Question 1

Whats the best size for 5 foot 6, xs or s

Beth, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for your question. Based on height and weight alone, it's tough to recommend an exact size for the Beta Insulated Jacket Men's, as fit preferences and body proportions can vary from person to person. The best way to find the right size is to compare your body measurements with the sizing chart on the product page. If your measurements fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for a roomier fit and layering space, or the smaller size for a closer-fitting silhouette. If you'd like more personalized sizing assistance, please reach out to our Guest Services team with your chest, waist, and sleeve measurements, and we'd be happy to help.

Question 2

Est-ce que ce manteau a un ajustement intérieur à la taille ?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Bonjour et merci pour votre question! La veste isolante Beta ne possède pas de système d’ajustement intérieur à la taille. En revanche, elle est équipée de deux cordons situés à l’ourlet, qui vous permettent de resserrer le bas de la veste afin d’obtenir une coupe plus ajustée.

Question 3

Getting wet on the inside in rain. The rain is coming in through the front of the  neck and running down inside. How can I stop this?

Question 4

1) During washing and drying pockets zipped or unzipped? For shell / synthetic site recommends unzipping pockets but care instructions say 'close all fasteners'. Will washing unzipped damage it?

2) How do you recommend to even out insulation post drying?

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your questions! When washing your Arc'teryx GORE-TEX jacket, make sure to zip up the main zipper and pit zippers, and leave pocket zippers unzipped. Washing with pockets unzipped is not typically associated with damage, especially on durable fabrics. The Beta Insulated is made with Coreloft™ Continuous 90 synthetic insulation, which is designed in sheets rather than loose fill like down. Because of this construction, it usually doesn’t require redistribution. Learn more about product care here: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/help/product-care. We hope this helps!

Question 5

Can I wear the Beta Insulated jacket and a heavy back pack? or this will damage the waterproof fabric?

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can wear the Beta Insulated Jacket with a heavy backpack. The jacket is built with a durable 2-layer GORE-TEX waterproof membrane and a nylon face fabric designed for demanding outdoor use. Wearing a backpack will not damage the waterproof membrane itself. However, as with any jacket, repeated abrasion from backpack straps can cause normal surface wear and may reduce the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric. This is considered normal wear and tear, not a failure of the jacket’s waterproofing, and the DWR can be maintained or restored with proper cleaning and care.

Question 6

What is the chest width, waist width, hem width, center back length, and sleeve length for the current model in men’s size XL? Does it have the same dimensions as the 2023 model? I tried an XL from 03/2023 and one from 05/2023 and the 03/2023 was larger.

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question! In recent years, the Men's fit has been updated with a revised fit. Medium size remains unchanged, smaller sizes are now tighter, and larger sizes are now looser. Here are the measurements for the FW25 Beta Insulated Jacket Men's in size XL:

Chest Width: 137.6cm
Waist Width: 134.6cm
Hem Width: 134.6cm
Center Back Length: 83.6cm
Sleeve Length (from center back neck to shoulder point to bottom sleeve edge): 100.6cm

For reference, here are the measurements for the FW23 Beta Insulated Jacket Men's in size XL:

Chest Width: 136cm
Waist Width: 133cm
Hem Width: 133cm
Center Back Length: 83.6cm
Sleeve Length (from center back neck to shoulder point to bottom sleeve edge): 100.6cm

We hope this helps!

Question 7

Was this jacket designed for skiing? If not, is it as warm as your ski jackets?

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hi Jerry, thank you for your question and for your interest in our Beta Insulate Jacket! This jacket is designed to be our most versatile insulated GORE-TEX mountain shell, suitable for a variety of activities during the colder months. While it can certainly be used for skiing, it’s not specifically designed as a ski jacket. When it comes to warmth, everyone feels it a little differently, so we don’t assign temperature ratings. However, here’s a quick comparison of the insulation in our Beta Insulated Jacket and one of our Insulated ski jackets:
Beta Insulated Jacket: Coreloft™ Continuous, 90 gsm
Sabre Insulated Jacket: Coreloft™ Compact, 80 gsm

That said, the Beta Insulated Jacket offers excellent insulation and weather protection. If you’d like some tips on staying cozy, check out our Layering Guide here: https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/shop/layering-guide/. We hope this helps!

Question 9

What is the recommended temperature range for this jacket? and, what is its water resistance rating ( in millimeters)?

Sophie · Accepted Answer

Hi Felipe, thanks for reaching out! We don’t provide specific temperature ratings for our gear, as warmth is highly individual and depends on factors like your core body temperature, climate, activity level, intended use, and layering system. While we don’t list water resistance ratings in millimeters for individual products, all our GORE-TEX items, including the Beta Insulated Jacket, are designed to meet a 28,000 mm water column standard. Water resistance varies across products based on the technologies and construction methods used. We hope this helps answer your questions!

Question 10

Has someone found the RECCO reflector on that jacket? If so, tell me where it is

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The hidden RECCO® reflector on the Beta Insulated Jacket is located on the left sleeve. We hope this helps!
