I’m wondering if buying a AR or just a regular beta is worth it for everyday use outside of hiking. I’ve loved arcteryx jackets since I first saw them at 13, and now that 5 years have passed I’ve got the money to afford them. Unfortunately I’m located in a city where hiking/climbing isn’t readily available so if I were to buy a jacket it wouldn’t be used for its intended purpose (At least for a few years), but I am in desperate need for a nice jacket I’ll be able to use for while. Altogether I’m just wondering what you guys think about making a purchase like this, knowing it’s not something that will be used much for hiking. Any opinions are highly appreciated.

Thanks.
