A tough Gore-Tex® Pro Shell storm blocker from the brand that's considered the best of the best.

Not too heavy nor too light the Arc'teryx Men's Beta AR Jacket is your all-around solution for backcountry protection. Although it's cut a little shorter than some other models in the mountaineering-oriented Arc'teryx Ascent series a drop back hem offers adequate coverage during active use. For the ultimate combination of strength breathability and waterproof protection Arc'teryx chose Gore-Tex® 3-layer Pro fabrics for the Beta AR using an extra-durable version in the shoulders and elbows places that are likely to receive extra wear and tear. The permanently attached drop hood is helmet compatible and fully adjustable and a laminated hem drawcord seals out bone-chilling spindrift. The Arc'tryx Beta AR Jacket for men also features WaterTight laminated front pit and hand pocket zips a technology that eliminates the need for bulky zipper flaps. This along with micro seam allowances and the use of narrow seam tape noticeably reduces garment weight and improves suppleness.
