| Arcteryx Mens Theta AR Jacket |
You want outside but you can’t decide what to do. The top-selling Arc’teryx Theta AR Jacket has you covered. This rugged, waterproof and breathable shell offers an extended hip-length construction that keeps you dry while hiking, climbing, skiing, backpacking or window shopping. Sure, other outdoor manufacturers tout multifunctional shell outerwear, but the Arc’teryx Theta AR Jacket takes the concept a step further with a near-redundant array of reinforced materials, seam tape and laminates along the shoulders, yoke, bottom, elbows and cuffs. Best of all, it won’t bog you down with excess weight. This is the waterproof jacket you want on your back when the nearest trailhead is a week away. Look beyond the weatherproof features and you’ll find an adjustable hood that fits over a range of helmets, a left sleeve pocket for a two-way radio and a chest pocket sized for your GPS and laminated maps. Whether you’re gone for a day or a month, the Arc’teryx Theta AR Jacket is ready for anything. The only thing left to decide is what you’ll do when you get there.
| Arc’teryx Fission Belay Parka – Unisex |
The Arc’teryx Fission Belay Parka wraps you in warmth while being completely waterproof. An awesome combination of waterproof Gore-Tex and Primaloft insulation make the Fission Belay the warmest and driest parka you can don this winter. Most insulated coats have very little weather-resistance and must be scrapped, or worn under a shell, when the wet stuff comes down. This is the parka for those who need extra insulation to keep them warm during low-output activities like starting the car or belaying your friends in shady conditions. Standing at the dank end of a rope while your buddy scales ice-pitches is no time to get the chills. Built to supply incredible insulation with minimal weight, the Fission Belay eliminates the baffling found in down coats to put the most warmth possible close to your core. With Arc’teryx’s revered attention to detail this is one parka that won’t leave you out in the cold.
One of the best-known and respected names in outdoor clothing and equipment, Marmot represents excellence.

Arcteryx takes their own approach to technical outerwear and climbing gear. Instead of imitating existing designs, Arcteryx innovates with their own solutions. Narrow seam taping, laminated pockets, welding instead of sewing and revolutionary WaterTight zippers that they somehow forgot to patent, are hallmarks of this Canadian company. Their distinctive designs won’t be found on the backs of every rock-jock or snow-bro, only on those adventurers that know that true quality has its price as well as its rewards.
