Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's
The Arc'teryx Beta AR jacket provides the backcountry minimalist durable storm protection in a lightweight and packable jacket.
- Hip-length Gore-Tex® Pro Shell jacket reduces layering overlap and bulkiness; the reinforced shoulders and elbows survive alpine abuse
- Gore-Tex Pro Shell 3-layer laminate fabric is tough, extremely breathable and durably waterproof and windproof
- Reduced seam quantity and thickness saves weight and offers excellent abrasion- and snag-resistance
- Gore Micro Grid backer is a thin, low-denier, low-density woven fabric that allows the shell to slide easily over mid layers
- Helmet-compatible Drop Hood™ offers fast access to storm protection; it lies below the high collar when not in use and can be cinched in to seal the collar
- Hood's cord locks are concealed underneath a waterproof flap to maintain a clean finish and protect them from potential snow and ice buildup; they adjust easily with 1 hand
- WaterTight™ front and pocket zippers reduce flap bulkiness; Molded Zipper Garages™ ensure a leak-free seal
- Features a full-length front zipper backed by a laminated interior windflap; laminated chin guard protects sensitive skin
- Pit zippers allow easy and efficient ventilation; WaterTight zippers do away with bulky zipper flaps
- Features a laminated hem drawcord and micro die-cut cuffs with rip-and-stick closures
- Hand pockets are vertically oriented in a traditional "chicken-wing" position for everyday comfort and are accessible while wearing a harness or backpack
- Internal chest pocket features a durable, low-bulk laminated zipper
- No-lift gusseted underarms allow jacket to stay in place when arms are raised, and ensure unhindered movement; articulated elbows ensure a non-binding fit
- The Arc-teryx Beta AR jacket features a dropped rear hem exceptional coverage
- Athletic, close-fitting cut aids warmth without inhibiting movement

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
I did some serious research to arrive at the Beta AR. Based in MN and active 4 seasons a year, it was important to have an infinitely layer-able jacket that's weatherproof and bulletproof (figuratively). This is the ONE. All alone it's great for all but warm summer days, still packs well. With some fleece and other layers, this will get me through the fierce MN winters. Not built for ninjas-in-training, it's a tad noisy for a sneak-attack. As for fit, I'm 6'2", 170lbs. and bought a Medium thinking I may need to go Large. Not so, in fact, the Medium is even a tad large, but overall, fit is great with sub layers.Beyond that, get ready for a jacket that's ahead of it's time. [...]

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
I am new to hiking but spent a lot of time picking out the best jacket. I won't repeat on all the great qualities of this jacket... Please be cautious where the jacket is made.I received the jacket that was "Made In China" and after comparing to the "Made in Canada" version, i returned the one from China.. you can tell the material is different and my friend cautioned me to stay away from the ones that are made in China, where he experienced rain penetration from the heavy rain and regret spent [$] on a poorly made jacket....

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
Like most people I cringed a little when looking at the price tag of this jacket but finally pulled the trigger and added it to my gear collection. If your idea of adventure involves extreme/wet weather you will not regret this purchase. The level of detail is something I did not see in the competition, the stitching is absolutely perfect. In my opinion this jacket is worth the extra dollars & ounces.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
Amazing jacket. Obviously its not cheap, but it certainly does everything you'd expect, and more. WATERPROOF, great as a shell, super lightweight, not made in China (Canada, I believe?). The fit is really, really good. I've seen other reviews mention this as well. Its better than any other rain jacket I've seen. Very comfortable, looks good, performs superbly. If you can afford it, buy it.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
This is pretty much a perfect jacket. I have been drooling over Arc'teryx for a long time now and finally decided to take the plunge. Leaving in a temperate climate I often find myself in rain, heat, and cold, sleet, snow. Get a little bit of it all. Just the jacket is perfect for 40-65 degrees. Any colder and throw a fleece underneath and you should be good to go! At first I thought the sleeves were a bit to baggy until I started moving in the jacket soon I realized they were like that for a reason. Range of motion in the arms is great.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
Water proof after hours of continuous exposure.
For my chest size (medium), sleeves are too long (extend to the tips of my fingers), and jacket is too short (sweater is sticking out from underneath--should be 2 inches longer). Yes, A. makes a longer version, but the 3 REI's in my area don't carry it. Outer pockets are positioned too high to comfortably putting hands in it. Hood is too wide/big. Overall, great material but poor design.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
Great lightweight rain jacket for the spring and summer months when it's wet and humid outside but it's too hot to wear a full out shell. Only downside is although it is an AR jacket (and I know Arc'teryx usually recommends a layering system), it offers minimal warmth when the wind blows, I usually have to wear a vest underneath it if its cold outside.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
the climate of portland oregon demands a durable shell that is bombproof enough for the constant showers of the pacific northwest. after buying it today i know it will over perform on my upcoming mountaineering expedition in the cascades. the cut and length of the arms is deceiving at first when you put it on, but once you zip up and adjust wrist straps you'll enjoy the comfort that sets arc 'teryx apart from any other high end outdoor brand out there.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
Great Jacket. I was actually hoping it would rain again after I got it. It's a little pricey, but cheaper than buying a new one with the lining that flakes apart every couple of years. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's:
I bought this jacket but a $450+ tax and add to that luxury tax, I returned it and bought the clearanced North Face Point Five, same pro shell, same minimalist features, virtually the same jacket minus the two tone reinforced shoulder and sleeves, I'm much happier with the TNF and so is my bank account. Not a knock on the Arc Teryx at all it's a great jacket but the TNF is still much more affordable. So I bought another pair of big fat skis for touring.
