Arc'teryx Women's Theta AR Jacket (Spring 08)
If extended trips or a job as a guide place you in the outdoors rain or shine, then a tough, storm proof jacket, like the Arc'teryx Women's Theta AR is an unbeatable choice. It features the new GORE-TEX Pro Shell, a fabric that breathes better, lasts longer, and is even lighter than the materials used in the previous version of this popular jacket. In fact, this year's version is significantly lighter than in years past, offering a greater level of comfort and packability. Crammed with features to satisfy even the most hardcore mountaineer or backcountry skier, the Arc'teryx Theta AR Jacket makes up for any excess weight this may add by employing industry leading innovations, such as micro seam allowances and tiny GORE-TEX seam taping. But toughness and saving weight isn't all that this jacket is about. Waist and hem drawcords, articulated elbows, and no-lift gusseted underarms allow for full range of motion while blocking cold drafts and spindrift. Laminated zippers and bonded soft grommets contribute to the jacket's supple feel, and the one hand pull cords are exceedingly convenient when one hand is busy tending to a belay.

great fit, great look
Love this jacket! It's not too bulky, amazingly waterproof, cute design, and extremely functional. Layered, it is great for skiing, otherwise it is a perfect back country jacket. Pockets are nicely placed.

Arc'teryx, the Armani of Gore-Tex
We bought two of these jackets and got them for an good price we think. The jackets fit perfectly. I am 186cm and slim, she is 177cm and slim. We went for medium and small. The jackets are light weight, roomy and tight at the same time. The arms are long enough and the hood is big enough for a helmet. Everything is well thought out and it feels and looks like... the Armani of Gore-Tex. We have only tried them in days of heavy rain so far, but they have kept us completely dry. And they breath very well. Very happy. Can't wait for winter. We also bought some Arc'teryx pants on sale. Same thing. Great poducts, great value. We could maybe wish for a snow skirt, but with tall pants that should not be a problem. The jackets have great tightening features around hips and waist. The pockets are not the largest I've seen, but big enough. I don't think you can go wrong with these jackets :)
