Dissapointed

7 years ago
Have not abused jacket and have taken care of it. I have used less expensive jackets when I know I am going to be tough on them in order to preserve the Beta. So even without full time use seams around the cuffs have become loose. Am sending back for warranty work however its super slow. I have been waiting weeks for instructions after receiving a warranty number. Company seem like most other conglomerates.

Hi there, Thank you for providing your feedback. We stand behind the quality of our products and it's unusual for the seams to give way after minimal use. We are happy to read that you sent your jacket to us for repair.   We are sorry you are disappointed with our warranty process. As each of our products is repaired by hand for quality control, our time frame does take longer than one may expect. We have a very strong warranty policy which means we try to fix as many issues with our products as possible. Due to this, we have many products being sent in to us on a daily basis which, again, increases our time line. We're working hard to get your gear back to you as soon as possible and appreciate your patience. Kindly,

Know what you're buying to avoid complaining

7 years ago
This is intended as an all purpose jacket. However, Archteryx is geared towards alpinism/climbing. It has a drop hem for more coverage in the back and is intended to be shorter in the front incase you want to use it with a climbing harness. It makes sense to know the features and purpose of the jacket you are buying to avoid being disappointed and complaining online about your uninformed purchase. Great jacket if you know what your buying and why!
Q: Activity

Great jacket, long sleeves

7 years ago
The Beta AR is a great product, looks exceptionally durable and has all the features I was looking for in a shell. I purchased this product as my go-to shell for everything from skiing and hiking to walking my dog in the city. My only con is that the sleeves are very long compared to other Large Arc'teryx products I have purchased. I own a Cerium LT and Kyanite jacket, and they both fit perfectly. The Beta AR has room for layers as it is intended, but the sleeves are abnormally long.

Great for everything and even better customer service

7 years ago
I’m a 15 year old boy and wanted the same jacket as my dad forever and finally got it. I use it all the time. Skiing everywhere every week in the season, down pours in Vietnam, cold backpacking trips, and even just a bad weather day playing Soccer’s And going to school. It is great with layer too. The best part was that when I Ripped my jacket from skiing backwards and crashing into a sharp rock on my spine (which rarely happens to most smart people) after a long ER visit we sent them the jacket back and they repaired the whole piece in the back also asking about the colors and any logo changes wanted which was super cool. Basically for the rest of my life I have committed to them and all my life savings with it.

Too short up front

7 years ago
Bought this jacket based on so many positive reviews but very quickly was met with sore disappointment at how short this jacket is up front. I have many mid-layers and all but 2 protrude from the bottom of the front of this jacket .... by less than 1". Seriously!? The front of the BETA AR is cut in a weird way that won't cover mid-layer products at the front of the jacket because it's cut and sewn short. The weirdest part is I tried the same jacket - a different L in store and it seemed longer up front but the jacket was much larger in the armpit area. Who cuts the material before the jackets are sewn!!??? The one I brought home was just right, but was shorter at the zipper. Go figure. Nice looking jacket, would be my new go-to jacket for back-country and city outings, but the high cut front is a real shame and a deal-breaker!!! Set my sights on this jacket after a lot of research and reading - won't be wearing it and can't recommend it either, back it goes and back to the drawing board for me. Arc'teryx folks, if you're reading this - make the front 1" lower and leave the back as it is, add a pocket in the sleeve, make the inside pocket larger and you'd have a SOLID winner. Current (2017/2018) colour combinations are great, BTW.

The Ultimate Do-It-All

7 years ago
As per the title, the Beta AR is truly the ultimate do-it-all shell. While tailoring to different conditions requires the work of multiple layers working as a system, I have used my Beta for everything from backcountry snowboarding to mountain biking. The n40 goretex works and breathes great, and the n80 in key areas definitely helps the durability of the jacket. I have had mine pressed and rubbed against rough rock walls, taken it through thick evergreen brush, and it has even been through one mountain bike crash (luckily surviving). The goretex hold up well and maintains it's abilities as long as you wash the jacket regularly. I try to run a tech wash at least twice a season - in mid season if the jacket is dirty and once at the end to reset for next season's activities. Any mud, dirt, or sweat accumulated on the jacket through heavy use has always come out without issue. As for sizing, I am 5'11", 160lbs, and use a medium. It sits hip length. Because of my slim build, I tend to have a bit of excess jacket in the chest and sleeves, which makes layering not an issue. My only qualm is that the internal stash pocket is a touch small, and does not have an opening for headphone wires. I can not see why this would be, as the internal pocket need not be waterproof. In my opinion, it would be a good feature to add, especially as I often use headphones to make and receive calls while cycling/walking to commute in this jacket. Overall, this is a superb jacket that will handle anything you throw at it well enough. Great as a starting piece from Arc!

