True! Never cheap out on essential things like jackets, drills etc!

Thank you I’m sincerely happy you enjoyed it and found value in my content! 💯

Heck yeah dude

I absolutely agree!

I would definitely check them out, there are a lot of good companies out there but, I personally have had the best experiences with ARC’TERYX.

I agree, have no regrets spending the money on this system. It has kept me warm and dry in challenging conditions many times over. IMHO you cant put a price on that! Well I guess you can $1k dollars LOL.

@@KRTLyfe nice!!

The North Face Triclimate is a good option depending on how you plan to use it. I just couldn’t justify keeping both and the ARC’TERYX fits my intended usage better.

Thank you, I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

Good to hear, my first one lasted me many seasons hopefully this one will do the same!

It’s so interesting, even reading the comments on my vlog how some people got first class service and others did not. I really wonder how ARC’TERYX makes these decisions. I’m in no way affiliated with them so I have no idea maybe they will comment on this vlog one day…

My beta delaminated. Returned it and they replaced it. Still have my 89 northfwce mountain jacket. Ahh goretex has to be cared for. Use a warm iron after cleaning them it restores repelance, emphasis on warm. Not hot youl melt the nylon.

Agree the atom LT is the best jacket I’ve ever bought

I think only the Alpha SV is still made in Canada, the Atom isn’t

That is interesting, TNF warranty in North America is really good. I was not aware that the same level of post purchase support didn’t extend to other markets. That is unfortunate if it is true. I had a issue with a pair of TNF gloves and happened to walk past a TNF store in NYC they exchanged them right there on the spot no receipt no questions asked. So I do feel TNF is a great brand but ARC’TERYX fit my usage and lifestyle a little better.

You're lucky if you get any warranty claim on either North Face or Arc'teryx after 2 years in Norway. They say there's a full 5 years right to "complain" if something that isnt considered a wearable item stops working/ gets broken (except user error) . But this a cacadoodle trickery. My brother spent more than a thousand dollars on a jacket and pants for randonee skiing. His pants ripped after less than a year and Arc'teryx was only willing to repair if he paid it. Then cautioning him that the warranty would be cancelled if he took the pants to another shop for repairs. So he'll go back to Fjällräven when buying the next set. They fix all garments for free for up to a decade.

LOL yeah I didn’t want to mess up and cut my brand new jackets LMAO. That would have been a fail!

I had a very similar experience I crashed really bad snowboarding in my previous shell and thought for sure it was damaged but to my surprise the nothing was hurt only me LOL.

That is awesome, have a great journey hope the jacket exceeds your expectations.

If its a paclite version , unless you are a fair weather hiker who uses it as an emergency jacket, i would avoid. The industry has done a bad job of selling paclite. It will wear out in a couple of winters of medium use. I think the LT has a 3L construction and still pretty light.

@@welovecheshirecats4557 for me I refuse to wear anything but Gore-Tex pro. You should only be buying the highest quality products for you to use them if you settle for less than that means you are willing to fail in life. It’s like the people who are you would rather use a bar of soap they got for free that is garbage soap compared to a four dollar bar of soap that washes much better some people think they are winning when they save money when the best majority are actually losers. Saving money upfront always costs you down the road.

Facts! I don’t know who told ppl NOT to wash their goretex jackets when that’s actually how to keep it in great condition.

I highly disagreed on washing anything of high-quality and expensive material. Every time you wash something you destroy 5 to 10% of its quality. I have wool sweaters that I haven’t washed after wearing it for six months 24 seven every day and they are fine. I have a lot of fur items and I’ve never washed them in years and they are like new. I went about 9 months before washing my silk bed sheets.

@@MobileAura please read the official caretaking manual and stop spreading misinformation.

@@MobileAura and please bro wash your bed sheets and clothes. If you wash them the right way they will last long and you and your bed won't smell like ass.

@@MobileAura you should definitely read the care instructions on those garments. There’s no excuse to smell like skid row by CHOICE. Fur can be cleaned by the specialists who sold it to you, and i machine wash my wool garments and hang dry with no issues. Seriously, wash your clothes AND your ass!

