Question 1

Is this good for skiing

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Hugo, thank you for your question. The Beta Jacket is a versatile mountain shell that can be used for a range of activities, including skiing or snowboarding. However, it is not specifically built for skiing or snowboarding. It does not include any ski-specific features found on dedicated snowsport jackets, such as a powder skirt or a helmet-compatible StormHood™. If your primary focus is skiing and you're looking for a jacket built specifically for this activity, we'd recommend exploring our Ski & Snowboard Collection here: https://arcteryx.com/dk/en/c/mens/ski-snowboard. Otherwise, if you're looking for a versatile waterproof shell that can be used for a variety of mountain activities, the Beta Jacket is a great choice.

Question 2

What size for 5'8" 120 lbs

Amelie, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi John, thank you for your question about the Atom hoody. Unfortunately, we’re unable to recommend a specific size based solely on height and weight, as fit can vary depending your measurements and personal preference. We recommend referring to the size chart on the product page and comparing your measurements to the chart to find the best fit. If you're between sizes, you may also want to consider how you'd like the garment to fit and whether you plan to layer underneath. We hope it helps!

Question 3

Does the water bead off?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, yes, the Beta Jacket will bead water thanks to its FC0‑DWR finish, which causes moisture to roll off the surface. Like all DWR treatments, it will gradually wear down over time and with regular washing, so if you notice the fabric no longer beading, a simple DWR reapplication will restore that performance.

Question 4

Wanting to buy for my son who is 6’6 and 220 pounds

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thank you for reaching out. Without your son’s full body measurements it’s difficult to recommend an exact size, but the Beta Jacket has a regular fit, which is designed to match their usual size comfortably. At 6'6" and 220 lbs, we’d generally suggest choosing the size they normally wear; however, if they prefer a roomier or more relaxed fit, or want extra space for heavier layers, sizing up can be a great option. It really depends on the fit and mobility they’re looking for. We also offer free returns within 30 days as long as the item is new with tags still attached, so they’re welcome to try the jacket at home and return it if the size isn’t quite right.

Question 5

Hi, looking to buy for my husband who is 5’9, weighs around 168 lbs, of medium build, age 60. Use is around 5 days skiing a year, we live in Scotland and it rains a fair amount so looking for an all round hooded quality waterproof. what is returns policy?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello there, based on the use you described (a few ski days each year, plus Scotland’s wet weather), a waterproof, hooded GORE‑TEX shell like the Beta Jacket will give him the most versatile protection across seasons. As for our returns policy, items purchased at arcteryx.com may be returned within 30 days of the original delivery date, in the same country of purchase, and must be in new condition with original tags attached. This gives you flexibility to try the piece on at home and ensure the fit is right.

Question 6

Bonjour quelle taille conseilleriez vous pour 190cm et 70 kilos ? Merci par avance

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Bonjour, merci pour votre question. Avec une taille de 190 cm pour 70 kg, il est difficile de recommander une taille précise pour la veste Beta sans vos mensurations exactes. Nous vous conseillons de mesurer votre tour de poitrine et votre tour de taille, puis de comparer ces valeurs directement avec notre guide des tailles afin de choisir l’option la plus juste. Cela vous donnera l’indication la plus fiable pour trouver la taille qui vous offrira le meilleur ajustement.

Question 7

Would this keep me warm during winter

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Beta Jacket is waterproof and windproof, but it is not insulated, so the key to staying warm in the winter will be layering appropriately. We do not rate our garments for temperature, as there are too many factors that influence this result from person to person, and we recommend referring to our layering guide for more tips on staying warm: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/layering-guide/

Question 8

How do I clean fat/oil spots?

Rick, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Kasper, thank you for your question. To help remove oil or grease stains from your Beta Jacket, we recommend first dampening the affected area and gently treating the stain with a clear, unscented dishwashing liquid using a soft brush, sponge, or clean cloth. You can also spot clean with a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments. After treating the stain, wash the jacket according to the care instructions. While these steps can often help reduce or remove stains, some oil-based stains may be permanent. For additional product care guidance, we recommend visiting our Product Care hub (https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/rebird/wash/stain-removal). We hope this helps.

Question 9

Is this jacket rainproof not just shower proof ?

Joseph, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Nikki, thank you for your question about the Beta Jacket. Yes, the Beta Jacket is fully waterproof, not just water-resistant or showerproof. It features a waterproof GORE-TEX ePE membrane and is designed to provide lasting waterproof, windproof, and breathable weather protection. Like all of our GORE-TEX jackets, it has a 28,000 mm water column rating, making it suitable for sustained wet weather conditions. We hope this helps.
