The Beta Arc’teryx Jacket is a breathable, GORE-TEX shell designed to perform in a wide variety of conditions. From walking the dog on a rainy day to waiting out a squall in the mountains, this shell can handle it all.
Constructed with GORE-TEX and a GORE C-KNIT™ backer, the Beta Jacket is not only water and windproof but has a softer and quieter feel than that of other GORE-TEX fabrics, making it ideal for everyday use. The 3-layer GORE-TEX is designed to be durable as well as breathable, making the shell a good candidate for ski and hiking adventures all around the world.
By eliminating some of the bells and whistles, the designers at Arc’teryx have created a product that is lightweight, more affordable, and performs well in a diverse range of environments. Patterned to fit closer to the body, the Beta Arc’teryx Jacket can be worn comfortably over a light base layer or under an additional outer layer.
