this jacket has no hand pockets. In fact it only has two pockets on the chest. Not much storage space for a jacket that retails for $399. Exchanging it…

Unfortunately I have been shipped two lemons of this jacket due to a bad batch from North Face. They were missing the interior pockets. I can tell you that the jacket has…

Long enough to cover your bum. Sleeves big enough to fit over mitts. Covers your face. Roomy enough to layer to keep warm. Only problem would be that if you get it big eno…

Unlike other Arcteryx, this is the relaxed fit one. I always wear their usual large; but Micon Large is equal to usual XL for "roomier fit" and for better movement as they cla…

Don't listen to that other review. Moosejaw was awesome in getting me this jacket. I had gotten the previous year's model with rewards points and it didn't fit but by the time…

I bought this jacket last year just before Christmas. After spending the previous winter getting wet and cold in my old jacket. I have to say that I have been blown away by…

Arcteryx always makes high quality gear and this jacket is no exception. I previously had the stingray, and this jacket is better than that. It is thigh length so that means…

This is simply a great winter jacket. I use it as an everyday winter jacket, in addition to skiing and other activities. The soft shell is great and makes a lot less noise t…

Just received this today (blue/purple color). Looks great and is not too baggy like most jackets now, and is not especially long, which I like (contra the Patagonia POW Slayer…

This jacket is great fit/materials wise but the features are not as well thought out as other new snowsport jackets (crossbow, sabre sv, vertical sv). The problem I have is th…

I got this jacket in Tumeric. The color is absolutely beautiful, in my humble opinion. If the weather is 30F and above and you are moving its perfect. I'm just not convinced o…

Times are tough all around the country, but this jacket is well worth the steep price. The new Gore-Tex does not make that crackly sound when you walk (big plus for me) and t…

If you have $1000 to waste on a jacket then please send me some. This jacket is only worth $1K if there are 10 $100 bills in the pocket. Sorry to all you nuts that want to…

So, like a lot of Arcteryx gear, this jacket seems to have taken a direct aim at fixing the problem of a minority of users. Namely, the offset top of the main zipper which som…

I am satisfied with this product very much. For Field to use, it becomes a skiing area and the backcountry. It is very high-performance functionally and is excellent about t…

I've worn this jacket - and its prototype - since June and it has quickly become my go-to jacket. That's the jacket that I grab 80% of the time, and have to justify replacing…
