Arc'teryx  Beta Jacket - Women's

This jacket is a staple for me year-round! I work outdoors in Ontario, Canada as a wildlife and conservation photographer, and this is my go-to rain jacket for spring/summer/fall. I also wear it in the winter as an outer layer over my Thorium Hoody. The material is durable. I've bushwhacked through dense forests wearing this jacket and it hasn't torn. I find the waterproofing to be excellent, while the jacket is much more breathable than other comparable jackets I've worn. I typically wear either an XS or S in Arc'teryx. I wear an XS in this jacket and find I'm still able to comfortably wear multiple layers underneath.

I first purchased an Arcteryx beta jacket years ago. It was a great jacket, lasted a long time and retained its waterproofing right until the end. Needless to say, it seems the quality has gone downhill while the prices have gone up. I picked up another beta jacket about this time last year and already I've noticed it soaking through during heavy rainfall and the material seems not as great of quality. Flimsier, as one review pointed out. Add to the fact that they done away with the pro discount for military members and I'm finding myself one disappointed customer. It's too bad, they're quite stylish but I think they really need to work on the quality. Especially for the prices being asked.

I loved this jacket, at first. Unfortunately after only 1-2 years it's no longer waterproof at all. Started soaking through only a year after buying it and now it's pretty useless. I'm disappointed because it's a nice fit and style but low quality.

I bought this 2 weeks ago! Just in love with it. It is perfect under the ran and also with wind

Love the color, will purchase smaller size. Arrived fast
