Arc Teryx Beta AR Overpants
A waterproof, windproof and breathable hardshell overpant cut for mountaineering, skiing and rough mountain conditions. Articulated knees keep movement free across demanding terrain.
Arc'Teryx Beta AR Goretex Pro Jacket (scrub)
A GORE-TEX PRO hardshell for mixed mountain use, built with a tougher ePE fabric across high-wear zones and a lighter weave through the body to balance durability and packed size. It seals out wind and rain while staying breathable, and the helmet-compatible DropHood adds cover when conditions turn.
Arcteryx Zeta SL overpants
A superlight, packable GORE-TEX overpant meant as an emergency rain-and-wind shell for hiking and trekking. The trim, articulated cut keeps it breathable and easy to move in when the weather turns.
Axiom Waterproof Shell
A heavy-duty alpine shell developed with Aoraki Mount Cook Alpine Rescue staff for sustained exposure to snow, wind and freezing rain. A 140-denier face fabric over a four-layer Toray Dermizax system (a hydrophobic membrane backed by a hydrophilic interior) holds its waterproofing and moisture control even when saturated. The alpine-layering cut keeps movement free, with pit zips for venting and a Dual-Access chest pocket reachable beneath pack straps.
