It’s in the name — the best all round

5 months ago
The beta AR is a proven winner; not too hot for the occasional summer storm but really coming in to its own in early spring and late fall. As for winter, the perfect outer when the wind and snow kick up. I love the pit zips, they are like having a built in thermostat. Build quality is excellent.

Great Product

Fantastic for outdoor adventures! It's completely waterproof and windproof, and the Gore-Tex Pro fabric feels durable yet flexible. The details like helmet-compatible hood and pit zips make it super functional. A bit pricey, but worth every penny for serious hikers and climbers!

Great lightweight shell

5 months ago
Purchased this product 2 months ago so I haven't needed to wear it very often so far in the summer months, but living next to lake superior in upper michigan on the cold windy/rainy days it hasn't let me down. Weather it's MT biking in the rain or fishing off shore. It's a wind blocker for sure.

An All-Year Jacket

5 months ago
An amazing jacket that is truly all round. It’s just light enough to be used in the summer over a t shirt and just heavy enough to wear backcountry skiing. The coverage and cut are great for mobility and protection. Love the drop hood!

I was the only dry person on the trip!

5 months ago
This shell is an amazing rain jacket. I bought mine in 2021. Recently, on a 6-day, 5-night spring Smokies Mountains trip, it rained hard every day except for the days when it was snowing! Needless to say, it was cold and wet. Out of our group of 8 hikers, I was the only one with an Arcteryx jacket (the Beta AR), and I was the only one in the group that stayed dry throughout the trip. After the trip I noticed some delamination on the sleeves, but Arcteryx warranty is excellent and they covered the replacement cost of the jacket. Buy the jacket, use it, enjoy it, and wash it more often than you think you should.

Stylish robust outdoor shell

5 months ago
Stylish jacket which has some excellent practical features. Although some have complained about the arm length I have found this to be a perfect fit. The extra length means that when I pair it with my cerium jacket the shell sleeves cover all of the mid layer and don't ride up with certain movements. In time I'm sure this jacket will serve me well in my outdoor pursuits. Only negative is that it's more costly than other market equivalents.

Perfect jacket

I’ve had this jacket about a year now, only one winter. When layered properly this thing is solid in the snow. Rest of the year I wear it on its own when it rains and it’s perfect. Doesn’t get better than this!!

Amazing jacket

I've had the same Beta shell for 10+ years, it was time for an update. The new AR looks and fits great, excited for the new stand-up collar & drop hood, and another decade of protection from the elements.

Veste de qualité

Pour remplacer mon ancienne veste Beta AR, j'ai retrouvé les qualités de cette excellente veste avec en plus un choix de coloris plus étoffé. J'ai déjà testé cette veste sous des journées entières de pluie sans jamais être mouillé ni par la pluie, ni par la transpiration. Toutefois, j'ai trouvé que les manches étaient plus longues que sur mon ancienne veste qui datait de 2014.

Quality Dropoff

Not like the old jackets. Materials seem cheaper and I’ve worn it infrequently (under 5 times) but the wear is really starting to show. Shoulders fit too tight considering torso bagginess and arm length

Hello there, thank you for your feedback on the sleeve length. We design our products with a range of body types in mind, but we understand that fit can vary. The longer sleeve length is intended to provide better coverage during movement and outdoor activities, but we realize this might not suit everyone. We appreciate your input and will pass it along to our design team for future considerations.
