Hardshell Jackets Archives

Arc'teryx released the Beta Insulated Jacket and Beta Insulated Coat in FW23:

In this post, the Beta Insulated Jacket will be reviewed. If you want some thoughts on Beta Insulated Coat, check out the bottom of this post as well as the jacket tables.

After releasing Proton Hybrid Hoody (Men's - Women's - read my review) just a few days ago, this makes it their second true crossover between a shell and an insulated jacket.

I wasn't even sure which category this article should be belong to (shell or insulated jackets?). In the end I decided to include it under both categories.

Summary

Arc'teryx Beta Insulated Jacket is the true jack of all trades, master of none jacket. You can use it pretty much for anything from casual use around town to high output activities.

The only area you would not be able to use it would be when it's not that cold. Coreloft 80 gsm is a lot and enough to overheat most of us.

If you're looking for a do-it-all Arc'teryx jacket in average cold and/or inclement weather, look no further. Beta Insulated would definitely be one of my primary recommendations.

While you can absolutely achieve higher versatility with an alternative combo like Proton LT (or Atom LT) + Beta AR (or Beta LT), and you should evaluate getting them instead; the simplicity advantages you get with wearing just one jacket are certainly not negligible for the ease of use.

If this will be your first ever Arc'teryx jacket... then you might have found the one.

Beta Insulated Jacket.

Warmth

Beta Insulated is equipped with 80 gsm Coreloft Continuous synthetic insulation. The main advantage you get with synthetic insulation is that unlike down, it doesn't lose its insulating power under wet weather conditions.

That said, pound by pound, it provides less warmth than down.

When everything else is equal...

Coreloft Continuous will also provide more warmth than the Coreloft Compact. Read more about synthetic insulators like Coreloft in my CLO Values Explained and Compared article.

So how much is 80 gsm in reality and what would be the degree of warmth it would provide?

Keep in mind that these are only approximate values, assuming:

worn over a shirt only and no shell over,
during daily use (strolls, power walks etc at most - no high output activities),
with light wind,
and when it's dry out.

These values applicable to your torso only. Your hands, legs and feet are still subject to their own additional insulation.

The best practice is usually to use this table for comparing each jacket to one another, rather than pinpointing their ratings.

Also, ratings will best respond to males. As most women tend to run colder than men, for women, shifting these ratings a bit is recommended.

Always opt for the warmer option when in doubt. For jackets with Atom AR level warmth and beyond, recommended is almost always the hooded models.

Breathability

The breathability of this jacket is outstanding.

Not that it's equipped with a state of the art face fabric, but because it's the only hardshell in the entire Arc'teryx's line up that comes with not one but TWO mechanical venting options (pit zips AND two way front zipper!).

As you might already know, two-way zippers have lately been a big deal around Arc'teryx jackets. It seems like customers are also split into two.

The overwhelming majority wants to see two way zippers because of added breathability and comfort (when sitting down - more on this in a second), while the remaining minority disliking them because how much of a headache they cause due to breaking often and easily.

Each to their own. Indeed, most of Arc'teryx warranty claims seem to come from two way zippers, so one should give it to them. But then again, warranty claims are few, and I can definitely understand why some are dying for them.

I personally belong to the minority. I do think the two way zippers break often, but most people aren't like me and they love them. Only you can decide if you want it or not.

Comfort

The two way zipper doesn't only makes a difference in terms of breathability but it also does in terms of comfort when sitting down.

Keeping the only upper half zipped, you can prevent it from crinkling due its lengthy nature.

Weather & abrasion resistance

The face fabric of this jacket is 2L 40D Gore-Tex main fabric, which is not as stiff as 3L Gore-Tex Pro jackets like Beta AR (Men's - Women's) and Beta SV (Men's - Women's). But it certainly is more comfortable, more stretchy and less noisy.

And it's still pretty stiff if you're not planning to wear the jacket for, say, 15+ years. Beta AR and SV (read my comparison of the two) are mad durable in this regard, so it's not Beta Insulated that is the outlier in here.

It does come with DWR by the way.

What is DWR by the way?

DWR is a coating.

It's basically sprayed on to the surface of these jackets as a finish. It stands for Durable Water Repellent - which means that water will be repelled under wet conditions instead of soaking into the fabric.

DWR also decreases dry time.

It's a good thing these jackets are coated in DWR, but pay attention to the fact that DWR is a coating - meaning that it will wear off over time.

Which is why you might want to invest in a DWR spray such as this one for after treatment.

As you see, there's a strong correlation between FP x FW and temperature ratings, but not more than, say, 80%. I explained why this happens here in this post of mine.

Pockets

In addition to three external (two hand warmer and one chest) pockets, Beta Insulated Jacket offers one internal drop in pocket (only on ONE side), and one zippered internal security pocket.

Alternatives

Besides layer combos, this jacket doesn't really have any alternative. At least until now. If we were to include the discontinued pieces, Alpha IS (Men's) could be the closest (as it too is an insulated hardshell), but it was centered around climbing activities instead of being an all round jacket like Beta Insulated, and it does NOT offer pit zips.

For women, there's also the option to get a Beta Insulated Coat. But it doesn't offer pit zips either, though does come with a two way zipper. If you want to increase warmth, and you aren't planning to perform any high output activities with it (because it's stupid long), then consider getting that too.
