I bought this jacket originally for hiking over the summer incase of storms. However I have found it so practical I use it pretty much whenever it rains. It is lightweight, yet Gore-Tex pro. It has a big enough hood to have a helmet on underneath and I preferred it to the standard Beta AR as I like the hood more. The pit zips are also great for when you get too hot, yet want to keep dry. I have also used this jacket for Skiing and found the Gore-Tex pro to work perfectly - very water repellent. I paired it with a proton heavyweight to ski in for anyone wondering.

This jacket is bomb-proof and I would highly recommend it for anyone hard on their gear or pursuing alpine objectives where you need the absolute best. This jacket is a tool to be utilized, and that's the best way to think about it. It's sized larger--so you can layer effectively. The hood is sized to fit a helmet--you'll need to cinch it down (a lot) if you're going without one. The material is 100% bomb proof--this means it's heavier, burlier, "louder" and designed to withstand all you could throw at it in the mountains. You need to ask yourself what you're planning on doing with this jacket. If it's just so you can have a nice rain shell, look at the other Beta jackets ArcTeryx offers. This is a jacket built to serve a serious purpose--not a jack-of-all-trades ... MoreThis jacket is bomb-proof and I would highly recommend it for anyone hard on their gear or pursuing alpine objectives where you need the absolute best.

I am 5'9" on a good day, and 170 lbs. athletic build. I bought a medium. I will say that if I was buying this for fashion over function I would have gone with a Small, and would probably had plenty of room. I don't look /feel great in things that are even slightly big on me. but I bought this with the intention of layering it. I bought a medium, and with no layers underneath, it does feel big on me. My wife says the length and cut are perfect. I havent had a lot of time in the extremes with it yet. Just some rain and wind, but I look forward to using this for many adventures. it is a top notch jacket.

I wish this jacket would work. Its the fit that doesn't work. I love the brand, enjoy the quality and have had many in the past. I wish there was a fit for the male in his 50's that isn't a 34 inch waist or less. I find most if not all shell jackets are too narrow in the mid section. I get it if the brand is making garmets for those who have that "Fit" look and are narrow waisted. I'm just not that body type. I have the Rush pants from years back and in a large the waist and hips are too narrow. Again an XL wont work as they're too big. Oh well will have to try another brand .
I've had this since September and it's been my favourite jacket so far. Having had a Beta SL hybrid in the past and going to this has been an amazing transition. First real use of the gore-tex pro was a rainstorm when traveling to Montreal and it's saved me ever since on bike rides in Vancouver to work.I've been waiting for this to come out as I'm not a fan of the fit and feel of the drop hood's collar on the classic Beta AR. I got the heritage colour to maintain visibility on bike rides, hikes and snowboarding for the season. But all the colours rock and heavily recommend if you're looking for that gore-tex pro 3 layer piece to round out your kit.
This jacket was purchased with the intent to be used for hiking and skiing. After less than 2 weeks use, (4 - 5 days of use) there were abrasion tears along the bottom of the jacket. I suspect a backpack or a pair of skis rubbed against the bottom string cinch of the jacket. Unfortunately, Arcteryx wouldn’t warranty, as they considered this wear and in the case of tear, literally tear. Although extremely disappointed, I can understand the reasoning. However, I do find that this is odd for a product which is described exactly as how it was used, wearing a backpack for a hike, or carrying skis to go skiing. I was more shocked as the beta AR is described, as being great for all round purposes, which it’s being used in such a manner, and also the jacket is sold as made ... MoreThis jacket was purchased with the intent to be used for hiking and skiing.

