Arc'teryx Beta AR Women's GORE-TEX PRO Shell Jacket

The Beta AR is the toughest, most hardwearing jacket in the Beta family, built as an all-mountain hardshell for pro-level protection when the rain is blowing sideways on a summit push. Its hybrid mix of GORE-TEX PRO ePE fabrics places extra durability in the shoulders and lighter weight in the body, keeping your core bone-dry.

Designed with a helmet-compatible DropHood and easy-access features, it is a versatile shell for a wide range of alpine activities. The jacket is not insulated, so warmth comes from the layers you choose underneath, letting you adjust your system to the conditions.
