Beta AR Jacket Men's

I have many products from this brand, many are coming out good but in the case of this jacket a disaster. It has little use since I only use it on a few occasions and only to take the dogs for a walk when it rains. As you can see in the photos and in the video it has everything broken and without signs of wear, the seams came off. I do not understand how a jacket that is designed for climbing and heavy wear sports can suffer these tears. I have other brands and they all last me more than 10 years and without breaks or strange things but this one is not only 3 years old and is detached. It is not the first time that it happens with a product of this brand, also in another something similar happened to me.

I purchased a Beta AR jacket on 23/09/2018. After less than 2 years use the zip failed and now the pocket fills with water. I returned the jacket to Ellis Brigham who assured me the jacket was returned under warranty and that I should receive a favourable outcome. After waiting almost 3 months I have now been told the jacket will not be replaced or repaired! Avoid Arc'teryx products, you are paying a premium for sub-standard equipment that doesn't last. They prefer to send ambassador's around the globe on jolly's instead of looking their loyal customer's, disgraceful behaviour.

So, I purchased my Beta AR a month ago. it got its first use on a raining morning on the trail. performance was excellent with no water penetration in moderate to heavy rain for about 4 hours. My one gripe is that the jacket got dirt marks along some creases where my pack's wait strap was cinched down. I washed it immediately after getting home (per the instructions with the Nu Care detergent), and these dirt marks didnt come out. I did get the Glade color, so I understand that dirt will be easier to see. Still, I'm disappointed that my first noderate use already has these lifetime stains.

Kürzlich gekauft bei Peter O in Winterberg. Schöne schlichte Jacke ohne Schnörkel und super Passform. Top zum Einsatz für alle Outdooraktivitäten.

Two of these models in my family had to be sent back for repairs within 3 years of purchase. Speaking with customer service, I was advised the jacket should be washed after every 12 to 14 times it's worn. WHAT?? Now there's a strong selling point.

I bought this jacket a year ago for a long stomp around Europe (I intended to get the Zeta AR but came out the store with this instead) I was out for a whole winter in this, one week in the worst rainfall I've ever been caught in and I was comfortable, if not pleased, to be out hiking in that. Also came back without a scratch or a stain despite the rough treatment it was given. So when it really counts, this jacket aces it! But on the day-to-day or to take with you just-in-case it's a nuisance. The hood is just irritating, the fabric is noisy and the fit is awful if you aren't properly layered. I ended up buying another 3L in a similar style to the Zeta which is my go-to while this has stayed in a wardrobe undisturbed for several months until conditions made it worth breaking out again recently. The jacket is undoubtably a worthwhile investment for serious outdoor types with frequent cause to be layering up, wearing helmets and getting the use out of the jacket it is marketed for. If, like me, you are mainly out and about in mild but wet conditions and not climbing on anything more challenging than the back of a horse, I'd say Arc'teryx have better products for you to splurge on. The three stars reflect the cast-iron five stars it deserves for the four months of the year I've got out of it.

Ok, just to be clear beforehand: this jacket should have had five stars, was it not for one major flaw that makes it unusable for me. I first bought the medium-sized jacket and although it fits great, the pit zips push into my armpit. This is even without layering. So, I bought another one in large with the pro-shell fabric. The pro-shell is a welcome upgrade but I still got the pit zip problem. However, an improvement on the medium-sized jacket, the pit zips are still annoying and the fit is now on the large side. I would describe my body type as athletic, but not even close to being a bodybuilder. So, I am quite surprised, that I don't read more reviews about this. Assuming that most users of Arcteryx are at least sporty. So Arcteryx, is there another jacket in your line up - with a slightly more accommodating cut - that is a better fit for me? For example the Alpha series. I know you have options without the pit zips but I still prefer them to dump excessive heat. To buy another beta jacket, for me, the sleeves or the pit zips need a design update.

I bought this shell last winter for ski touring and to bring it to all of my summer treks. I loved it touring. I loved it hiking. I loved it skiing inbounds. I litterally carried it through all of my hikes this summer as a bullet proof protection in case a storm caught up with us. Other than that, it fits nice and looks great!

