Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's
Love it...a lot.
By Andrew Swindle
Ranked #1044 - Men's Technical Shells
July 9, 2009
I've put about 20 months on this jacket thus far. It has excelled in the wettest of conditions and withstood abrasion like a champ. The DWR treatment is still alive and kickin' keeping me dry. This is a great heavy duty rain jacket or an excellent light weight shell for snow filled pursuits. The Gore-Tex Pro Shell is super tough. I recommend this for a good all round bomber shell. For those looking for a lighter version of this jacket for rain protection try the Beta SL Jacket. Same jacket made with lighter Gore-Tex that is ultra packable and still provide wetness protection.
