Product description
Arc'teryx designed the Beta Men's Beta AR Jacket as a backcountry workhorse for alpinists who like to take a beating from the elements without sacrificing performance. This jacket features GORE-TEX Pro Shell three-layer construction, with the proprietary, tightly-woven N40p-X shell fabric that includes a DWR treatment to slough off rainfall while you romp up 14ers or get caught in a snowstorm at the top. The Beta AR is reinforced in hard-wear areas like the shoulders and armswith N80p-X nylon so it will handle pack straps and ice encounters season after season.Fully taped low-bulk seams and WaterTight zippers will block out any moisture you encounter. When it starts puking, take shelter under the helmet-compatible DropHood with its draft-blocking separate collar, and stuff your hands in the two hand pockets, which are placed high so they play well with hip-belts and harnesses. Underarm zip vents let you cool off without sacrificing any protection from the weather. The storm will pass (it always does) and you will reign supreme on the mountain top.

This is what other customers say:
Always loved Arc'teryx products - and this is a fantastic hardshell jacket. You pay more but I suspect I'll still be wearing this in a decade's time. The fit is terrific and venting really works. It'll keep you dry and in comfort.

Really robust jacket, but quite lightweight. Bombproof! Layers well with same size Arcteryx atom AR and LT. No sign of wear after 18 months of use for hill walking in all weathers.
