The Arc'teryx x BEAMS Blaze Beta Jacket introduces a vivid “Blaze” colorway applied to the minimalist alpine silhouette that has become a staple in technical outerwear. The design retains the streamlined structure of the original Beta Jacket while adding a high-visibility hue intended to stand out in both urban and outdoor environments. The jacket is constructed using an 80-denier face fabric combined with a lightweight PFC-free GORE-TEX ePE membrane designed to deliver waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. Inside, a GORE C-KNIT backer improves comfort against the skin while maintaining airflow. The technical shell also features articulated construction for ease of movement and a built-in [RECCO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-x-recco-stretch-belt) reflector that can assist search and rescue teams in emergency situations.
