Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's Madras, XXL BETA AR JACKET - The streamlined Beta AR Jacket provides the backcountry minimalist with durable storm protection in a lightweight and packable format. This hip length GORE-TEX Pro jacket reduces layering overlap and bulk, a helmet compatible DropHood offers quick storm protection, and reinforced shoulder and elbows survive alpine abuse. ALL AROUND - A mainstay in the Arc'teryx lineup since 2000, the Beta AR is the do everything, most versatile waterproofbreathable jacket for mountain environments. Hand pockets, athletic fit that accommodates layers and a hood with an internal collar mean comfort in storms, climbing, skiing or simply enjoying the outdoors. JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH - Hip length is the easiest to work with when layering waterproofbreathable garments. Not too short so it doesn't ride up or expose the lower back and not so long as to be cumbersome underneath a harness or a pack belt, the Beta AR hits the middle ground. THE HOOD - A good hood is a crucial detail on any serious alpine jacket. The Beta AR features the Arc'teryx DropHood, a helmet-compatible, fast adjust hood with a separate collar for draft protection. THE KEY PIECE - The Beta AR is a solid, well-rounded piece. Durable, lightweight, with hand pockets and pit zippers for ventilation, it can manage storms, rock, snow and cool seasons. GORE-TEX Pro delivers the highest level of waterproofbreathable performance.
