Arc'teryx is one of the most in-demand outdoor brands at the moment, crafting top-notch hiking, trail-running, and winter sports gear to help outdoor goers do what they love most in comfort. So, you can imagine my surprise when I found one of their dependable waterproof jackets reduced by almost $180.
The Men's Arc'teryx Beta AR jacket aims to combine breathability with dependable protection from the elements, and is now available for just $420.93 at REI.
Its main body is made from Arc'teryx's lightweight N40d Most Rugged fabric, and protects you from the elements with three-layer Gore-Tex waterproofing. Gore-Tex membranes are a very popular choice for outdoor gear, due to their reliable waterproofing and decent breathability.
Ventilation is enhanced by large pit zips on either side of the jacket, which allow for some much-needed airflow as you get a sweat on.
An embedded RECCO reflector is also a handy touch that could come in useful in emergencies. The small battery-free transponder responds to detector signals, so search and rescue can locate you in dense wilderness and snowfall.
This tough Arc'teryx jacket is reduced to $420.93 in the sleek Electra/Soulsonic and Dynasty colorways, but you can find it for $510.93 in Black Sapphire and Black.
