The Arc'teryx Beta AR (as well as all Arc'teryx Gore Pro-Shell) is made with 3-layer construction- to clarify- any Pro-Shell piece only uses one layer of Gore-Tex; the other layers are the face fabric and woven backer. 2-layer construction does away with the woven backer, and typically uses a hung nylon or mesh liner. Arc'teryx uses 3-layer construction exclusively because it is typically more durable, less bulky and easier to layer. Additionally, the backer won't soak up excess moisture like a liner can.
