Arc'teryx Beta Jacket

To provide complete waterproof protection during harsh mountain downpours without adding unnecessary weight to your daypack, the Arc'teryx Beta Jacket in Mongoose is engineered with a technical three layer GORE-TEX shell. Constructed from a durable 80 denier face fabric backed with a soft GORE C-KNIT liner, this all round mountain shell prevents driving rain and wind from penetrating your outer layers while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape freely. Outfitted with a low profile adjustable StormHood, a full length water resistant front zip, dual hand pockets with WaterTight zippers, and an adjustable drawcord hem, it delivers uncompromising storm coverage, smooth skin comfort, and exceptional mobility across changing alpine conditions.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Year round mountain walking, alpine trekking, forest hikes, wet weather commutes, and wilderness travel.
• Wearing as a protective outer shell over midlayer fleeces or insulated down jackets during heavy downpours.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Official sizing from the brand recommends this garment for a fitted athletic cut that sits close to the body for active movement.
• Arc'teryx advises to choose your standard size for an ergonomic fit over light midlayers, or size up if you plan to wear heavy insulated coats underneath.
• Articulated pattern design and gusseted underarms ensure total arm extension without the hem pulling up.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Close all zips and machine wash on a warm 40 degree gentle synthetic cycle.
• Use specialized liquid detergent formulated for technical GORE-TEX membranes rather than standard detergent.
• Tumble dry on medium heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent shell coating.
• Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, iron, or dry clean technical waterproof hardshells.
