If you like keeping things simple, the Beta Jacket is also a tidy option for everyday wear, proper weatherproofing for commutes, dog walks and weekends away, without the bulk. It’s designed to be lightweight and packable. Choose from a range of colours and fits, then dial in your hood and hem for a secure feel when the wind picks up.
Not sure which Beta to go for? If you’re mostly heading out in spring-through-autumn weather, the standard Arcteryx Beta Jacket is a solid go-to shell for rain, wind and mixed forecasts. When it’s properly cold, stormy, or you’re planning bigger mountain days, it’s worth stepping up to the Arc’teryx Beta AR or Arc’teryx Beta SV for a tougher build that can take more punishment and give you a bit more confidence in full-on winter conditions.
