Product Information
Full details
The Arc'teryx Beta Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a versatile, all-mountain performance jacket for comfort and protection in varied weather. Its key benefit is breathable, waterproof performance combined with enhanced comfort due to its 3-layer GORE-TEX construction and soft G-Knit backer. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may require careful consideration for layering preferences.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GORE C-Knit backer?
The GORE C-Knit backer provides a softer feel against the skin and enhances breathability, making the jacket more comfortable for extended wear, especially directly over a base layer.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not insulated. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered over insulating garments like down or synthetic jackets.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with warm water and a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice. Tumble dry on medium or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and dry cleaning.
What does the RECCO® reflector do?
The RECCO® reflector is a passive transponder that assists ski patrol and mountain rescue teams in locating individuals in the event of an avalanche or other search and rescue scenarios. It does not require batteries.
Can I wear a helmet with the StormHood™?
Yes, the StormHood™ is designed to accommodate most ski or climbing helmets. Adjust the hood's drawcords for a secure and comfortable fit.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
Reapply DWR treatment when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Follow the specific instructions of the DWR product used.
What does '3-layer GORE-TEX' mean?
This refers to the construction where the GORE-TEX membrane is bonded between a durable outer face fabric and a protective inner lining (the C-Knit backer in this case). This construction is known for its durability, breathability, and waterproofness.
Is the material environmentally friendly?
The jacket uses a PFC-free GORE-TEX ePE membrane and a recycled nylon backing, meeting bluesign® criteria, indicating a commitment to environmentally conscious material sourcing and production.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket surface (DWR failure)
Wash the jacket according to care instructions. If water absorption persists, apply a DWR treatment following the product's guidelines.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant sparingly to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that any internal membrane is not compromised. Vent using the main zipper and pit zips if available on other models.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Ensure the adjustment cords are properly threaded through the toggles and cinched correctly. Check for any damage to the adjustment system.
