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…

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…

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 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…

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…

This is a perfect jacket for any dude looking for a shell. My boy loves the blue color (and so do I!) with the light and dark blue. The jacket was super stiff when he first go…

To say I heart this jacket would be the understatement of today. I have heard other say that this jacket has weird sizes, but I would I have to disagree. I am 6'2" 200lbs, I g…

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 got this jacket this past fall and have worn it skiing 4 days now. It was dumping snow one day and this jacket kept me nice and toasty the entire day. It was a wet snow an…

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…

This is the best waterproof jacket I've ever used. I had nearly given up on GORETEX and fully waterproof layers for 90% of my days in the mountains, but the Axiom really is mu…

Just got this jacket, and it's so awesome I wanted to sleep in it. Arcteryx got this jacket just right; it has more than enough warmth (especially when layered over a wool o…

The fit was too tight through the shoulders and sleeves were way too long in the size Large, which my husband always wears in Patagonia. Strange considering this is basically…

All the OR jackets I've used have great hoods! This matters bigtime when you're slogging through the rain! The Foray's hood is no exception; it keeps the rain off your face w…

I thought I'd really like the Taro color, but combined with the material it's constructed from, it looked rubbery or plasticy, esp. the raised bird logo, which looks like some…

This is absolutely the perfect Wisconsin winter jacket! With temps ranging between -10 to 40s and all weather from bitter cold, blowing wind to rainy, blustery days, this jack…

I chose this version because it has a hood but it stows so it's not flopping around everywhere like some other jackets I have. It's like a warm blanket and is long enough to…