Ce manteau a tout pour lui! Il est résistant, souple et sa coupe le rend confortable et polyvalent. C’est un incontournable!

I bought this jacket about a month ago, unsure if I would be using it the mild fall temperatures in Canada, however I have found use for it almost daily since. It is fully water/wind proof so it immediately takes care of those elements. Only trick is finding something to layer underneath. I run warm and am good with just a thin sweater underneath in 0-10 degree weather. I am an athletic 5'9' build and the small fits great. It is likely to be too small if I use puffier base layers (down). I got the Caribou color and am super pleased with it. The hood is not attached to the main portion of the jacket which is the reason I bought this jacket. I really hate the tugging feeling if you aren't wearing the hood so I opted for this option, with this separate and it does exactly that; very very pleased with this item.

Bought as a replacement for a previous version of the Beta AR that lasted 18 years of four season, multi-sport (skiing, hiking, around town) hard use (2 minor fixes by Arc Teryx during it’s lifetime until the zippers de-laminated). The new Beta AR has updated zippers, nicer Gore-Tex and a larger hood. I expect another 18 years out of this one.

I've taken this jacket out in a wide variety of conditions - tropical storms in Mexico - misty hikes in the Pacific Northwest - downpours in the Mid Atlantic US It's fantastic as a wet weather barrier, extremely packable, and the one jacket I trust to keep me dry when I need it to. Fits well, accommodates a Phase AR + Atom LT for easy layering/warmth. Rolls into its hood and stuffs into a crossbody hipsack for unpredictable weather days. Great jacket to bring with you no matter where you go.

Great durability, should last quite a while. Fits well over a puffy, but also doesn't look too baggy with less layers.

I bought the beta ar shell two years ago and it’s the most used outer wear item in my collection. So versatile I carry it with me all the time.

Just bought this after months of research...Have owned Columbia and North face jackets to name a few...Also compared to other skiing and winter jackets, but I am looking for a product that is long lasting and can do what I need it to do...Looks like I made the right choice so far. Pending long term review.

This was my second major purchase frlm Arcteryx, the first being the Atom AR Jacket. Both jackets were size ‘S’ (5’7”; 157lbs; 38”chest; 31waist) and i was hoping that my BetaAR would fit overtop of the Atom...fit beautifully with the hood up...a little cumbersome with the hood off but doable. so far ive used this in the Western Pa weather, late summer and Autumn, and this jacket kept me warm during a complete downpour with 25-35mph gust. Felt invincible. While there are other jackets in the lineup that may be superior, this was the best fit all around for camping, hiking, and outdoor work. Additionally the fit overtop of my revised ATOM AR, was a success. Spend the money and be happy.

I have had my beta ar for about a year now I’ve used for about all of my fall winter activities from every day walks in the rain to snowboarding every time it has kept me nice and dry no signs or wear works like new still

Just bought this jacket and used in on a hiking trip near jasper BC. It rained for 3 days straight and this jacket kept me fairly dry, which considering the conditions, is awesome. My only complaint was that the hood felt a bit uncomfortable, I just couldn’t quite since the straps in a fashion that I was happy with

Fits great, very durable. Will last a long time. Great jacket!

Incredibly versatile shell that I've owned for about 4 years. Great for layering, or for taking out for a run or bike ride in the wet. A must-have jacket for anybody who lives an active lifestyle, or for somebody who leaves the house on occasion in a climate like Vancouver.

J’ai cet article depuis déjà 3ans. Il est super et peu être porté dans plusieurs situation. -seul en été par un te la venteux et pluvieux -printemps automne avec un chandail en dessus. - hiver avec une couche intermédiaire de duvet (Étant Donner sa grande polyvalence je l’utilise même comme “Shell” jusqu’à des temperature de -20,-25C Pour le ski alpin ) Un produit dont je me passerai plus.

Great Jacket for wind and rain. I have bought two of these jackets now one for work and one for weekends. Very happy with the quality and materials of this jacket

I have had a previous version of this jacket since 3 years and it is as good now as the day I bought it. Expensive but these jackets are the best and will last years.
