Whether digging out camp after a snowstorm or linking telemark turns through a powder-choked glade, the rugged Arc'teryx Men's Theta SV Bib is ready for any backcountry test. The highly abrasion resistant 480N MG GORE-TEX 3 Layer Pro is not only tough, but it's quite breathable and supple too, even more so than the previous generation of GORE-TEX for extended and expedition wear. Three-quarter length side zips allow for extra venting when hauling a big load up a sun-drenched glacier and an impressive array of features contribute to the bib's supple comfort. These features include the renowned Arc'teryx laminated construction techniques, WaterTight zippers, micro seam allowances, and narrow seam tape, all of which contribute to reduced bulk and weight. Furthermore, a stretch back panel and articulated knees and seat don't tug against you when skiing technical terrain or climbing a dicey pitch. A large cuff diameter accommodates alpine boots, the suspenders are adjustable, and the bib front includes two handy pockets.
Arc'teryx - The Best Money Can Buy!
I live on the East Coast where I ski and snowboard local resorts in the Mid-Atlantic Region. We frequently see ice here. I also take at least one trip out west each year. This year I experienced BIG Powder. These Arc'teryx Theta SV Bib Ski Pants are the best I have ever owned. Nothing I have ever had comes close. They are light weight, comfortable and extremely durable. I am 6' 1" 240lbs and the XL fits perfect. The length is great, the built in suspenders are small and more manageable than any I have ever seen. They have a built in belt around the waist so there is no chance of snow in getting in when you are sitting down strapping your board on. The crew at Altrec is awesome also. Buy Sell or Hold? Believe me, these are an absolute BUY!
Theata SV bib
Amother great product from Arc'teryx. Using these pants for winter work, they keep the elements out.(local ski hill) Size is true and the short, reg and tall options are great.
Instep to Low
I like these pants with one major flaw. The instep patches are not high enough up the leg. They do not even go up above my ski boots. I am less than a month into the use of these bibs with fourteen days of skiing and I already have six patches of repair tape within two inches of where the instep patches stop. I like the pants but am very upset that I already have small slices in my new $400 bibs before I have even had a chance to put a crampon hole in them. Find a pant with a higher instep if you plan on really using these for their designed purpose.
