Beta AR Jacket Men's

The jacket is amazing. Fits very well and seems very durable

Well made products. Fit was just as expected for Arc products. Great wind breaker to.

5”11” 165lbs 41” chest / 34” waist purchased size medium for alpine, touring, hiking, mountaineering. Jacket is comfortable, excellent weather proofing and durable. Had jacket for few years. Put through the ringer skiing glades, hitting branches you name it and while I have taken good care of it the jacket almost looks new. For most outings I’m wearing a base layer and atom LT and perfect amount of room and stay warm. On sub zero degree days add a vest or thicker puffy and it works but jacket is a bit tighter than I’d like. So if I had any complaints it’s that the jacket is bit tight and on the shorter side for cold powder ski trips-the rush or Sabre might be better for those or size up in this jacket if you plan to use in very cold.

Je viens de le reçevoir , c’est mon deuxième Beta Ar . 6’1 205 lbs , j’ai choisis un XL , manteau parfaitement adéquat pour porter avec ou sans manteau intermédiaire en dessous. Le manteau parfait pour tout intempérie

This Beta AR was purchased to replace a well cared for ten year old Beta AR which unfortunately delaminated during a wash. I sent the jacket in for assessment as I believed the jacket still had some life left in it, however Arcteryx were only able to sew it which meant that the jacket was not going to be fully waterproof in the sewn areas. I asked if there was anything else that could be done to provide a fully waterproof repair but unfortunately there where no other alternatives. Now Arcteryx to their credit offered me a nice discount on a new jacket for which I accepted and the old jacket would be recycled. I pay a premium for their products and have never called upon warranty before but this kind of service re-enforced my belief that the products are built to last and that Arcteryx stand by their products. I'm one happy customer.

La veste est incroyable, je l’ai prise en dark elysium taille L. Elle est légère en poids, extrêmement confortable. La marque nous laisse de la place sous cette veste pour y mettre une veste en duvet par exemple. Pour la matière sans surprise le gortex est vraiment une matière très performante, on ne ressent pas le vent et l’eau glisse sur la veste ne laissant aucun reste d’eau. Je ne suis pas du genre à mettre beaucoup d’argent dans les vêtements mais j’ai voulu me faire plaisir en achetant une bonne veste que je pourrais garder au moins 10 ans, je ne suis pas déçu elle a l’air très robuste. En l’achetant, gardez en tête que vous investissez dans du matériel professionnel. Pour les mensurations je fais 190 cm et la taille L me va comme un gant, je suis à l’aise dedans et il me reste de la place pour faire du multicouche. Prenez votre taille habituelle où vous risquez de devoir la renvoyer. Je riens a dire que la marque nous pré imprime le bon de retour pour nous faciliter la démarche. Merci

I am 5"9, 180lbs... my normal fit is a medium, perhaps a large if the item is very fitted. I purchased a size M Beta AR and the sleeves are at my fingertips. I do NOT have short arms. Made some measurements and the sleeve length is NOT what is listed on the ArcTeryx size charts... measures closer to an XL. I thought this was an abberation so went i for an exchange and realized that all the size M's are made this way. I called support and was advised that "this was a design feature based on user feedback". They suggested i could have it tailored at my own cost (~$100). Unfortunately, due to the jacket being purchased for me by a friend and my being unable to pick it up in a timely manner, i am also past my 30 days for return. I am frankly dumbfounded. The explanation that this jacket is a shell and is looser fitted for layering makes no sense. We're talking about ~4 excess inches sleeve length which doesnt even come close to the company's own fit guide. Do YOUR hands come down to your knees? because your arms would have to be that long in order for the sleeve to be at a reasonable position around the heel of your hand, or even at the palm. I owned a Beta LT previously size M that was a great fit. And while i know jackets have different dimensions based on purpose, you're talking about ~4 inches in variance. That makes NO sense. Even if the jacket is "designed this way" it's obviously a design flaw and i find it VERY poor that arcteryx makes no effort to remedy this situation. As a defect, it should be given consideration under product warranty. I have no choice but to spend another $100 to fix this jacket so it can be worn now. After being a loyal customer for years who swore by your products, i have to say this experience has soured me. Would i recommend? Not anymore...

Just purchased a second one after destroying the last one. My previous Beta AR lasted 10 years. I wasn't very easy on it. Surprised it asked that long. Was happy to buy a new one knowing it would serve me well for the next decade.

Well-constructed, but way too small. I'm a 6-05 former collegiate athlete who still keeps fit. The size charts indicate that XXL will fit a chest measurement up to 50.5 inches. My chest measurement is 52-53 inches, which would easily be accommodated by a jacket in size 3XL. There are a lot of larger men like me who have become avid outdoor enthusiasts after their athletic careers ended, and I would not be surprised if your inventory of 3XL jackets sold out quickly (they do with other brands).

Très bonne achat vraiment confortable Et très bien fait je suis satisfait de ce manteau

I bought this jacket at my local REI on sale for half price. This was my first time buying both an ARC'TERYX and Gore-Tex product. So far I'm happy with its performance. For reference, I'm 5 foot 11 inches, weigh 152 pounds, and bought a large. What I like: (1) Actually waterproof. I was skeptical at first if any product could be 100% waterproof. This one seems to be. I have worn it in very stormy winter conditions with no complaints. Also put one of the sleeves under running water at home to see how it would hold up. Was still dry after a few minutes, I got bored before it wetted out. Impressed so far. (2) Well built. This is my first ARC'TERYX product and I was worried it would not be worth the money (even half off). Can confidently say it is built to last. (3) Is very windproof. (4) Is quite versatile for different sports/activities. (5) Good fit and a nice color, layers well. What I would like to see improved: (1) Please add more storage inside (at least one drop pocket) and enlarge the already existing zippered chest pocket. (2) This is more personal preference than anything, but I would prefer the logo on the left to drop the text bellow it. I think it would look cleaner overall that way. Things to note if you're thinking about buying: (1) Very expensive. While this jacket is very nice, I wouldn't recommend buying one unless you can find it on sale. (2) I'd size up if you plan to use it for snow sports as it doesn't have a powder skirt. I've also found that the jacket still fits slim(ish) even in a larger size than I normally where. It won't feel tight by any means, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a tent if I only have a light base-layer on. If you only plan to use it hiking I'd get your normal size (which would be a medium for me). If you plan to use it skiing or with more layers I'd size up. (3) While I personally have had no quality issues (as of now) I have read reviews that did not experience the same results. I'd make sure to read up on the proper care for a jacket like this and buy it in store where you can personally check for any defects. Might sound a bit over kill, but its good to check everything when buying a product like this. Over all, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this jacket for skiing, casual, and hiking.
