ARC’TERYX BETA AR 10 YEAR LONG TERM REVIEW!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2022
- THE ARC’TERYX BETA AR has been my go to “when the going gets tough” jacket of choice for over a decade. Recently tho I have noticed a massive uptick in the popularity of the ARCTERYX BETA AR.
For some reason overnight the ARCTERYX BETA AR has become a FASHION JACKET. This literally caught me by surprise. I have long sang the praises of the ARCTERYX BETA AR as an outdoor jacket however, as good as this jacket is at all things OUTDOORS this jacket IMHO isn’t very good in the city.

Something I forgot to mention. I get cold really, really easy. When I get cold, my body over reacts and I feel like I’m going to die, NO BS 😂. So before I invested in this ARC’TERYX trifecta, I did tons of research. I went in and spent over $1000.00 for this kit. When I tell you this equipment works, no joke, if this can keep me warm and dry it should absolutely work for anyone else… Over a decade later, I am still very happy with this investment , and could probably sell the kit for close to what I paid or more lol. I still don’t think of it as a fashionable item tho lol. I hope everyone finds this review insightful.
I think a big reason for people moving towards outdoor brands like Arc’teryx, outside of status, is being sick of fast fashion. There’s been more demand for durable, repairable, and sustainable clothing in recent years.
i crashed on my bicycle one on harsh pavement, slided on my back and elbow but still no tears or rips on my jacket, durability is 10/10
I had the same thing happen to my Arc’teryx jacket. Filed a warranty claim, sent it in for repair, and it’s as good as new.
Just found this. I’ve had three Beta ARs in the same timeframe, 10 years. I received the latest one this week March 22. It was a warranty replacement. My last jacket was 4 years old, never washed it and eventually it started to delaminate. The latest jacket has a different cut, it feels tighter at the waste. Or my butt has grown! The Goretex is super stiff, like paper, and it rustles loud! The big improvement is a shaped chin guard. It zips up snug to surround your face. I also use the Atom LT. It’s the perfect system to go outdoors. Like everything that is niche and perfect, eventually it will be adopted by the masses for showboating in the urban environment.
I'm into fashion but also has love for the outdoors so when I found this brand and it check both markers I was sold, on top of that a lot of reviews state it last them a life time so I was sold. I'm the type of person that love to invest in pieces, its an upfront cost for something that will last a while so i rather save my time having to shop every year to just buy it once and use for a long time. I felt into the trap of buying something cheap and then it doesnt work to how i want it to work or it look weird and then end up buying something to replace it and end up with a bunch of clothes, now I just buy stuff that I know will work and last in the long run it actually save u more money. I would rec everyone to buy this jacket if ur in the market for a rain jacket if u have the funds to spare for it
I don't know how to tell you this, but that fit is FIRE even now in 2023 🙏🙏🙏
For as much use and the cost for the shell, maybe send it in and have arcteryx repair the shell and return it to you almost like new. I think they even reapply the dwr.
Thanks for this review! Currently I am looking for a replacement for my, no joke, 25 year old GoreTex TNF shell (back when they made SERIOUS harsh environment gear that worked flawlessly), and am thinking about dropping the coin on this very jacket, so it's awesome to hear that it has lasted you a decade and keeps on ticking, because (in essence) paying an average of only 60 bucks a year over ten years (that's only 5 smackers a month for 10 years if you think about it) for a high-end piece of kit like this is beyond worth it.
Funny enough i wanted that gortex jacket as soon as you started talking about its features lol. Especially when you couple it with a mid and base layer. Also i dont think you can put a price on longevity, not that i am going to purchase one soon but still an item to think about when i am looking for new gortex. Nature Armor thats such a uniqe description, hilarious haha
Thank You Awesome review!!! we are headed to Iceland and doing I believe that same hike , and I am looking for the best jacket.. Going at the end of August and we know conditions can change quickly . Thank you again
Thanks for the great review & really impressive performance over 12 years. Btw got a new Beta AR & the sound is just the same. For me also no fashion jacket but 100% outdoor performance gear though anybody as they like :)
Dude, thanks for the video. What brand is the Longsleeve you wear under the vest? Looks cool!
Awesome review. You have a cool way about you. I have the Beta AR and agree it’s not the ‘ideal’ casual rain jacket. Arc’teryx makes better walk in the city rain jackets.
Rite now I have 4 Nike ACG Gore Tex Jacket this pick up 3 last year and 1 this year. I buy them for the performance and also for when I go snow boarding.
I loved my Beata AR jacket, but I'd call it the absolute worst jacket for backpackers. Here's why. I bought mine just before the pandemic (who knew?). As a result, it got very light use for two years. I only wore it in the city to go shopping and for a few day hikes in a nearby forest. Suddenly, the main zipper stopped working. The jacket still looked like new, but it wouldn't zip. That would be tragic if I were backpacking in the snow. To make matters worse, I sent it abroad at my own expense to be repaired, and not only would Arcteryx not repair it, but they also refused to honor the warranty. I have a Jack Wolfskin jacket that's nearly fifteen years old that still has perfectly working zippers and cost a fraction of the price.
Yep, I totally agree with you on all counts especially the idea of wearing the Beta AR as a leisure around town jacket, oh no, not for me. The jacket is way too noisy. I have all the Atom line, the Thorium and Cerium in jackets. I just wish they would actually revise the Cerium, the medium is just too much of a snug fit, at least in the medium and others have said the same about the Cerium. I like wearing my Cerium and Atom LT under the Beta AR. I think my Beta AR is around five or six years old and still literally just as new, such a bomb-proof piece of gear, so happy to have it. Today I am actually waiting for my new Atom AR (Microchip) to arrive today, I have finally decided to upgrade all my Atom jackets since the revisions were made by Arc'teryx I think in 2020 when they made that change? I love my Arc'teryx jackets! Thanks for the great review and video!
Great review. I love my Atom jacket. Have you come across any comfortable and good looking shell jackets?
Big fan of the Arcteryx gear. Awesome review!
The seams coming loose on my wrists happened to my Theta AR I think it is. I sent it back to ARc’Teryx and they fixed it.