The Hype is Real

7 years ago
So, here is my review. After having done many hours of research, I decided to go with the Beta AR. I measure 6 foot 3 inches, 220 lbs, athletic build and a size Large fit perfect. It allowed for layering without feeling constrictive. I live in Montreal and winters here tend to be very unpredictable. If its not the cold that gets you, the wind definitely will. Here are some field tests that I did: All test were done with a cotton base layer, an Atom LT midlayer and the Beta AR on top. 1) At -2 Celcius, with light winds, 40 mins slow paced walk: No heat loss. My core was nice and toasty without ever feeling overheated. Wind did not stand a chance. Drop hood was not used. I could have walked another 3 hours without issues. 2) At -10 Celcius with light/medium winds, 40 mins slow paced walk: Again, no heat loss. Nice and toasty. No wind penetration. Drop hood was not used. I felt comfortable to continue walking longer if needed. 3) At -13 Celcius with medium to heavy winds, 15 mins slow paced walk: Minor heat loss. I found myself requiring to move just a bit more so that my core temp would go up and I would feel comfortable (meaning that I went from a slow lazy Sunday swagger to a New York I am 5 minutes late to my first job brisk walk). This time, I used the drop hood, and let me tell you, this thing is FANTASTIC. It is very highly adjustable, which I loved. Wind stood no chance! With my normal winter coats, winds like this would make me want to seek shelter after only being exposed to it for a minute because it would instantly rob me of heat. With the Beta AR on I felt invincible. Granted you need to move just a bit more to get your core heated, but still, this was something else ! Overall, the jacket performed amazingly well. If I had a thicker mid layer (the Atom AR for example) I believe no heat loss would have occurred. Taking advantage of these heavy winds, I decided to fill up a full tank of gas. As I stood there for 4 mins, pumping gas into my car, the winds were howling all around me. I glanced over to the other drivers who also happened to be filling up their tanks and they were in AGONY because of the biting frost hitting their non windproof jackets. I could not believe it. I had no issues. Arc'teryx beat Mother nature. It was an incredible experience ! TL;DR: Buy it, it is worth it.

Solid Jacket

7 years ago
3 years with the Beta AR now, it replaced a Arc'teryx paclite shell from 8/10 years ago, Arc'teryx customer service is amazing. I had an issue with the old paclite jacket and was able to upgrade to the Beta AR by paying only the difference between the two. Use the Beta for everything from skiing in NM, fly fishing on the gulf coast, commercial landscape work etc. It's a wonderful piece of gear, the "AR" in my case truly means "all around". It's the go to, everything everyday shell and takes a beating. Broke a couple teeth off the main zipper last summer and Arc'teryx fixed/replaced the zipper but also repaired a couple little tears in one of the arms that I did not even mention to them, again excellent customer service!

Seams and seals are weak

7 years ago
After having had 3 outdoor jackets (from TNF, Patagonia and Berghaus) in the past which all lasted 10+ years. I decided to step up in price a little and buy an BETA AR. I'm sad to say that it turned out to be a great disappointment. After about 1,5 years the loop for hanging up the jacket came off. Soon after that a number of taped seals started to come off which I glued back with seamgrip. After about 2,5-3 years in the seams around both cuffs and the seems holding elastic cord at the bottom of jacket started coming loose. Now after 3,5 years, the only issue I don't directly fault Arc'teryx for, the zipper has died. I would not recommend this jacket to anyone.

Versatile sans compromis

On voit que ces un produit qui a vraiment été travailler et penser de façon complète. A mon opinion le produit le mieux pensé de toute la gamme arc'teryx.

Ma veste #1

7 years ago
Depuis que j'ai fait l'acquisition de cette Beta AR, c'est tout simplement la veste que je porte le plus. Elle est idéale pour mon profil de citadin qui fait beaucoup de sport, notamment du vélo. La présence du gore-tex pro et des larges aérations latérales permet de porter la veste toutes les saisons. Elle se fait oublier dans la chaleur du métro tout en arrêtant le vent et la pluie quand on sort en surface. C'est même incroyable de porter cette veste à même la peau, par-dessus un t-shirt par exemple. La sensation de respirabilité est instantanée pour qui n'a jamais porté du GT pro. De plus, contrairement à d'autres modèles, la Beta AR propose un revêtement en GT pro sur l'ensemble de la veste. Son design est suffisamment léché pour qu'on la porte par-dessus une veste, pour garder une tenue casual chic - suppose d'acheter la veste dans des tons froids et des notes qui ne sont pas fluos. La finition Arc'Teryx est tout bonnement bluffante : qu'il s'agisse des coutures étanches thermosoudées, ou encore des points de jonction entre les panneaux. Le patron de la veste est vraiment bien réalisé : l'agencement de la pièce accompagne l'amplitude des mouvements du corps dans des situations particulières comme le vélo, l'escalade ou encore la randonnée. La capuche, réglable de plusieurs manières différentes, permet une protection efficace contre la pluie. Concernant l'étanchéité, j'ai pu essayer la veste sous une tempête tropicale pendant plusieurs heures, et je suis resté au sec même si la veste a fini trempée. Pour les ondées urbaines des pays tempérés comme la France, c'est juste l'idéal. Il est vrai que les zip d'aération latérale ne sont pas faciles à ouvrir la première fois, mais c'est un coup à prendre. Pour ma part, j'arrive à les ouvrir / fermer entièrement sans enlever la veste, maintenant que j'ai compris comment ça marchait. Enfin, si la veste n'est pas isolée, ce qui est un bon point pour pouvoir la porter en mi-saison et en été, il suffit de porter suffisamment de couches en dessous, notamment un cardigan grosse maille en laine, afin de pouvoir s'en satisfaire comme manteau d'hiver à des latitudes comme celles de la France. Le seul point négatif que je lui trouve concerne la méthode de nettoyage qui est relativement pointue : lavage normal à 30 degrés puis application du produit spécifique vendu par Arc Teryx avant un tour au sèche linge.

