Beta is a great all-around waterproof shell. The fit let's you move easily, even over other layers, the face fabric is light but fully rainproof and durable, and it has only the features you need. If you are looking for a single hardshell to use year round for skiing, hiking, travel, whatever... this is a great choice.

Hiking Essential: Fit, Comfort, Protection.
The Arc’teryx Beta Jacket (Women’s, Blaze) is perfect for hiking. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, it keeps me dry while allowing room for insulating layers underneath. The fit is comfortable with a backpack, and the adjustable hood and pockets are practical. Durable, stylish, and worth it for serious trail enthusiasts.

Great Shell!!
Absolutely love it!! I recently upgraded my shell since my older one started to show some wear and tear after a few years. The inside pocket is a plus and I can’t be happier with the pastel pink. Fits perfectly and does what it claims to do which is waterproof and wind proof. It’s lightweight and easy to pack.

Runs Small, But The Best Jacket
I have been lucky enough to have multiple styles of Arc'teryx rain jackets (among other products). These rain jackets are the best out there in terms of water repellency. The Beta is breathable and good for varying weather conditions. It is light weight and highly packable. Size wise I will say that their jackets run quite small. I am typically a size 8 or 10 across the board, athletic build, 34DD, and 5'4". I purchased an XL in this jacket to make sure I could fit layers underneath. A photo is attached. I have the Beta AR in a size medium and it is snug across my hips - I can only fit a thin layer underneath. Very excited to have the larger size in the Beta to have options of what to wear underneath. It is a great jacket, but I would like to see them develop more inclusive sizing.
