Description
The Arc'teryx GORE-TEX Beta 2027 is a technical shell built for riders who want one jacket that handles everything from lift-accessed resort days to backcountry exposure. Its GORE-TEX 2L construction keeps the weight low without giving up durability, making it a go-to layer when conditions shift fast.
At the core is a GORE-TEX ePE membrane — lighter and thinner than previous generations, fully PFAS-free, and laminated to a bio-based nylon face fabric. The C-KNIT backer adds a noticeably smooth feel against a midlayer. The regular fit gives enough room to move freely over insulation without adding bulk, and articulated patterning means your reach stays unrestricted on the board. The low-profile StormHood adjusts with a single pull and won't block your peripheral vision. A FC0-DWR treatment handles surface moisture, and a WaterTight Vislon front zip with chin guard seals out wind. An embedded RECCO reflector rounds out the safety side.
Who It's For
Riders who want a versatile, packable shell that handles variable mountain weather without hauling multiple jackets. If you ride hard days with changing conditions — storm mornings, blue-sky afternoons — the Beta's breathability and weatherproofing keep up. It also suits anyone who prefers to layer for warmth rather than rely on a fixed insulation system.
FAQ
-
Why is the face fabric wetting out faster than my old jacket? The ePE membrane is thinner than previous Gore-Tex constructions, which can make the DWR treatment feel less aggressive at first. A warm machine wash and tumble dry cycle restores full DWR performance — waterproofing of the membrane itself is not affected.
