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…

If you don't know ArcTeryx Products, you won't believe this jacket. It shocks the heck out of me that they can manufacture a shell of this thickness (not much) while keeping…

Holly Moose poop, $475 for a jacket! Never thought I’d buy a jacket that cost this much, but wish I would have purchased it earlier. I live in Germany and while I’ve only…

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…

The jacket was great until all the glued seems starting falling apart. Used the jacket less than 10 times and noticed that the glued seems starting coming apart. Never washed.…

My favorite feature to this jacket is there is no bulk to it. I can roll the jacket into the hood and it takes up no space. Easy to pack and fits well. I'm 5'10 and 200 and th…

The fit of the jacket is awesome slim but not to slim, 5"10 142 pounds, small fits perfect. The micro blue color is way cooler than the pic gives it credit for. The quality o…

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…
- Andrei, 01/23/13

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…

I had tried many different Gortex jackets and I was not impressed. The insides of those jackets were always wet with any high aerobic activity. I bought the Beta FL not exp…

The outer material is very high quality, pictures can't do it justice. The coreloft insulation is super soft, springy, and gives the feel of the perfect balance between weight…

Bought this for the hubby because he needed something he could just throw on in our cold WY winters without having to layer up. I was hoping it would be like my North Face Red…

Good looking, versatile sweater. Plenty warm for cold outdoor use (as a layer or solo) but not so warm as to be uncomfortable inside too. I’m 5’11 and have a 195 pound,…

The best thing about this pullover is the way it's cut. I have broad shoulders and a narrower waist. I have to buy XLs to fit my shoulders, but they are always way too baggy…

Excellent jacket, HOWEVER, about a month after wearing it, I found that there was a small delamination inside the main zipper. So I contacted MooseJaw to ask if I could excha…

Pretty much every aspect of this jacket is great except the price. I often hold my sleeve under the faucet of sinks to show my friends how sweet the gore tex is although with…

I haven't worn this jacket yet. It's still NWT. BUT, I do have the Alpha FL and the active shell is amazing, wore it in tropical thunderstorms in a rainforest, was dry, not cl…

This is perfect for wearing around town, where the lack of pit zips. The one downside is the very large, which is designed to accommodate a helmet. Still, a very nice jacket…

The jacket looked a lot cooler on the website then in person. The material is a little strange. It's an uncomfortable wool blend. The small elastic cuffs were also weird.…

Perfect for cool weather aerobic activities. Over just a t-shirt running at 40F I soon opened the zip, so it should be good to near freezing, lower with a good base layer. It…
