Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's
Too short and baggy
By Matt
Ranked #2024 - Men's Technical Shells
January 29, 2009
I really tried to like this jacket but no. I'm 5'11" and size medium was perfect for me (sleeves, shoulders and chest were not too long, too loose or too tight, these were perfect). But jacket is just cut too short from the front. This is the reason I'm selling this and getting something else... haven't decided yet.
PLUS:
-light
-waterproof as Pro Shell should be.
-quality product
CONS:
-front is cut too short. It does not cover my belt buckle so all the shirts stick out and cold air comes in.
-baggy around belly area. If you have a large gut then this is good but remember the first con.
-expensive
Before you buy you should try it on and really pay attention to the front is cut.
