Arc'teryx  Beta Jacket - Women's

Wore it to Iceland. Experienced all-day raining and strong wind. Beta jacket definitely kept me warm and dry

I have been lucky enough to have multiple styles of Arc'teryx rain jackets (among other products). These rain jackets are the best out there in terms of water repellency. The Beta is breathable and good for varying weather conditions. It is light weight and highly packable. Size wise I will say that their jackets run quite small. I am typically a size 8 or 10 across the board, athletic build, 34DD, and 5'4". I purchased an XL in this jacket to make sure I could fit layers underneath. A photo is attached. I have the Beta AR in a size medium and it is snug across my hips - I can only fit a thin layer underneath. Very excited to have the larger size in the Beta to have options of what to wear underneath. It is a great jacket, but I would like to see them develop more inclusive sizing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me ages to decide to buy this jacket, it sold out many times during my deliberations. I finally committed to the purchase. I needed a reliable waterproof jacket which wasn’t form fitting, without the usual female form fitting seams hugging the waist. It’s really comfortable with just a t-shirt or with mid layers etc. The feature I love the most is the adjustable Velcro on the wrists. The pockets are practical, adjustable drawcords in all the rights places. I won’t be using this with a helmet so I found the hood size good. I really appreciate it being PFC free too.

I bought the Beta jacket in "Fortune". Navy onscreen it turned out to be a disappointing dark grey. I made do because I'd already returned the onscreen red that turned out to be brown. I don't know why Arcteryx cannot get onscreen colours right. So many other websites manage it but if that's too big of an ask, could we please get descriptions of the colours ordinary humans can understand, i.e. fortune = dark grey. I'd also really appreciate some bright, warm colours.

The Daybreak's color scheme for the assault jacket is excellent, combining practicality with style. The choice of hues not only enhances visibility but also adds a touch of sophistication to the design. It strikes a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, making it both eye-catching and suitable for various outdoor activities. Overall, it's a well-executed palette that elevates the appeal of the jacket.

I love the sleek and stylish design, which makes it versatile enough to wear both on the trails and in the city. The high-quality zippers, adjustable hood, and well-placed pockets add to the jacket’s functionality. If you’re looking for a premium shell that combines performance, durability, and style, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

Extremely lightweight but so stiff and noisy! Sounds like a bag of chips. You don’t get a lot for the money. Also arrived incredibly creased and I have no idea how to remove them, so I’ll have to send it back.

Super lightweight and durable! Took this jacket snowboarding and it didn’t affect my mobility at all, also don’t be worried to slip and fall in this jacket!

Bought this for my granddaughters birthday!! She loves it. Send me a video of the waterproofing. Can’t wait to go hiking thru the New Hampshire woods!!

A product recommended by my friend helps me resist the wind and rain during the walking process, and it is also very light and convenient to store.
