Super underrated out of the three Betas!
for 13 dager siden
Solid hard-shell that's great for heavy rain and snow! I have taken it with me on numerous backpacking trips where I've been caught in heavy downpours and decent snowfall. It's also held up great whilst caught in hurricane-like rain/wind during a trip to Mexico. Super durable, and I enjoy the versatility of it. Very comparable to the Patagonia Torrentshell. (Dare I say better, because of how much lighter it is.)
Personally, I got this one over the other betas because I preferred the 80D Nylon over the SL's 70 and fit — and the AR's drophood was a bit too big and was always getting in the way of my face when I tried them on in-store. (Also, couldn't justify spending 650... yikes!)
No pit-zips, but still felt "breathable," to me, as well as light — compared to other shells from Patagonia, REI, MH, Outdoor Research, Rab, Black Diamond, etc that I've tried on. Coming from someone who runs pretty hot most of the time.
Though I firmly believe you can get away with a LOT more than what this jacket is made/advertised as, and don't let the online hypebeasts and gearheads fool you into thinking this jacket is only made for city/urban/commuting use. Going to be trying Mt. Shasta next year with this shell on (mainly because I don't want to shell out for an Alpha or AR).
Only giving this shell 4 stars instead of a 5, mainly because I will say though — that a con for this particular beta is the overall lack of features for the price point. I rarely ever used pit-zips on older shells I've had in the past (hence why I got this version) — but I never fully understood what the design-thinking was on why this Beta didn't have any — unlike the SL and AR counterparts in the lineup. Seems like it would've made the most sense to at least include them to maintain consistency across the other two models, since it's advertised as a "versatile" shell, and I know for many folks it's an integral feature.
It also does not have a helmet-compatible hood, although the times I've gone skiing in this shell, it was easily bypassed by simply not wearing the hood over the helmet and/or having a midlayer that was able to accommodate the helmet. Though it wouldn't have hurt to at least have this beta have that!
The two cons that I mainly had weren't necessarily dealbreakers for me — but can be for others, in that case I would say the SL is also a great runner-up as well!

Lightweight and still dry!!!
for 14 dager siden
The Beta Jacket is a great blend of minimalism with serious protection, sent 5 straight days in the rain of Alaska and it proved to be very waterproof, windproof, and lightweight. Comfort/Fit is spot on.
The Beta Jacket is excellent – fully waterproof, very durable, and built with top-notch quality. I’ve worn it in heavy rain and wind, and it keeps me completely dry. The materials and construction feel long-lasting, and it’s clear this jacket is made to handle years of use. Highly recommended. I ordered a Large and I’m 6’, 205lbs, fits perfectly.

Perfect Jacket for Every Activity
for 30 dager siden
Living on BC's West Coast, the climate is mild, but we get our share of wet days. This jacket repels rain beautifully, the hood is perfectly designed to keep the drops off my glasses, and the collar comes up just to my chin (I prefer it to the higher ones, as I find them uncomfortable & an advantage only when in extreme conditions). Easy to maneuver in, thanks to the cut & styling, and the fabric is supple. It's the perfect jacket for my lifestyle; walking about & hiking, & a bit of skiing (I'm 75, so not so much now).

Cling Wrap Jacket
for en måned siden
My wife purchased this jacket a year ago, and after doing some thorough research of my own, I decided to follow her lead and got mine yesterday. Overall, the jacket is excellent—well-designed and high-quality. However, there's one significant issue that kept me from giving it a full rating.
This is an outer jacket, which means it's meant to be worn over other clothing. Unfortunately, the designers of the Arc'teryx Beta jacket seem to have overlooked a key point: many men—especially older men—tend to carry some weight around the midsection. The jacket’s slim cut makes it a poor fit for those of us with a bit of a belly, effectively excluding a large portion of the intended market.
This "slim fit" trend seems to be popular across many clothing brands these days, but in cases like this, it comes at the cost of comfort and practicality for a broader range of customers.

Hi Paulo. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the Beta Jacket. We’re glad to hear you’ve found the design and quality to be excellent, and we also appreciate your perspective on the fit. The Beta is built with a regular fit, but we understand that this can feel restrictive for some body types. Your comments on comfort and inclusivity in sizing are valuable, and we’ll be passing them along to our design team for consideration.

Great all-rounder shell
for en måned siden
This has been my go-to shell for the past year. Fit wise I went with a large, I'm ~182cm tall and ~180lbs. The jacket is loose enough to fit a mid-layer underneath like a Delta without being too restrictive which has been great for winter bike commuting.
The fabric is super durable - I recently wore my Beta mountain biking and the jacket survived hitting a tree and OTBing straight to my shoulder, I really did not expect the fabric to survive the sliding impact but the shell came out unscathed which was pretty awesome to see.
On a waterproofing standpoint the jacket has performed better than other shells I have had in the past. The upper limit is lower than the Alpha but for day hikes and bike commuting with rain I have had no problems remaining dry in inclement weather. Weight wise I would not necessarily grab this jacket for multi-day backpacking but if you're looking to only purchase one shell this will definitely do the job as the jacket packs into it's hood quite well and it compresses fairly easily.
Overall if you're looking to get one shell, this would be the one that would check most of the boxes!

Super
for en måned siden
Super content, mon fils a la même en noir et je l’ai porté en Rando sous une pluie battante. J’étais absolument sec. Et le SAV est irréprochable, mon fils sur sa veste à la fermeture qui a cassé : ils l’ont remplacé sans soucis. Ça reste un peu cher tout de même.
Dette er vårt mest allsidige GORE-TEX-skall. Laget av et slitesterkt 80D ytterstoff og GORE-TEX ePE-membran (utvidet polyetylen) som er lett, sterk og fri for PFC, gir den vanntett, vindtett og pustende beskyttelse og har et mindre karbonavtrykk. C-KNIT innerstoffet gir komfort, mens StormHood™ med lav profil kan justeres for å gi dekning uten at det går ut over sikten. Formsydde ledd for bevegelighet, og en RECCO-brikke som kan lette søk i en nødsituasjon.
Dette produktet er fri for tilsiktet tilsatt PFAS.
Den nye ePE-membranteknologien er lettere og tynnere, men like sterk og slitesterk som materialene vi brukte tidligere. Du legger kanskje merke til at ytterstoffet «vannmettes» litt raskere på produkter med ePE-membran, men du kan være sikker på at dette ikke påvirker vanntettheten til selve membranen. Hvis du merker at stoffet blir vannmettet raskere enn du ønsker, er det bare å vaske jakken og tørke den for å fjerne oljeforurensningen og få DWR-behandlingen tilbake til sin fulle styrke.
