Good enough to buy twice.

This is my second time buying this jacket. The only reason I need to buy it again was because my first was stolen! Overall good enough to buy twice! I work outside and in harsh precip or whenever I have shifts longer than 8 hours this is the only jacket that has kept me dry warm and comfortable, other goretex or shell jackets may work but none have outperformed this, I got years of use out of my first one and it still looked brand new and held up to daily abuse, I expect this new one to do the same.

great jacket if it fits and the color suits you

This is a great jacket. I love the drop hood. I think it would be great for casual wear, snowboarding and its intended use as a serious alpine sport jacket. However I am in between sizes. L was too small in the shoulder but otherwise good fit. XL seemed quite long in the arms and kind of odd in the way it was large. Other minor nitpicks, the fabric is quite rustling and "loud" but that is too be expected. The Black Sapphire is an amazing color in itself, but matches poorly with every other shade of blue or black.

Confused by Description vs actual Jacket

OK, I received my Beta AR and it has a manufacture date of 4/25. It's April 2026 It has a Drophood and not a Stormhood (per description). So I am confused, is this the new Beta AR with Gore Tex Pro ePE or is it something else? How can I tell? Product X000009906.

Fantastic Jacket - buy once for life

This is my second Beta AR Jacket. The only reason I'm on to number 2 is because I outgrew my first one. but 8 years later it still looks and feels like my new one. Very durable and comfortable. the water proofing is top tier as well.

Unit out of stock.

I’d love to writing a review for a jacket that I was looking forward to, but, despite using REI’s own app, the jacket was out of stock in both sizes ordered.
