From icy mountain tops to rainy city streets, the Arc’teryx Beta AR is for explorers who demand everything from their hardshell jacket.

Designed to endure the toughest alpine environments, the Beta AR combines packability, breathability, and extreme waterproof protection, so that all you have to do is focus on reaching the summit. Developed in collaboration with Gore, Arc’s signature GORE-TEX PRO with Most Rugged Technology prioritises a durable construction to accompany you on hardcore adventures, time and time again. The helmet-compatible DropHood™ can be cinched tight to shield against driving wind, whilst an embedded RECCO® reflector will help rescue parties find you in an emergency. 

And you don’t have to take it off when you’ve finished conquering peaks - this jacket is as at home in the city as it is on top of a mountain. For a versatile waterproof you can depend on, look no further than the Beta AR.
