Reviews & Ratings for Arc'teryx Theta SV Bib - Men's — 10 reviews — Page 1

Refund is slow. But did finally happened as promised.

I've got a handful of days in these bibs now and have been pleased. They fit well, and are very waterproof yet breathable. Since there is no liner, these are quite a bit colder than my previous pants, but that just means paying a little more attention to my base layer. The biggest downside to these pants, as other comments have mentioned, is lack of pockets. The two small pockets in the chest will hold a granola bar and a set of keys, but nothing else. I knew that when I ordered the pants, so I can't complain. I've been pleased with this purchase.

Had a pair of the 1st generation theta bibs from 2007 and still going strong. Only thing was I made the mistake of earing them on sled. The runboards really did a number on em. Patched up & good for another 9 yrs I'd say.

I am actually returning these so I haven't worn them outside, but I wanted to put two pieces of info out there for those not able to try them on:
1. The cuffs are rather baggy. I was hoping to use this bib for ice and alpine climbing and I wanted a snug trim lower leg. That is not this bib. The cuff cinch cord is kinda annoying to use and doesn't really condense the ankle much.
2. The pockets in the bib are laughably small. I don't know why they bother. We're talking credit card and ID. It would be tight to put much else in there. You could fit a lip balm but there isn't much volume because of the trim fit so it would be a weird bump and probably uncomfortable.

As far as everything else, the fabric feels really nice and everything feels really premium. The bib comes up quite high and fits very close up top. I'm 5'6" 155 lbs with a muscular trim build and found the fit quite reasonable. I wouldn't try to do much top layering under the bib. The legs were plenty baggy to allow thick layers though. I found the inseam to be only slightly longer than I needed but certainly didn't drag with boots and would be just right with a harness. I imagine that if I were thin and tall (inseam over 34") and ordered a small it might be too short.

I ordered these bibs for next years ski season. Not only was the fit perfect, but the tried and true goretex material appears ready for the harshest of conditions. Great price and great service from Campsaver as always!

Ultimate Outdoor bib

Overall I have been very pleased with my Arc'teryx Theta SV Bibs, and have considered purchasing a second pair for when the day comes that my first pair needs to be retired.
Activities: I have used these bibs for many mountaineering trips, ice climbing trips, and countless days of skiing.

Fit: I love the fit of the bibs. I am 155 lbs., 5'-9" tall and have a 30" waist, and 30" inseam. I bought

My friends laugh when I wear these bibs in the warm spring skiing conditions. "But I fall a lot" I tell them, and these bibs are tough, and offer protection. They vent on the sides, so I don't get too warm. Plus they are Gore-Tex Pro shell, so they breathe real well. I often ski with just shorts under them, but put on base layer in the colder weather.
