FAQs
What is GORE-TEX ePE fabric?
GORE-TEX ePE is an advanced waterproof and breathable membrane that is lighter and features an expanded polyethylene (ePE) material, designed to reduce the environmental footprint without compromising performance.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Arc'teryx Beta is a shell jacket, meaning it provides waterproof and windproof protection. For extreme cold, it needs to be worn over appropriate insulating layers. It does not provide inherent warmth.
How often should I wash my GORE-TEX jacket?
Wash your jacket when it appears dirty or when water stops beading up on the surface (even after a DWR reactivation). Regular cleaning helps maintain its breathability and water repellency.
Can I iron this jacket?
Yes, you can iron the jacket on a low, warm setting, placing a cloth between the iron and the jacket. This can help reactivate the DWR finish after washing. Do not use steam.
What does RECCO® Reflectors mean?
RECCO® Reflectors are small passive transponders that make you searchable by professional rescue teams using RECCO® detectors. They require no power or activation to function.
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, thanks to its GORE-TEX ePE membrane and `WaterTight™ Vislon Front Zip`, the jacket is designed to be fully waterproof and windproof, providing reliable protection in wet conditions.
Does the jacket come with a warranty?
> Info needed: Specific warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to Arc'teryx's official warranty policy for details on coverage and terms.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems to be losing its water repellency (wetting out).
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes or carefully ironing on a low setting with a protective cloth.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant sparingly. Ensure the zipper path is clear of fabric.
Unpleasant odor develops in the jacket.
Wash the jacket thoroughly following the care instructions. Consider using a technical wash specifically designed for outdoor gear to remove odors and restore breathability.
Fabric appears dirty or stained.
Pre-treat stains gently with a small amount of liquid detergent or a specialized technical cleaner before washing the jacket as per instructions.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your GORE-TEX jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Wash: The jacket is `Machine Washable`. Use a warm cycle (40°C/105°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers, as these can impair the fabric's water repellency.
- Rinse: Run an extra rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a warm, gentle cycle. Once dry, tumble dry for an additional 20 minutes to reactivate the jacket's durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. If you do not have a dryer, you can iron the dry garment on a warm setting with a cloth over it.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
