FAQs

Can I wear this for casual daily use?

Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Difficulty operating zippers
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth; a dedicated zipper lubricant can be used if they remain stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Beta AR, store it hanging in a cool, dry place. For cleaning, use a technical fabric wash to remove dirt and oils that can impair the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically tumble dry the garment on low heat to reactivate the water-repellency of the exterior shell. Because this is a shell, it is designed to be paired with various mid-layers like fleece or synthetic insulation depending on the ambient temperature. When adjusting the hood or hem, ensure you release the cord locks fully to prevent unnecessary tension on the toggles.
