Overall, great. But cuffs wet out in heavy rain.
a year ago
Bought over the summer for the wet. This is a pretty solid jacket. I fit an XS but bought an S for room to layer in the colder months. That was a good choice. Just about everything is solid on the jacket, including all pockets and zips. Hood fits over a variety of head accessories. There's just one issue though. Every time I wear the jacket in serious rain, the cuffs wet out. I don't know what the underlying cause is; I've cinched them down pretty tightly. It's really disappointing since it's uncomfortable, and I was hoping a reconditioning (wash + DWR) would take care of it; sadly not. Maybe you (Arc'teryx) can look into it? I've tried to see if others have had this experience as well, but haven't found much online.

The Do It All Shell

This shell is the absolute GOAT of hardshells. I've used it for hiking, skiing, bopping around town and even boating. It looks as beautiful as the day I got it, and the cut & collar setup are incredibly flattering. Well worth the investment.

Great Jacket
a year ago
Great jacket. I’ve used this as a rain jacket in torrential downpours and it’s my primary ski shell. The hood is the best in the rain of any jacket I’ve ever used. The fit is good with enough space to layer, but not too bulky feeling. The only complaint I have is after several years the zipper has become a little finicky and sometimes separates. Even after washing an lubricating the zipper I still have this issue. Otherwise this jacket feels perfect as a very waterproof do everything shell

great jacket...
a year ago
I bought this for my son for xmas. The jacket itself is very good quality. but for this amount of money I would have thought that it would come in a nice box or something on delivery. Instead it came in a flimsy packing bag. It surprised me because I bought a similar priced coat from Canada goose and it came in a beautiful box with a CG hanger and a beautiful dust jacket protector. I expected more from Arteryx. so the 4 stars is for the quality of the jacket but disappointed in the way it was delivered for the price I paid.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I enjoy this product.
a year ago
Just bought this as my first Arcteryx jacket and I am liking it so far. Compared to the Beta I like the Goretex pro material better as it feels more durable. I wanted something that could do it all so the All-Round (AR) made the most sense. Can't wait to take it hiking, camping, and more! No more trapped heat with the pit zips which I needed to have, and the draw strings for the hood adjust well to my small head + hat combination.
Drop hood is nice and comfortable. Looks great.
Pockets are a good length and size.

Fantastic Jacket
a year ago
This is a fantastic jacket with an apparent quality of build. The waterproof and windproof protection is next level.
The pit zips do make this a true all rounder whether you’re in the hills or commuting to work.
The size is great. It doesn’t feel too bulky with just a base layer but allows other to layer up underneath with a decent down jacket.
It does have a crinkly sound but it’s gortex pro and a durable one at that so a fine compromise.

Haven't had a chance to try the BETA AR in bad weather yet but the construction seems solid. BUT if you can, go to an Arc'teryx Store and learn about the different products. The manger in Manhasset NY gave me a thorough explanation about the differences in the products. Great experience!

AR: All Round or Always Ready? Yes to both!
a year ago
I have now had this jacket for a few months and it's become my most worn article of clothing. AR is literal in this sense. It is light, very well engineered, and is simple yet sophisticated with its looks. I had tested the Beta and Beta LT in store to get an idea of the sizing and can confirm this jacket is a bit "baggier" than the other two which are more formfitting. Is that a bad thing? No, I've noticed the benefits this fall as the ability to layer underneath has been such a welcome! My favorite part of this jacket? Feeling invincible as you trek through rain. I've gone on bike rides, hikes, and walks to the supermarket and water has had no chance of getting me wet when I get caught in it. Pit zips are far more used than I thought and really help with cooling off if you start to sweat a little. If I needed a new one, I'm getting one without hesitation.
