Arc'teryx Beta Jacket - Black - M

The Beta Jacket is designed as a versatile GORE-TEX® shell offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection for a wide range of outdoor activities and everyday use.

No, the Beta Jacket is a shell layer. It does not have insulation and is designed to be layered over other clothing for warmth.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on medium heat until completely dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

It means the jacket uses a GORE-TEX® membrane that is free from perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are chemicals often used in waterproofing treatments. 'ePE' refers to the expanded polyethylene material used in the membrane, offering durable water protection and breathability.

The integrated RECCO® reflector is a passive safety device that aids rescuers in locating individuals in an avalanche or wilderness emergency. It is not a substitute for essential avalanche safety equipment like transceivers, probes, and shovels.

Yes, the Beta Jacket can be used in very cold weather when layered appropriately with insulating mid-layers and base layers. Its shell design allows for customizable warmth.

The StormHood™ features a single-pull adjuster at the back. Pull the cord to tighten the hood around your head for optimal coverage and to prevent it from restricting your vision.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on medium heat, or iron on a low setting (with a towel) to reactivate. If performance does not improve, reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX® products.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Check that pit zips (if present on other models) are open. Ensure you are not wearing a base layer that holds moisture excessively.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove any dirt or salt buildup. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax sparingly to the zipper teeth.

Check the drawcord and its stopper. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the stopper and that the stopper is functioning properly. If the stopper is damaged, it may need replacement.
