I have a fushia colored Beta AR. It was the best $450 bucks I ever spent it has saved my ass in rain storms. I have been comfy and warm during many 50 & 100 mile races where it was cold and wet. It is light weight for a Gortex. I always carry it as my main jacket in the Sierras since you never know when a storm will hit. Love it!!! The fit is awesome and the pit zips are great if you get to warm just open those babies up ;-)))
