Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Women's

Item #ARC0489 | 115 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Rockin Beta!

By Ranked #330 - Women's Jackets February 21, 2008

Primary use: Motorcycle ride to work in rain/sleet. Secondary use: snowboarding. Strengths: Articulated elbows offer great fit in any position. Water-sealed seams are legitimate even in a total down pour you will remain dry as a bone. Materials look and feel quality and reinforcements are positioned appropriately. Colors are vibrant! Weaknesses: Fit could be slimmer, but once you've got some warm layers under this shell you almost need the room. Helmet compatible hood is bulky and only useful on rare occasions. Overall: The right choice if you need absolute dryness and quality fabrics/zippers that will last.
