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.…

I am about the 1,000,001 person to talk about how amazing the Alpha SV is. Fortress, true to size with great mobility. 5'9" 170lbs. Athletic. = Medium. I got it in Summit S…

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…

Warm, comfortable (the inside is very soft fleece), and good looking - what more could you ask for? I got a Medium, which fits me perfectly; I'm 6'0" and ~173lbs, 40 inch che…

This sweatshirt is great. Keeps you warm and makes a great base for wearing under a shell. Very comfortable too and size is right on…

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…

After going back and forth between the R2 and R3 I decided to spend a little more for the R3. Glad I did. The fit is great...like many Patagonia offerings a little slim in tor…

In a nutshell: This is a very warm jacket that feels good to wear. I've owned the R3 for about 7 months now and it's gone on almost every adventure I have had. I've had a lot…

This jacket is awesome. It's incredibly light weight and packs down small. Not to mention it breathes like a champ. Whether i'm walking to class or backpacking in the appalach…

I have had the jacket for a week now and absolutely love it. I am 6'1" 180lbs and ordered a large. The athletic cut gives it a great slim fit, and the sleeves are a perfect…

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…

I have an R1 hoody, and sometimes the hood is unnecessary and gets bunched up and/or in the way. I love the R1 material and fit otherwise, so when you don't need the hood this…

I have tested this shirts ability over 100 times and is still performing like the first. Stretches if you need it to but fits nice and tight to wear under other layers. I wear…
- Garrett, 05/09/12

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 spent a week skiing in the Alps with these. They have a great fit and the Dry.Q Elite worked as well as Gore-tex keeping me dry. The Stretch fabric seems very durable yet…

Needed a good waterproof shell and this is it. Very durable and well ventilated. Have used these jackets in some crazy conditions and they have always performed great. Sizi…

I love this coat, I have had great experiences with it. Its great to just stuff in a bag in case it rains and it surely will keep you dry when you need it. It also serves as a…

I am a fan of Mountain Hardwear, but this is a poorly designed jacket. Mountain Hardwear calls it "ideal for any climb". It should say "ideal for any climb that you dont lift…

I'm giving it four stars because the fabric is savvy and this things totally feels bombproof. Serious zippers. Serious fabric. Unfortunately, compared to other MH jackets (…

I waited two years to research and ask questions about this jacket. Now, when I'm not wearing my R1, I want to kick my own ass for waiting. This is sleepwear comfort on the tr…
- Jason, 02/28/12

I really love this jacket, as it is very light, but quite warm, and more importantly, very breathable. It is a go-anywhere type of companion that can easily be vented, or pop…

I am 5'9" 182 lbs and usually wear a large. I might have been able to go with a medium here due to the "regular" cut of this jacket - "regular" at Patagonia sometimes means a…

This is a great jacket. The quality is top notch and it's extremely warm for the the weight. It stuffs into it's own pocket (pretty cool). The only issue I have is with the si…