I was more shocked as the beta AR is described, as being great for all round purposes, which it’s being used in such a manner, and also the jacket is sold as made with goretex pro “most durable” material. So this is something to take note of if you’re looking to purchase this product. In any case, I wasn’t looking for a warranty, as I love the jacket, but was more seeing if there was a way to patch or reinforce the area, even if I had to pay for it. So I was surprised when the only thing they would offer was tape, which was unexpected as I have had various other previous shells repaired via patching by Arc’teryx. Apparently there is a new policy where they will no longer re patch shells and only offer tape? However, even more disheartening was how quick they were to send me off to a local repair shop. This leads me to question how much faith they currently put in their own products, and how much they will actually repair a product. If there is already a third-party ready to repair, I unfortunately do not sense a great future for the repairability of shell jackets by Arc’teryx going forward. It seems like the only repair they are willing to offer for a shell jacket is tenacious tape. I’ve had amazing service with arcteryx the past couple of years, having owned a Beta LT, an alpha LT, and many other shells. It seems the company has changed substantially, and the way they stand behind the product has also changed. If you’re looking for a great looking shell jacket to wear around town in the rain, this could be it. It feels much more sturdy than the regular beta. The zipper feels great, (I found the current regular beta jacket zippers cheap feeling), and the fit is amazing. It is also great for layering, as long as you don’t layer with hoods. However, if you are contemplating doing even the slightest bit of outdoor activity, which requires wearing a backpack, or carrying anything, I would strongly advise you to avoid this jacket. It’s simply not durable, and you will end up in my position where I am going to have to repair a 2 week old jacket myself. You can look into maybe a used Beta SV, which I understand is made with tougher material. Let’s hope my case was just a bad experience, but I am now looking to support other companies, which stand behind the product, and are willing to do proper repairs, even if it is for a price. I hope this is just a one off bad experience as I love the dead bird, but I have to say, the overall experience has left me with little confidence.
Purchased the beta AR stormhood as well as the beta lightweight. I ended up returning the AR because of the fit. I think this piece is probably better for layering and more harsh conditions but it was more of a boxy fit being the regular fit and I really liked the fit of the beta lightweight. The lightweight was a little more slim and looked like it was tailored to my body.I definitely think this model is better than the drop hood version and I think for the right person this jacket would work great but it wasn’t for me.Ended up returning the AR and keeping the lightweight
Bought the Beta AR about 8 months ago believing that the GoreTex Pro offers superior performance and reliability. I only used the jacket a few times and I recently noticed a small hole in the fabric. I've contacted Arc'teryx support and was told that the issue is not covered under the warranty and cannot be resolved. The only thing they offered to do was to send me a piece of tape so I can patch it myself. I own 8 different GoreTex jackets and many other products from Arc'teryx. I've been a loyal customer for years, but this experience has severely damaged my trust in the company and their products. More likely than not I am not going to buy this brand again. They sell the promise of high quality products that are supposed to last a lifetime, instead they didn't ... MoreBought the Beta AR about 8 months ago believing that the GoreTex Pro offers superior performance and reliability.

They sell the promise of high quality products that are supposed to last a lifetime, instead they didn't last one year of very light usage (mostly used for commuting to work. I haven't even used in a hike or skiing yet). Nothing that I have used the jacket for could explain the how the hole was created. To top it all off, support has been slow and unresponsive. I would expect that Arc'teryx would at least offer to do the patching themselves using materials and colour that matches the original construction of the jacket. Not recommended.
I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas as he needed a multi-purpose waterproof jacket. He had a minor fall while skiing but something happened and the pressure of his phone on the material from inside the pocket caused it to split/ rip. The jacket had only been worn a handful of times at this point but apparently all Arcteryx can do is send us a patch (and make rude/condescending/misogynistic comments and accusations over the phone). The rip falls under general wear and tear and can only be deemed a manufacturing issue if it is at the seam (isn't the material manufactured? can material not be faulty?). After spending almost 1000$ on a jacket my boyfriend expected to have for a long time, I am disappointed in the quality and would highly advise people do not ... MoreI bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas as he needed a multi-purpose waterproof jacket.

I love this jacket, and I will not travel anywhere without it! I've used this jacket for a really wide range of activities. While I initially bought it for skiing as a shell (which it works perfectly for), but I wanted a versatile jacket I could use for any activity.I wore it every day while backpacking in Northern Sweden, providing protection during full days of rain, but it also was incredibly useful as a breathable barrier during sunny days to keep mosquitoes from biting. It works well as a rain jacket in warm weather, and it has served me really well in tropical countries from Sub-saharan Africa to Southeast Asia.
