Description of Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Women's:
Lightweight yet durable, the Women's Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket is a must have for any weight-conscious outdoor athlete who's hard on her gear. Sporting Arc'teryx's innovative features like micro-toleranced Tiny Gore taped seams, WaterTight zippers, molded zipper garages and signature anatomical fit, the Beta AR Jacket is a powerful addition to any backcountry kit. Lightweight 3-ply Gore-Tex in the body is backed up by heavier face fabric at crucial abrasion points, while no-lift underarm gussets keep it from riding up whether you're reaching overhead for a pick placement or pulling stuff off the roof rack. A helmet-friendly drop hood lets you use the Beta AR Jacket with a brain bucket in windy, wet conditions.
*Available for US shipment only.
Bottom Line: The Arc'teryx Beta AR jacket is for fast and light outdoor athletes who still like it rough.
I love this jacket for mountaineering, skiing and snow shoeing in wet Cascade mountain conditions. Just bought second one, bright red for better visibility in back country. I agree with previous reviewer, fit, features and materials are excellent!
very happy so far. Beta AR fits very well, looks good, feels good. I am pretty tall (5'10") and the arms are long enough in the arms - very nice. I get loads of compliments every time I wear it! I also have the stingray, and the beta ar is not nearly as heavy or stiff, but is still very comfortable and water/wind proof.
