Arc'teryx GORE-TEX Beta Jacket 2027 – Women's Shell

The Arc'teryx GORE-TEX Beta Jacket 2027 is a women's hardshell built for riders and alpinists who refuse to pick just one kind of day. Whether you're lapping the resort or pushing into the backcountry, this Gore-Tex 3L shell handles everything from bluebird cold to full-on storm with confident, packable performance.

At its core is a Gore-Tex 3L construction pairing an 80D bio-based nylon face with a GORE-TEX ePE membrane — an expanded polyethylene film that is PFAS-free, lighter than previous generations, and bonded directly to a C-KNIT backer for a smooth, next-to-skin feel. The result is a shell that is fully waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable while carrying a reduced carbon footprint. A FC0-DWR treatment sheds surface moisture, the WaterTight Vislon front zip with chin guard seals out wind, dual hem adjusters lock in heat, and an articulated cut keeps movement unrestricted. The low-profile StormHood cinches down without blocking peripheral vision, and a built-in RECCO reflector adds a layer of safety in avalanche terrain.

The Beta is ideal for the versatile mountain athlete — the skier or snowboarder who moves between resort, sidecountry, and touring in a single season and needs one jacket that can keep up. If you generate a lot of heat on the uptrack and need a shell that breathes hard and packs light, this is it. Riders who want serious weather protection without a bulky silhouette will find the regular, articulated fit strikes exactly the right balance.

• Is the Beta Jacket insulated? No — it is an uninsulated shell designed to be layered. For a warmer option, Arc'teryx offers the Beta Insulated Jacket.
• What does PFAS-free mean for waterproofing? The ePE membrane contains no intentionally added PFAS chemicals yet remains fully waterproof and windproof; the FC0-DWR finish on the face fabric is also fluorocarbon-free.
