I'm trying to chose between this jacket and the arctyrex beta AR. Besides price any reasons why I should get the MH instead of the Arctyrex.

Martin. I am a little biased to say the least but I would purchase an Exposure based on the fabric that we use in construction of the jacket called DryQ Elite. Now, Arcteryx makes gorgeous product but the performance is pretty standard. The Exposure II is built using our DryQ Elite fabric which is extremely waterproof (40K), extremely breathable (35K), and AIR PERMEABLE (.05 CFM) This air permeable performance allows for "instant on" breathability and a level of performance not experienced in hardshells before Fall '11. I hope this info helps and check out the video on DryQ Elite that is embedded on this page! Cheers!