Please share with us the model! I would love to find this jacket and try it vs mine!

I agree, going forward I doubt as will try washing them again.

Thank you we appreciate it! 🇺🇦 ❤️❤️❤️. Will definitely do a video showing how I’ve downsized my wardrobe.

How can u afford it?

@@lonevoyager6026 excuse me?

Thank you sorry for the late reply. The T shirt is from Wool & Prince. I linked my review of it in the pinned comment. Thanks again!

@@awolsniper they are very expensive so how do u manage to buy them?

@@lonevoyager6026 my brother in christ, get a good/better job, save money, and prioritize your expenses.

No you Don’t bro. Just be willing to treat yourself and tell yourself you deserve quality. It’s an investment for cold weather.

There is something they can do. Porsche had this problem. Investors were snapping up their limited edition models, and reselling. You know what happens now? they search sites looking for car sales, and if they find you reselling a limited edition for more than you paid, they mark you as an investor, and ban you. Porsche said they are not in the business of lining the roof with gold for investors, they are in the business of making cars for people who want to drive. Maybe they dont have the resources to do that, but its not true to say they can do nothing.

@@geroutathat I agree just comes down to an effort. I will admit I have about five Arc'Teryx items and I'm sure one of my two kids will continue to use them long after I'm gone. They are made that well.

@@chaosncheckt9356 yeah by all accounts a good company and great products, it just irks me when companies say they can't do anything instead of "sorry we just don't have the resources to fix that issue"

Yeah, I was looking for some pants on their website the other day and just like you said everything is out of stock. It’s not just ARC’TERYX tho there are so many supply chain issues now days with so many products it’s crazy a lot of raw materials are just out of stock like Scholler Dryskin for instance.

Awesome, ARC’TERYX is pretty legit gear!

Thank you they are a eBay no name brand, but they do get the job done we actually still use them a lot.

Thank you! Yeah this Ga clay can be a pain in the behind to get off of your vehicles under carriage!

I would say yes depending on how cold your area is. I wear mine when it gets cold here in GA.

That completely depends on your tolerances. It would be different for everyone.

It should last you many seasons to come! Great choice!

@@KRTLyfe exactly, will get hopefully a decade of use out of it! Layering with a atom LT underneath 😉

That is pretty cool, I wonder if they are available in the United States?

@@KRTLyfe Hi,I'm not sure.

Have you contacted the Sir Joseph company? I've been there to buy a new down jacket and the lady in the shop told me that someone from the US contacted the company.😀👍

I would say yes, especially with a merino shirt under it. TNF and ARC’TERYX have pretty good warranty programs from my personal experience. I have had multiple items repaired/ replaced by TNF and ARC’TERYX. I haven’t had such great experiences with Patagonia tho.

Thanks I never had to wash my old one. What ever type of DWR they applied to that generation of Beta AR was invincible! No joke it repelled water almost flawlessly till the last day I owned it.

or don't apply DWR as it it poisons the planet and humans and causes cancer.

@@KRTLyfe washing any expensive fabric is foolish I will never wash anything that is fragile and expensive just like you said you use that for 10 years without washing it I have never watched any of my clothes and I plan to keep it that way. I will only wash stuff like my boxers or socks and my pants every few months.

They are both size small.

It is called the Bandon tri climate jacket. It’s a good jacket for sure.

The shirt is from Wool & Prince I did a full review on it. the link is in the pinned comments.

I had the option to repair or replace. The lead time to repair was very long dude to various factors so I opted for replacement. In addition I wanted my Atom LT to have black lining inside and I was curious about the subtle design changes made. As far as fit an aesthetics go these jackets are better than the versions from 10 years ago. I hope they as just as durable!

If you have a ARC’TERYX store in your area I suggest trying them on to get the best fit for you. Most ARC’TERYX gear is designed to work with each other but to be on the safe side I would reference the ARC’TERYX website.

I have a lot of arcteryx stuff and the cerium is legit. I have a cerium SV that is super warm and weighs nothing. Probably should of got the LT and could of worn that more in the Carolinas.

