From Backcountry.com:
"Arc'teryx created the Men's Beta AR Jacket for mountaineers and skiers who want the performance of Gore-Tex Pro and top-notch durability without a laundry list of un-needed features. The Beta AR Jacket includes polyester-reinforcements on high-abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows to increase its lifespan. Pitzips help you stay cool when the going gets tough, and WaterTight zippers combine with the waterproof breathable material to provide moisture protection when the weather turns nasty. What this Arc'teryx jacket doesn't have is a million pockets, a heavy zip-in liner, fancy electronics pockets, or any other weight-adding bells and whistles you don't want."

"I used mine first time last weekend during a night at the "Pico Oriental" (Venezuela) summit. You do not feel hot inside however the jacket deals temperatures about 35 ºF. using only a T shirt inside.

I like the weight (492 grams) easy to pack."

"This hard shell is sick. Don't go with any other brand if you want quality, dependability, and performance. Teryx is ahead of their time and their stuff is well thought out. I don't give perfect ratings because nothing man-made is perfect.

The Beta AR is simple and doesn't have all of the unnecessary frills that do nothing but add weight."
