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.…

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…

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…

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…

This shell will 100% keep you dry while out in wet weather. The only reason I did not give it "5 stars" is because it could be a little longer in length. I have been wearing a…

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…

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…

Although this jacket is very comfortable, stylish, fashionable, etc., the fit was simply a little odd. It was super short in the torso and baggy in the upper arms. The lining…

This jacket is fantastic; The extra length gives you more protection from the elements and gives you a seat that's waterproof. The zippers are clean and easy to use. The hood…

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…
