help Arc'teryx Beta AR FAQ

What does the "AR" stand for in the Arc'teryx Beta AR jacket?

In Arc'teryx naming conventions, "AR" stands for All Round, indicating it is designed to handle a wide variety of weather conditions and activities. The Beta AR utilizes N80p-X GORE-TEX Pro fabric in high-wear areas to maximize durability for alpine climbing and skiing.

Is the Arc'teryx Beta AR jacket suitable for heavy rain?

How does the Arc'teryx Beta AR differ from the Beta LT?

The Beta AR is built with a heavier-duty N40d/N80d face fabric and features a drop hood, making it more abrasion-resistant and ideal for harsh alpine environments. Conversely, the Beta LT (Lightweight) uses a thinner N32r fabric to save weight and pack down smaller for fast-and-light mountain missions.