Can this combos go to -30? 😅 But I will use the most for hiking in Indonesia.

I agree they are great! The shirt I am wearing is from Wool & Prince.

I pinned a link to the shirt and a vlog about it in the comments. It is Wool & Prince.

@@KRTLyfe Ah I’m sorry! I should’ve opened my eyes! Thanks a lot for replying!

I get super cold really easy which is why I got into ARC’TERYX over 10 years ago. I was on a mission to find the warmest outdoor gear I could find!

@@KRTLyfe that’s wild, I had no idea Georgia was like that. Well congrats regardless! I love my Arc gear and thus know it’s quality stuff.

They are all designed to be used layered or separately. I would give this system a 8 out of 10, when it comes to fully layered comfort. The TNF jacket was a little more comfortable but lacked the versatility of the ARC’TERYX system. I literally always use some part of the ARC’TERYX system on a regular basis all year long. So it is a better value in my personal opinion/ use case.

That is epic!

I haven’t used that specific product, I would just keep in mind it’s not a hard shell so I wouldn’t expect it to protect you in extreme cases like snowboarding, heavy down pour etc.

I think that depends on the fit you desire, I would reference the ARC’TERYX website and measure twice cut once.

Yeah “waterproof” is a tricky word. Even a submarine isn’t waterproof under the wrong circumstances/pressures.

I haven’t personally tested this brand, but 1620 apparently makes some really good work apparel. They have great reviews and are made in America.

Nah, the atom ar

@@willbuesseler8739 too warm to use outside of winter in most places

@@Seti12345 makes sense. I want mine for winter though.

@@willbuesseler8739 LT is great for all year round, AR is great in winter but not really anything else

Everything in the video is a size small.

All the information is in this vlog. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grt7i8WE19a2ZKs.html

Thanks for the reply! Kinda pricey but they look great and sounds like you get more wear out of them than cheaper shirts

I went with size small for both, I am 5’8” 140lbs. Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing!

@@KRTLyfe I am ordering small too, I appriciate the response.

I'm also 5'8" but 160 lbs. The small Beta AR fits but is tight at the hips. I wanted the medium but by the time I decided, REI was sold out of medium. Great jacket and bombproof in rain!

The layering system is, especially if you are engaged in some sort of activity.

My Beta AR is Black.

Like I pointed out in the video, the yellow North Face jacket I had wet out very easily even when it was new. I tried several times to reapply DWR to it and it never had the level of water repellence I wanted. My old Beta AR never wet out in the 10+ years that I had it but it is made from GTX pro which one of the heavier GTX variants. I think that is the biggest problem with GTX most people think of it as one thing. The reality is there are a few different “weights” of GTX and they have similar but different properties. That’s just my experience.

The other thing I also take into consideration is the face material on the jacket and how well it takes and keeps DWR. I’m not a textile engineer but from what I understand about GTX, once a garment wets out it can no logger “vent” water vapor from the inside outwards. I believe the issue with your garment and my TNF Dryzzel jacket was more so the facing material and then the GTX, but like I said I’m no Textile engineer so take my words with a grain of salt.

I’m wondering this too! Hope he answers :)

I have a atom LT and it’s perfect for low 70s and also warm up enough for low 40s

That really depends on a few factors, intended usage, environment, weather , your body’s comfort zone and intended activity levels while wearing the kit. I think of it like any other layering system. Base layer, mid layer ,extra insulation and shell. The Beta AR shell is going to have the least amount of warmth retention and you would always have something under it (at least a T shirt). So the shell would probably be comfortable for the average person in a temperature range from 80 ish down to the 60s. I have worn the Atom LT with a wool T shirt and been nice and cozy down to the 40s. The Atom Vest and LT ( either or with base layer) are what I use for winter running, cycling or hiking and I add the Beta AR for snow, wind, rain etc. If it’s really OMG cold (Freezing and below) . I do a base layer wool shirt, then the Atom vest with the Atom LT over it and the Beta AR over everything. Wearing that specific combination I have yet to be anywhere that I wasn’t comfortable enough for outdoor activity. Just for back ground, the original reason I got into ARC’TERYX was I learned to snowboard but I hated being cold. I get cold very easily, when I get cold I get nauseous and feel like I’m going to die. So I found what was considered back them the crème de la crème of outdoor gear.. ARC’TERYX and after all these years and adventures it has never let me down! Hopefully that answers your questions.

