My first Beta was stolen after two months. My second Beta is more than 12 years old and when I replaced it, it was still everything I could have hoped for, but I had put on weight and couldn't breath anymore when the zipper was closed. My third Beta AR was dearly loved (amazing colour) and very carefully looked after - but the laminate came apart after only three years with comparatively little use (due to good summers and little outdoor work in the winters) - I am a walking guide and feel like I barely used it! From now on I feel I cannot really recommend this jacket anymore - and I used to recommend it to my guests all the time! For the price that these jackets cost (most expensive item of clothing I have ever owned!) I expect them to last longer! Having said that - it fit well, even with loads of layers underneath, and - until the laminate gave in - it was totally waterproof - and it was beautiful. Shame that it didn't last. I will watch the next Beta AR carefully. If it doesn't hold its promises AGAIN then I will have to find a new brand.
I own my beta lt since 2021. i love the comfort and breathability. It futs quite narrow so as a 1,80m/65kg women i took a size s but would have appreciated more size m for putting a woolen pullover under it. Unfortunately it lost its waterproofing a year ago. Now i still use it for biking daily but my shoulders and arms get wet always. I never wear a backpack with it, so that can’t be the problem.
Beta is a great all-around waterproof shell. The fit let's you move easily, even over other layers, the face fabric is light but fully rainproof and durable, and it has only the features you need. If you are looking for a single hardshell to use year round for skiing, hiking, travel, whatever... this is a great choice.
Absolutely love it!! I recently upgraded my shell since my older one started to show some wear and tear after a few years. The inside pocket is a plus and I can’t be happier with the pastel pink. Fits perfectly and does what it claims to do which is waterproof and wind proof. It’s lightweight and easy to pack.
Very lightweight, nice color, good fit, breathable
