Arc'teryx rain gear over hunting brands?

[MuleyFever]

I can get the Beta AR for $350 which is a little more than Kuiu, SG, Sitka and such but I hear good things about Arc'teryx. The one thing I cant find is the actual rating of the Beta for breathability and waterproofness. Looking for opinions on if its worth the extra cost to go to the Beta AR.

I use a beta AR. Certainly a level above most hunting apparel. Gortex Pro is extremely high grade stuff. That said, it’s stiff and loud as hell. For $350 I wouldn’t even consider anything else unless you are concerned with sound.

I agree. Arcteryx shells are top notch. No experience with the Beta AR, but I have an Alpha SV I’ve used for several years. Hunting, skiing, fishing. It’s a hardcore shell, but as mentioned, it’s not quiet.

My arcteryx gear is heads and shoulders above any Sitka or first lite I’ve ran, I loved my beta, second only to grundens for water tight ness.
