At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Technical mountain activities and hiking where conditions are varied and unpredictable.
• Year-round commuting and urban exploration for those who require a reliable, high-end waterproof shell.
• Multi-day trekking where the lightweight and packable nature of the ePE membrane is a distinct advantage.
• Individuals focused on sustainability who want a PFAS-compliant jacket with recycled content and bluesign approved materials.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket features a regular fit, providing a comfortable cut through the chest and waist that allows for a midweight fleece or insulated layer underneath.
• The 80D face fabric offers a more substantial and durable feel than lighter shells, making it suitable for contact with rock or heavy pack straps.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the articulated patterning ensures the jacket moves with you rather than riding up.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a medium setting and double rinse to ensure all detergent is removed from the membrane.
• Tumble dry on a medium heat setting to reactivate the DWR water repellent finish on the face fabric.
• Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these will clog the pores of the GORE-TEX and damage the technical fibres.
• Ensure all zips and fastenings are closed before washing to prevent abrasion during the cycle.
• Wash the jacket regularly to remove oils and dirt contamination, which helps maintain the breathability and prevents the fabric from wetting out.

Our Arc’teryx Beta Jacket FAQs

1. What is the benefit of the new ePE membrane?
   It is an innovative, thinner, and lighter material that provides the same waterproof protection as traditional GORE-TEX but is completely PFC-free and has a lower carbon footprint.

2. Will this jacket keep me warm?
   The Beta is a « shell » designed to block wind and rain. While it has a comfortable backer, you should pair it with an insulated mid-layer for warmth in cold conditions.

3. What should I do if the water stops beading off the surface?
   This is known as « wetting out. » Simply wash and tumble dry the jacket to clean the fabric and reactivate the DWR treatment.

4. Is the hood helmet compatible?
   The StormHood is a low-profile design intended for use without a helmet to provide the best fit and line of sight for hiking and trekking.