Temp is irrelevant with the gore as its just a shell, you could go up everest in that jkt, or cycle in a summer rain shower. Depends what's underneath. I use my atom for staggering around ski resorts after a night out with just a LS tee under it, 0 to -5. (is thats 30-40 in American?). As a belay jacket for ice climbing. Im skinny but its too hot for me to snowboard in, unless i'm somewhere crazy cold like finland or Japan.

@@evanbornmann1 Damn I wear a t shirt when it's 70 degrees

I had a pair of Salewa GTX boots that lasted me almost 10 years until the foam started top fail, I have a pair of Mountain Hardware GTX pants, I can’t remember the model, but they zip all the way up the leg. They are still going strong after many years and many adventures.

It was a warranty replacement, I just sent my jacket in for repair and they offered to replace it for a small fee.

Yes.

Thank you so much! My T shirts are made by a company named Wool & Prince. I actually did a review on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grt7i8WE19a2ZKs.html

Check out the pinned comment everything you need to know.

Just got a beta ar, 5'9 175 and I have LONG ARMS, and it fits like a dream got a size large also I have a somewhat broad chest

You might prefer a medium. I am 5’7 140lbs.

172CM 140lbs

Fit is great I am 5’8” 140 lbs went with small across the board.

I did a 10 year review on my Beta AR which was never washed. I washed my Atom LT on a regular basis. Both of the jackets were roughly 10 years old.

I’m with you non that. I don’t even wash my ski wear, just rotate it as it’s never as good again.🇬🇧

I don’t have any experience with new Columbia garments only the old ones and from what I recall they were okay but definitely not ARC’TERYX quality. Just to be transparent I do not “advertise” so to speak and am not affiliated with ARC’TERYX. I am a customer just like anyone else. Everything I review on my channel is paid for out of pocket, no freebies or any shadow marketing here! 😎 just our honest opinions to help people make educated purchases and save money and headache.

It is expensive anywhere in the world I think

Well when you are only spending $400 for a jacket what do you expect? This is why I always buy their highest end stuff and I always buy the highest end everything in life because if you buy low or middle end you are just screwing yourself in the long run and burning your money. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever buy middle of the barrel anything from any company always buy the highest quality flag ship model. If you’re buying a phone always buy the most expensive model.

Thanks for the comment, I’ve seen mixed post purchase reviews on the ARC’TERYX website with different items. I am not sure what variables are taking into consideration with these things. I wish I had a better answer, but I have no contact or affiliation with ARC’TERYX to give you a definitive answer. Fortunately or unfortunately I’m just a dude that purchased a jacket and made a review about it.

@@MobileAura "only $400"? Dude, some of us don't own a bank.

True to size because you will be layering with these. So you don’t want them to be too tight.

They are the older Etip gloves. They are okay for moderately cold days and last a few seasons. Definitely worth the money.

I would recommend measuring yourself and comparing that data to the information on the ARC’TERYX website.

A lot of people swear by Nik Wax, I’ve tried it on a few garments and have had eh results aka the garment never performed as well as new.

Etsy, it looks cool but it has already stopped working.

It appears to be a heat transfer. I haven’t tried to remove one but they do not come off during normal wear and washing.

According to some blogs I’ve read, delaminating is the Achilles heel of these types of jackets. Mine took a decade but it eventually began to fall apart. ARCTERYX replaced it after 10 years of use but I would rather it not fall apart in the first place. So yeah I agree with you. I wish these items lasted a lifetime.

No ARC’TERYX is an outdoor clothing manufacturer. Goretex is proprietary membranes developed by W. L Gore & Associates.

Yes, this gear is designed with layering in mind.

We agree, have had excellent experiences with ARC’TERYX.

You cant go wrong with a Beta AR it is a phenomenal bit of kit!
