The most packable and supple jacket in the Arc'teryx Essentials collection; constructed using GORE-TEX with Paclite technology in the main body, and reinforced with GORE-TEX with 3L tricot technology in high wear areas.

Saved my life
This jacket quite literally saved my life. Our backpacking group hiked into Cranberry Wilderness in West Virginia during a thunderstorm and woke up to an unexpected inch of snow and 0 degree temperatures. Even with just a light fleece on as my only insulation layer, my upper body was never once cold on the entire trip. I was shocked at how well such a light, thin shell could cut the biting wind to absolutely nothing and neither rain nor snow leaked inside.I had bought this jacket on sale at REI with the intention of trying it out and returning it after a weekend of backpacking, but instead Arc'teryx has made a lifelong customer. I was skeptical that it could bring anything more to the table than my North Face or Patagonia shells for a hundred dollars more, but it most certainly does. The Beta has some extreme durability, body heat retention, impermiability to the elements, and quality of material and design - all of which pulled through for me when I was unprepared for mother nature's worst.

best of the best
Good grief I love this jacket. I love everything about it. And only weighing 13 ounces is perfect for lighter weight backpacking.I wear this in the brutal cold over top of my atom lt. They work perfectly together. And it definitely is enough to keep out -10 degree temps/wind chill we've been having. The material is a little louder than I would like, but that's what you get with gore-tex paclite. I've checked every steam and stitch and the quality of this jacket is what you're paying for. It's backed by arc'teryx guarantee anyway.I look forward to using this in warmer weather too which is why I got this one with the pit zips. I've already received a lot of compliments on it too - very stylish.
