Happy With This Jacket!

Bought this jacket to replace my 20 year old Theta. Same quality (and I hope durability), but much lighter. I went back and forth between this and the beta sl. Ultimately, I like the durable feel of the GT pro without being too “crunchy” or stiff.

Travel Friendly.great Features And Color.

The Beta AR is for regular use, especially that it is a year round use Product.Most frequently used, when it is rainy or snowy weather.I love it because it is well made,packable and the color is amazing.I get noticed and complimented when I wear it.I had the older one for almost 12 years and I am very grateful that I was given a Replacement, after the first one was near the end of its useful life.Thank you .

Nice Shell But A Little Bland

Jacket is cut well and fits without extra material. The feel is a little stiff but I assume that's due to the the waterproof membrane. It is not as thick as the Sidewinder it replaces and I hope the bonded areas will last longer, as that is what failed on the previous 2 Arc'teryx jackets. It is a simple jacket without lots of extra pockets and that seems to keep the weight down and make it easier to pack. I was undecided about which version to get - the stormhood one or this one and went with the separate collar version. I've yet to really use the hood in a downpour so I can't say if I made the right choice. I do like the collar on this one and that the hood lays flatter when not raised. Color choices were meh, so I went with the basic black sapphire. It's nice and understated but I've found recent Arc'teryx colors to be less interesting than when I first was attracted to the brand. All told, this seems to be a good functional and flexible waterproof shell with good tailoring. I hope it grows on me as I use it more, but I'm a little underwhelmed to start.

Upgrade From My 2005 Beta Ar

After 20 years spent with my old Beta AR 2005 which I loved, I only just upgraded to the 2025 Beta AR. I can’t really give an honest review as I only have it for two weeks, but compared to my old jacket (made in Canada) the new one feels much lighter and I hope it will be as durable (time will tell but I really doubt). The design is also very different: compared to my old one, the 2025 version feels very baggy (which will be more convenient for layering), with longer arms as well. It also sits much longer on the back, I have to pull it up a bit when suiting for example.
