Arc'teryx Men's Beta AR Jacket

Arc'teryx Men's Beta AR Jacket

Not too heavy, nor too light, the Arc'teryx Men's Beta AR Jacket is your all-around solution for backcountry protection. Although it's cut a little shorter than some other models in the mountaineering-oriented Arc'teryx Ascent series, a drop back hem offers adequate coverage during active use. For the ultimate combination of strength, breathability, and waterproof protection, Arc'teryx chose GORE-TEX 3-layer Pro fabrics for the Beta AR, using an extra-durable version in the shoulders and elbows, places that are likely to receive extra wear and tear. The permanently attached drop hood is helmet compatible and fully adjustable, and a laminated hem drawcord seals out bone-chilling spindrift. The Arc'tryx Beta AR Jacket for men also features WaterTight, laminated front, pit, and hand pocket zips, a technology that eliminates the need for bulky zipper flaps. This, along with micro seam allowances and the use of narrow seam tape noticeably reduces garment weight and improves suppleness.

Reviews - Arc'teryx Men's Beta AR Jacket

Brendon Kerton - 2009-10-22

It rules
This jacket rules and it makes me feel special. As a citizen of the Roaring Fork Valley I ski alot. I am also just generally in the mountains much of the time. This jacket will keep you dry and also make you feel good both inside and out. I need good gear and Arc teryx makes it. If you see me on the hill you can bet it won't be in a Starter Jacket.

True Love
I LOVE THIS JACKET. Be careful though, layers need to be worn to keep warm during winter days. But it is so unbelievably versatile. I use it hiking and to get around Boston in the worst of winters. I might even try it out snowboarding this season!

Peformance and style is second to none.
This jacket combines the very best in endurance, fitting, comfort, and style. I use this jacket for everything from skiing and climbing to a rainy ride in the rain. The neck opening is however a bit large and snow often comes this way :o)
