Not water resistant at all
a year ago
This was my first Arc'teryx shell jacket. Was super excited, because I have several other products (Atom Lt Hoody, Guide pants etc.), which have been excellent in both my mountaineering and day-to-day life. However, this product and experience has been totally different, and not in a good way.
For me the Arc'teryx shell jackets were the pinnacle of water resistant outer clothing, and when I got this jacket I was kind of waiting for some rainy days to try it out. Boy was I disappointed. The very first time in a slight drizzle, the jacket got totally soaked in about 10-15 minutes of walking. I'm not sure is this an Arc'teryx issue or a Gore-Tex ePE issue, but this is totally unacceptable for a jacket of this price. Keep in mind that the jacket had been used for less than ten times in normal conditions, just walking to work or similar lightweight use without rain or snow fall. For the water resistance part of it, this is a total bummer, and I'd give this jacket 0/5.
A few pros: Jacket looks extremely nice, the membrane feels pretty durable (although, I haven't yet used it for anything else than basic walking), and it is extremely light & packs up small.
If you want a water resistant jacket, do not buy this. I'm regretting this purchase.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We're sorry to hear that your new Beta Lightweight Jacket isn’t meeting your performance expectations and understand your frustration. The changes that we've made, such as PFAS-free and FC0 DWR are for the environment, but we also know that it is not as resistant to oil contamination as the FC6 DWR we used previously. As a result, you may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in jackets made with GORE-TEX ePE materials. However, you can rest assured that this does not affect the waterproofing of the internal GORE-TEX membrane itself. Customer feedback is important to us, especially as our team continues to innovate to bring you the best products possible while reducing the impact on the environment. Our design team relies heavily on user feedback, and we appreciate your honest review. We will be sure to pass this along to our design team. If you’re interested in learning more about our sustainability strategy, you can learn more here: https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/explore/sustainability/

Agreed! I have the exact same jacket in the same colourway. Wets out very easily but does ultimately keep you dry and returns to the normal colour surprisingly quickly. Picks up a bit of oil and dirt but I find a bit of wear suits this particular colourway and is mostly inconspicuous.s
Since purchase it’s become my daily given London’s recent weather. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase but was extremely disappointed with this gortex; not at all a dealbreaker for me personally but definitely feel missold.

Built to last!
a year ago
My last Beta jacket lasted almost 20 years. The glue on the seams started to fail which seems to be an ongoing issue with them but thankfully the GoreTex remained usable. Nonetheless I bought a new one knowing that regardless of the price tag over time it would prove to be a bargain.
Q: Size Purchased:

Q: Pros:
A: Fit, waterproof
Q: Cons:
A: Hopefully the seam glue holds up

Feels so much better!
a year ago
It’s the quality you expect from an Arc’teryx jacket, but with the new Epe or whatever it’s called feels so much better, no longer like wearing a crinkly plastic bag.

5" chest increase between sizes - are you joking?
a year ago
Once again cannot get a fit with Arcteryx! The jump between sizes is just too great.
I am 5'11", 44" chest, 39" waist, 180lbs athletic frame, but L fits like a cycling jacket whilst XL is all over me. The sleeves are also way too long on both jackets - and I have long arms!
Somebody needs to rethink this. These are very well tailored jackets, but that I would submit exacerbates the problem - there is simply a size missing between sizes!

A: L and XL

A: Too large jump between sizes

This is also my current frustration with Arc'teryx and why I haven't made a recent purchase and have gone to other brands for similar pieces. The XL is ridiculous and outrageously larger than the L size. I think it was a mistake for the newly "revised" versions of many of their jackets to keep their M size the same, but make the smaller sizes smaller and larger sizes larger. Don't understand this.

Had this jacket for one week now and it was already time to wash it, after the first wash of the jacket, that I carefully washed according to the guidelines, now looks weird, all places where there are logos or glued seems it looks strange compared to the rest of the jacket!
Made a complain and now I have to send the jacket in for inspection on my own cost! Must say it’s disappointing:-(

So here is the final conclusion from Arcteryx, I cannot state hard enough that you should never buy an Arcteryx product and I will neither as well....
The service center where it were send to did not mention anything about wrong washing at all, so Arcteryx just keeps saying their customers are lying, and I'm stuck with a faulty product from Arcteryx side, that they will not make means to!

New Beta, even better!
a year ago
New Beta, even better! I decided to buy the new Beta jacket as replacement for my well worn old Beta LT jacket, made from GoreTex ProShell. I like the cut of the new Beta better, it is a bit longer and so did the placement of the pockets shift down the in the sam amount. Much more comfortable to have your hands in the pockets. The hood, although not helmet compatible is the perfect fit for me wearing a toque for nothing at all, much better fitting than in the old model. Simple and efficient which I like a lot. The best part imo is that this jacket doesn't have pitzips, so no dingle-dangle from the zippers which I appreciate a lot! Never used the zippers in the past. I like this jacket, wears very comfy, breathes well and keeps me dry. Nice muted color, I got "Forage", looks so nice in person. Only thing missing is Beta-logo on the inner pocket, on the other hand the nice embroidered bird on chest and subtle wording a the hood looks very good to me.

Beta Jacket
Durable, highly versatile mountain shell made with PFC-free GORE-TEX ePE fabric.

Highly versatile, durable GORE-TEX ePE shell
Beta Jacket Men's
This is our most versatile GORE-TEX shell. Made with a durable 80D face fabric and a GORE‑TEX ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane that’s light, strong, and PFC-free, it delivers lasting waterproof, windproof, breathable protection with a reduced carbon footprint. The C-KNIT backer adds comfort, and the low-profile StormHood adjusts with a quick pull to provide coverage and maintain lines of sight. Articulation removes restriction, and an embedded RECCO reflector can aid in search emergencies.
This product is free of intentionally added PFAS.
The new ePE membrane technology is lighter and thinner, but just as strong and durable as the materials we used before. You may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in products with ePE membranes, but rest assured this does not affect the waterproofing of the membrane itself. If you notice the fabric wetting out faster than you’d like, simply wash the jacket and dry it to remove the oil contamination and bring the DWR back to its full power.
Beta
Versatile: high performance for diverse activities and conditions.
Trail

PFAS-free GORE-TEX ePE

Adjustable StormHood™

WaterTight™ zippers
The WaterTight™ zippers’ reverse-coil design creates a secure seal that weighs less than flapped closures, won’t collect snow, and minimizes snagging.
