Arc'teryx  Beta Down Parka - Women's

Great jacket, worth the price. I’ve never worn Arc’teryx before but I was so impressed. Weather has been in the 20s and I just wear a t shirt underneath. Double pockets are amazing. Hood is big! Outside is easy to clean and keep clean. Only complaint is the neck is tight, hard to wear a hoodie underneath because neck is so tight.

I wore this parka today on a hike in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather. It was not snowing, but it was cold. I wore a smartwool merino wool base layer with a Fjallraven sweater for midlayer. I did not wear the parka on the way uphill, but I did wear it on the way down and I was not warm enough. My core was surprisingly cold on the way down and my toes and hands were cold even though I had my hands in my pockets. The coverage and pockets are great, but I don’t know why I was still cold. There did seem to be pretty good wind protection. I am open to suggestions and don’t really want to return this parka, but I’m hesitant to wear it again because I don’t know if I can rely on it.

I mostly used it for my rainy walks and rainy public transits these past cold days and it kept me dry and warm for the whole time! Plus, I really love the system of the side pockets where there's a divider for the upper and lower- made it so convenient to have access on my wallet and phone without it losing the shape of the jacket.

Very short arms. If I stretch my hands forward, it goes up and I am standing with naked wrists, which is not cool by cold.. my husband has Men’s model and it’s made much better

I researched many coats before settling on the Beta Parka. I love that it feels light and keeps me very warm while travelling on my mobility scooter against the cold wind. It also has a nice classic style wth a good amount of pockets. I’m glad I tried it on at the store as it does run large. I usually fit into a small for most coats but purchased the XS which still has room for layering underneath and the sleeves are the perfect length. For reference I’m petite build 157cm 54kg. I do not find this jacket overly noisy at all as another reviewer stated.

This jacket is LOUD! It makes so much noise when you move that it is distracting and would become super irritating...I opened it in the kitchen and the people in the living room heard me walking because the jacket made so much noise!!!! Obviously, I am returning it...pronto!

Love the Beta parka! Super warm but light. I do not find this noisy as a previous reviewer mentioned. Many pockets inside and out. The dual front zipper is great for easily getting in and out of the car. Stylish, functional and luxurious!

Obsessed with this parka! Classic look, super warm down, and so practical with 4 outer pockets and 2.5 inner ones—perfect for all my essentials. Bonus: when it got dirty brushing against my car, it wiped clean effortlessly. Highly recommend!

Amazing my light weight and warm. Love how there are so many pockets that were well thought out of. The nylon shell makes it so easy to clean when dirty without having to wash the coat to clean it. Just wipe it off.

I live on Van Isle and wore this coat daily for doggie walks in the woods from Oct-March last year. It keeps you completely warm and dry even in biblical rain storms and wind.
