Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Beta Jacket

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.

No worries about getting soaked in the rain during rainy hikes. My Beta jacket is lightweight and very comfortable to use.

It's a pretty cool jacket, however I'm 5'10 and ordered a large jacket. It's a little baggy on me but that's ok! I would suggest looking up size measurements before making the same mistake.

Best goretex I've had the pleasure of using. Amazing how it wicks off water and how light weight it is. Arcteryx is simply the very best

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.

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 excellentwell-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 menespecially older mentend 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.

I really wanted to love this jacket but unfortunately it doesn't fit. Because it's designed to be a but more fitted that mean if you're on the heavier side with more hips then it simply can't zip up. Whenever I sized up it just felt like only the arms were getting longer. It would be great if the Beta was offered in a fit that was more inclusive to different body types.

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!!

No pit zips for any gortex jacket is just crazy.you state it's for hiking well yes we get warm AND I want to use this for warm ski days as my 5 yr old Sabre which I love is too bulky for warm ski dayscome on Arc'teryx all your physical activity jackets MUST have pit zips ..no I dont want the bulky helmet comparable Beta LT Waaaay too many choices with waaay too many exact uses..we all want this jacket for warmer days or all around use (& rain jacket)that has a low profile hood NOT those big bulky flappy helmet compatible ones sorry but I'm frustrated S a long time Arc customer things seems to change too much also no more "short" Sabre ski pants mine are wearing out & need new ones & you don't have them anymore Ugh

Waterproofing, durability, fit, look, and eve feel

I like Arcteryx, and Cerium SV Hoody down jacket s the best down jacket I ever had.Also Arcteryx parka..But sizes is really somethimes big issue , especially of shell jacket , is the more complicated...They are meant to be worn on top of down jacket and if you try to have directly on your hoodie than it can looked that they are little oversize.I'am 180cm and size M looks like its little bit bigger...but not..The quality is top top.. waterproofing one of the best..

The jacket is great, the best quality and fit well

Very solid coat - high quality and very durable overall

I've worn a bunch of Arc'teryx jackets and hoodies, but this is my first Beta. It's super light just like I expected, and when I tried it in the rain, it really kept the water out. I love it, especially that crinkly sound :)

Fantastic rain shell that gets better every time I wear it - whenever I'm in weather with this jacket I realize how effectively designed and crafted it is. I sized up to 3XL for layering for winter trips and it's been totally bomb proof for high output river restoration work, stationary moments in wind and rain, and tossing on whenever a squall rolls through. Great hip pockets with lots of room, breathes perfectly, and the hood and extended zip up neck keep out the elements. Stoked on my purchase after six months of ownership - confident this will stand the test of time.

Fits great, insanely waterproof, worth every penny!

I'm totally satisfied with my purchase and love your company! Great product!

I took this skiing on Mt. Bachelor. Great for warm spring skiing weather . Light, breathable, and easy to pack . The color is true to the photos; even richer. I'm considering the alpha jacket in the same color for those colder or snowy days on the slope.

Great jacket - worth every penny and.i love the design -

I love the quality of these garments, i bought this new jacket and have sent you my 13+ jacket back for new zipper cant wait to have my old jacket back again and will contimue to recomend your products

Great fit, love the colour! Cant wait to put it to the test this winter!

Unusual colour which I appreciate. I have had a Beta for 15 years and so far this doesn't disappoint.

Bought this jacket before a skort trip to Montreal. Great weather coverage and was a prefect layer. Very happy with the purchase.

It's limited edition , so fashion ! I use it for traveling

Awesome jacket, I use so much, super comfortable and reliable. Definitely recommend
