I was looking at buying a rain shell and I stumbled across the Arcteryx Alpha, Beta, and Theta shells. Normally I would steer clear of Arcteryx just because its way out of my price range.
Today I'm really not seeing a reason not to buy one of their jackets. Everyone I talk to who owns one seems to love it and apparently these shells are bombproof and very versatile. Guys were telling me they do everything with them from ice climbing to skiing to using it as backpacking raingear.
Before I plunk down five hundred bones on one of these suckers I wanted to ask if you guys had any experience with Arcteryx jackets or Arcteryx gear in general. Any good or bad experiences with their gear?
