"Arcteryx hardshells are expensive but are definitely a cut above the rest."

How Guide Pick™ Works

Step 1
Step 1

The guides over at RMI collectively spend over 10,000+ days a year on the world's highest mountains, climbing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet. They put their gear and apparel through the wringer. This stuff is their work wear and they simply will not tolerate inferior gear.

Step 2
Step 2

At the end of the climbing season, guides are given a survey to find out what gear they are using and why it is their favorite. We don’t often get complete agreement but we do get alignment and by looking at the data, a few clear winners rise to the top in each category.

Step 3
Step 3

We take those winners, and stamp them with the Guide Pick™ logo on our site. We also compile this wonderful little document, which you can use to see top contenders, gear advice, Guide Quotes, and more.

Excellent thus far

I've been looking at a Beta AR for backpacking for a couple years now. I finally went ahead with the purchase and so far I'm thrilled. Only one wet trip so far but it did a great job.

Last Shell For Maybe Ever

I really hard a hard time pulling the trigger on a $600 jacket. I'm not a hardcore climber but I do have some upcoming climbs and I hike and backpack a lot. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and decided on the Beta AR. Glad I did. It's not been in the mountains yet but has seen multiple days of heavy rain and wind and shed all of it better than any jacket I've had. This may be the last shell I buy. Again, the Guide's Pick was spot on.
