Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Women's

This jacket seriously is the only shell you will ever need. I would know living in the rainy rainy Pac NW. It stops wind in its tracks and can take buckets and buckets of water all day while you stay perfectly dry inside. It is also pretty breathable for a shell--it does not have the inner condensation problems of gore-tex paclite for instance. To top off the amazing technical performance, the jacket looks like a million bucks and the fit is spot on. Couldn't ask for more. Sizing wise, I have the medium and am 5'10" 145lbs with room for layers underneath.
