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
