Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket

I have few Arc'teryx jackets in my closet but the beta AR is the hardshell you must have.

I just renewed my Arc'teryx Beta AR after having one for the last 10 years. This is my go to shell jacket for winter skiing, hiking and also motorcycling. This reliable, resistant, waterproof and windproof jacket is the best on the market.

I mainly use this for getting around the city on foot and on bike. Pairs really well with a light down layer for temperatures from 0C to 10C. I used this as my shell when climbing Mount Fuji in the offseason/winter and it held up perfectly.

I have bought the Beta AR a couple years ago and the quality of the jacket has never failed me. The weather protection it provides and the fitting has been amazing and I would purchase another one in the future.

The one and only jacket I can trust to do the job every single time. A timeless piece that is versatile but light. A must have for my adventures.

I bought this jacket two weeks ago and the fit was phenomenal! I have a lean fit and this jacket was excellently articulated to my body type! Best jacket for all-round adventures!

This jacket I use year round. City to mountain. I think it is the best shell jacket's Arcteryx sells if you live in a cold-warm climate and plan to use the jacket for everything from running errands and city walking to snowboarding and going for a hike. The thicker material is much better for below zero climates. If you live in a place that doesn't get cold. The Beta LT might be a better jacket.

I've been nothing but impressed with this shells performance. The perfect mid range shell that performs in the back country but also just on the day to day stuff. Pairing this with an atom is the best combo for staying warm and dry and still feeling like you're wearing a light jacket.

Purchased in store after trying various models. I personally really like the collar in comparison to the storm hood. Will be a standard item in my winter wardrobe for years to come.

The coat is everything I expected for the price. The quality to the comfort.

I bought a beta ar jacket about 2 months ago and I love it! It's perfect for anything from walking around town or backpacking with friends. Also it works very well with the Atom Lt jacket for layering. The jacket is very light but durable. Would 100% recommend this product to anyone!

Got this jacket a few months ago and I can say this jacket is a beast of a jacket. I own a lot of jackets, from marmot, or, Patagonia, and Arcteryx. I keep finding myself go for this jacket every time. It's durable, sleek, and of course water resistant. You probably will not ever have to buy another jacket. I know they can be pricey but they hold their value and will last a long time. They are also backed by and Incredible warranty.

Expensive but very much worth the money looks smart and practical

Love the revised fit, extra room allows for more effective layering which really extends the seasonal use I can get out of it and general versatility. With a good insulating layer, this jacket can take you pretty far into a Canadian winter.

Bought this 4 years ago after a few years of thinking and using different jacket for all season. Been wearing this exclusively, 365 days a years since I bought it. Clean enough for the city and perfect for the mountain or pouring rain. -30 c still perfect with appropriate layers.

I like almost everything about the design - the collar, the fit, the weight. I liked it so much I bought two. Compared to the Rush, which I wear for skiing, this is a much better fit even for layering in winter

This is one of the first Arc pieces I got. The quality of the shell is unmatched. Wind proof, water proof, taped seams, perfect pocket placement, and I like the collar.

All sorts of activities. Panning, dog walking, fly fishing and lots more.

I just got this Jacket to replace a torn Patagonia Jacket. Technically speaking this is the Cat's Meow. I ONLY use this to Ski in. But.... This Jacket is way too short. Needs to be longer..

The jacket is very comfortable, quiet and very light. No matter how heavy the rain or snow is, it keeps you completely dry. It is also completely windproof. The collar provides additional protection when you don't need the hood.

It feels lighter than other Goretex Pro Arc'teryx jackets. It does not have a ski pass pocket. It does have Recco. But I have had the jacket for less than a month and I am still getting used to it. I expect it to perform as intended but probably won't have enough information for a valid review. I would suggest, a 1 month, 6 month and 11 month review process.

Stunning colour and does a great job keeping you dry

Just hit the slopes with this for the first time today. Felt great! By far my favorite jacket Ive worn thus far. Great wind proof capability and of course, very waterproof. Got a lil warm at one point and even had to shed some base layers thanks to this jacket. 10/10

This is a heavy-duty, well-built hardshell. I use this jacket when I know conditions are going to be epic and really wet.

Use during the spring and fall when weather is not so intense. Works well also on colder summer days because of the vents under the arms. On feature I dislike is the hood that is designed for a helmet. Hood ids way to big using otherwise. Would be nice when purchasing the coat to have an option of a standard hood. Love the smooth operating zippers. Not sharp edges like the standards zippers of other clothing! All around excellent product. (This is my 3rd coat!!)
