Great all-rounder shell

6 days ago
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!

Stylish, Waterproof, and Ready for Anything

20 days ago
This Jacket is an excellent hardshell for the city and for light hikes. The fit is form-fitting but still leaves enough room for a base layer and a Proton underneath without feeling tight. It is very fashionable and looks great in almost any setting. The only drawback is the sound of the fabric, which can be a bit loud at first, but you get used to it. I do miss having pit zips and might pick up the AR version or a lighter model in the future. Aside from that, this jacket is close to perfect for what it is meant to do.

No pit zips !!

a month ago
Arcteryx makes everything for outdoor use and to not have pit zips in virtually every active jacket is perplexing…….i guess having gortex, low profile hood AND pitzips is too much to ask for a high end outdoor clothing mfr -when I guarantee that 100% of their customers want it…….confounding ….if you make it I’ll buy it right away!!

Customer Service
Hello there, thank you for your feedback on the Beta Jacket. Among the Beta series, the Beta Jacket is the only one that does not include pit zippers, which can be a key feature for breathability and temperature regulation during high-output activity. If pit zips are essential for your outdoor pursuits, we recommend checking out the Beta SL or Beta AR. Both are equipped with underarm ventilation and designed for technical performance, combining GORE-TEX protection with thoughtful feature sets. Thanks again for the feedback, it helps us continue to refine our designs.

great rainjacket

a month ago
Went for an overnight backcountry hike when it wasn't supposed to rain and i woke up in a downpour. This jacket is awesome, it fits me very well, its breathable and waterproof. I had read several reviews prior to buying it and the only drawback was that it was expensive, however, it is well worth the price I paid for it. I highly recommend it.

Poor feature

2 months ago
Bought this jacket last November and have been wearing in light showers (maybe wore it 5-6 times)I wore it a coupe of days ago during a heavy shower and the jacket completely absorbed every drop of rain. With this I bought the recommended gortex cleaner and DWR, followed all the steps and nothing. Trying repeating the steps again and the jacket absorbs even more water. Would not recommend this jacket for the price point only if you want to take nice pictures in it

Hi there. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Beta Jacket. We're sorry to hear it's not performing as expected in wet conditions. The Beta Jacket features a GORE-TEX ePE membrane, which is highly breathable and waterproof, but like all GORE-TEX garments, it does rely on regular maintenance of the DWR finish for optimal performance. We do, however, recommend filling out a Product Service Request Form so our team can take a closer look and help find a resolution.

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.