Looks Like A Winner!

7 years ago
I purchase this jacket to replace my 1997 Marmot Mountain Lightweight Jacket that was simply getting old. So far this jacket has proven itself worth the investment. It provides excellent protection from the elements, has a good hood design, and is much lighter that my previous jacket. I am currently living and trekking in Nepal and I look forward to putting this jacket through it's paces for the next few years. My only gripe thus far is the lack of elastic in the wrist cuffs. The jacket requires loosening the velcro straps when putting it on or taking it off and I wonder how long the velcro will last. This is a minor detail and may not be an issue if the velcro holds out.
Q: Activity
A: Trekking, Walking, Travel
Proslightweight, great fit, excellent construction, good color choices
Conslacks elastic in the sleeve cuffs/must undo velcro

Amazing Shell

7 years ago
I live in northern Canada for most of the year and I recently bought my Beta AR for its versatility. It has easily out-performed all of my previous shell jackets and I could not be happier with my purchase. It really cuts the biting wind and repels all kinds of nasty weather. Rain just beads off and it always keeps me dry and comfortable. As an outer shell over a down jacket it has kept me warm and cozy in below freezing temperatures. I love the cut and shape of the jacket, and the fabric is very strong. One critique is that when wearing my backpack, the front pocket zipper dongles sit directly under my shoulder and sternum straps. It can be slightly awkward to access the pockets, however, this is only a minor nuisance and does not happen with my friend's Beta AR and backpack. Nonetheless, I absolutely love my Beta AR jacket, and Arc'teryx customer service is amazing.

Good Jacket

7 years ago
I'm a 6'3, 230 lb broad shouldered ex athlete (have an XL, generally a XXL in most other jacket/sweatshirts) and I like the length of the jacket compared to other Patagonia shells I had that stopped short near the waistline/butt. It has got good articulated shoulders and hood that allow mobility while casting a fly/rowing drift boat. I work in the field for construction services and the climbing helmet specific hood also fits nicely over a hard hat! I wash it on average once a month using Nikwax GORE-TEX specific wash and spray down with Nikwax DWR refresher and that's huge - if you want an expensive piece of equipment to last you've got to take care of it. Layer w/ a nano-air (patagonia) or atom series (arcteryx) and cotton/merino long sleeve for those November WY trout or winter steelhead fishing expeditions in MI and you're set!!! Now go do something fun.

The best shell I’ve ever owned

7 years ago
From the first time I put the jacket on I knew it would be a great jacket. It fits perfectly. I got it big enough to put a heavy sweater or light weight down jacket under it. But it isn’t too big when I wear it over a T-Shirt. I love it.

It's the Bombdiggity!

This is one great Jacket! Great fit, not too big, not too snug and I'm 5'11 180Lbs. Ample freedom of movement and with a base layers and unabashedly fends off whatever the elements throw at you. I usually wear a Ghost whisperer thin down jacket under it on most ski days and no matter how low the temp or wind speed, I'm always at the right temperature. This is the one jacket that goes everywhere with me! I'm thinking seriously about getting one for my wife this Christmas, what's the old saying? "If you buy quality, you only cry once!"

Long history

7 years ago
My experience with Arcteryx goes all the way back to December 2000, when I took a chance on a hitherto unknown brand and pulled the trigger on an unusually short Kappa SP shell (which is still very much in use - even the waterproofing is still going strong). After just a few times out with this marvel of textile engineering, I never even considered looking at any other brands. Since then, I've added a couple Beta ARs and a Beta FL to the list, wearing the first AR down from years of heavy use (still wearable, just not as waterproof) and the current AR and FL still serving me well. The fit of the AR is just about as perfect as a jacket can be - there's enough room to layer properly without feeling squeezed, but it can also be worn straight up without feeling like you're wearing a tarp. The sleeves will not hike up when raising your arms and the hem length provides constant coverage no matter how far you bend down. Even the hood works like a hood should, and this coming from an avowed anti-hood-wearer (childhood thing - bad hoody from mom). It sits properly and snugly on your head and follows its movements easily, even without a helmet. Beyond this, it's a relatively low-profile jacket, without a lot of extra frills - just the way a jacket should be. It has enough pockets to serve that purpose, but is otherwise economical in materials and weight. The material itself is initially a bit crinkly, but that soon disappears with use. Naturally, the waterproofing and breathability are spot on. All in all, you won't go wrong with this one.
