Arc'teryx

Beta Jacket

Women's

The Bate has been my go to storm jacket for all seasons and it's totally up to the task. I also looks great for apres and around town! So far it's held up well and I hope to get many years out of it. Fit is great for skiing, climbing and hiking. Stays tucked in below the harness well. Great all around jacket.

I love everything about this jacket, especially the colour which is what drew me to it! It's light and small enough to pack into my hiking daypack, but still feels durable and keeps me dry in heavy rain. Its very comfortable, meaning its now my go to jacket to wear whether I'm hiking or just commuting to work. The cinch waist allows me to add more shape to the jacket and keep any cold air out. One thing to note, I have a previous season Beta Jacket, and the fit feels different. This model feels a little longer and a thicker outer fabric, which personally I prefer!

Have been using my new ePE version of the Beta Jacket for a while now, and it has proven to be superb in the rain, especially living in the PNWt. The wind resistance is excellent, making it a reliable year-round daily shell. I appreciate the relaxed fit; although I'm slim, I wear a medium to allow for layering during the colder seasons. It pairs perfectly with an Atom or Proton. Highly recommend this jacket for anyone needing a versatile and dependable outer layer!

It is suitable for daily use and can adapt to simple outdoor activities because it does not have pit zippers

My go-to lightweight hiking and MTB shell jacket. Great fit with longer coverage that covers your butt, the cinches for the waist and hood are awesome to keep everything from moving around too much. It packs down small into a Norvan running vest or MTB hip pack. I am generally get a women's medium in outerwear from Arc'teryx, but ended up going with a large this time and I love the long fit and relaxed look with space to layer with a puffy. Sizing up, this jacket covers halfway down my thigh and is easy to move in. I've used this for pouring rain hikes and it works as expected for a hard shell from Arc'teryx: protective of outside wet, breathable enough for high output.
