Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Men's
bomber
By kris September 30, 2010
for the life of me i cant understand how anyone could give this anything less than 5 stars. this jacket does it all. i spent a week in Algonquin park Ontario with this thing and i think that we may have had a combined 24 hours where it didnt rain. i have spent much of my life hiking, traveling, and mountaineering and this was the most rain i have ever had in a week. everything was soaked, it was impossible to keep things dry, but i have to say that not a drop of water got through this jacket, it is impeccable. the finest quality and materials. the craftsmanship is unsurpassed and it will last forever. when i walked out of the park it was unrecognizable as an arc'teryx jack there was so much mud on it, but i threw it in the washer and hung it out to dry and i swear you could bag it up and sell it as new, it was still in perfect condition. after more than a week of bushwacking and just beating the hell out of it i expected scrapes and blemishes, but could find nothing wrong with it. i feel confident in saying that no other jacket could do what this did. if you can afford it this is worth its weight in gold. i have owned a lot of jackets in my day but this is simply the best. pull the trigger, you wont regret it
