Men's Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket
The Men's Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket delivers premium hardshell protection with a thoughtful design that balances durability and weight. This jacket features GORE-TEX PRO ePE waterproof technology in a hybrid construction that places reinforced fabric exactly where you need it most.
With a regular fit, pit zippers and Arc'teryx's signature DropHood system, the Beta AR offers professional-grade weather protection built to last season after season.
Hybrid Hardshell Protection Without the Extra Bulk
Arc'teryx builds the Beta AR with two different weights of GORE-TEX PRO ePE fabric strategically placed throughout the jacket.
Ultra-durable 100-denier GORE-TEX PRO ePE reinforces the yoke and upper arms — the areas where pack straps and gear cause the most wear. The body uses lighter 80-denier GORE-TEX PRO ePE to cut weight and reduce bulk.
Both fabrics are waterproof and windproof, while still providing complete breathable protection. This hybrid fabric construction means you get maximum durability in high-wear zones without carrying extra ounces everywhere else.
Packed With Features
The Beta AR comes loaded with functional details that serious winter enthusiasts appreciate:
- DropHood system: Arc'teryx's innovative design separates the hood from the collar, allowing greater neck rotation and a more comfortable fit, whether or not you're wearing a helmet.
- Pit zippers: Full-length underarm zippers provide quick ventilation control.
- Articulated patterning: Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders allow unrestricted arm movement and a comfortable range of motion.
- Two zippered hand pockets: Positioned above the waist so you can access them while wearing a pack or climbing harness.
- Internal zippered chest pocket: Secure storage for essentials like your phone, keys or wallet.
- RECCO reflector: Built-in reflector technology helps search and rescue teams locate you in emergencies.
- Adjustable hem drawcord: Customizes the fit and seals out drafts at the waist.
GORE-TEX for Flexible Coverage
The Beta AR uses GORE-TEX PRO ePE, a three-layer membrane that's completely waterproof, highly breathable and free from intentionally added PFAS chemicals. This updated membrane technology is both thinner and stronger than previous GORE-TEX versions, offering exceptional tear resistance and long-term durability.
The C0 DWR (durable water repellent) finish on the face fabric causes water to bead up and roll off the surface. At 460 grams in size medium, the jacket weighs about 16 ounces and packs down efficiently. The regular fit provides room for layering fleece or synthetic insulation underneath when temperatures drop.
