L6 | Hardshell Jacket

To the point: Best rain jacket I have ever owned. 6'1", 200lbs and the L fits me ideal with layers. Balked at the $650 price, but after buying one on sale I immediately bought another + A6 pants. Because all my fav clothing items seem to become discontinued in life. This gore-tex material is light, soft (quiet) and utterly waterproof. Zippers and pockets are well designed and placed, without excess. Fabric has a weight savings and high packability factor over ruggedness.

Pretty excited to have a full layering system now and this jacket keeps me dry for sure. Currently I only use it for dog training in the rain but I'll really be putting the jacket through the works soon as I get out for the camping season! FWIW I love the A6s and A5s for dog training with all the pockets as well as the materials when it comes to working dogs jumping on me all the time..

For me the fit is perfect and finding nice clothes as a tall guy is really tough! I'm 6' 6" about 205-215 depending on the CrossFit vs. cookie intake. Everything I get from beyond is a large long.

No doubt it will last as well as some of my other layers that I've already brought through hell and back overt the past 4 years or so. When I buy from beyond I expect it to be the last item I buy and worth the investment.

Absolutely love this coat fits well nice and light

My best choice of lightweight rain jacket

Seriously a tough jacket with vent zips that make it easy to get to your pistol holster in poor weather...Think it's better than Arcteryx and others but I haven't gotten soaked yet...

Have used this waterproof shell in very wet work conditions. No damage from abrasion, has been hand washed multiple times and retreated once and is good as new. Very impressive.

Recently purchased 3 A6 rain jackets one XXXL in Multicam a little too big in the sleeves . Bought a second in black XXL fit is excellent and repels rain and wind plus is warm in foul weather. So happy with second jacket in XXL in black I ordered another one as I wanted to have a spare in case they stopped making that style . Made in the USA they are the best jackets I have purchased!

This rain jacket seems very well made. Its light enough for backpacking, which was my intended use, yet feels like if is quite durable as well. I also noticed it actually seems to breathe, unlike other rain gear I’ve worn. Overall I’m very pleased with this jacket.

This is possibly the best jacket I've ever owned. I live in Costa Rica and even though we are in the dry season there are still a few places where it constantly rains and this jacket has worked like a charm. The humidity here is crazy but I have not felt as bad when wearing this jacket.

Well made, recommend to buy on discount.
Gore-Tex fabric is 3 layer laminate and feels sturdy and well made.
Stitches are well done and waterproofed even with extras.
Pocket zippers are glued and waterproofed.
Impressive attention to details.

Giving 4 stars only because chest pocket zipper seems to be glued with fabric not being fully stretched and this caused permanent wrinkles in pocket area.

Great quality, great jacket

Absolutely fantastic rain coat and 100% made in the USA. THE whole coat is constructed of the highest quality possible materials and every part of the design is smart and functional. On top of all that, it looks really nice too!

The A6 line is perfect for wearing over warming layers. The zippers, stitching and materials are all top notch and will serve you well in the mountains whether it's a warm wet rain or in the snow over insulating layers.

Recently picked up the A6 Rain Jacket from Beyond, and I am more than happy with the product that I received now that I’ve had a chance to test it. Material is high in quality as is the hardware that’s used. Fit is true to size as well and still goes over insulated layers with ease. Large vent zippers help vent off sweat and keep you dry in colder weather. 100% recommend.

Quality Built Great Value for a Goretex product.

Outstanding rain jacket, true to size and exceptionally well made! Good fit for layering underneath and happy to support American manufacturing.

It's the best JACKET.

Waterproofing hasnt failed in heavy rain, durable jacket with room for layering. Good.

Love the jacket. Fit is perfect. Quality is top notch. I get lots of compliments on the jacket.

Works great in heavy rain and wind. Kept me dry when used as a top layer in snow.

Worth every dollar. So far it’s held up in low 20 degrees and rain in NY and PA. I have complete faith it will hold up in lower freezing temperatures. Super flexible and does not snag on clothes under the jacket.

Lightweight rain jacket, quality is excellent as always. Own several pieces of Beyond Clothing and have been very happy with it. Wish, more clothing in larger sizes XXXL :)

What more is their to say. The A6 rain jacket is quality beyond reproach. This is the 2nd A6 that I have owned, the first still keeps the rain out but is a little tight on me now, so I decided on a bigger size. Over the years the A6 has kept me dry in a variety of conditions in the Northwest. I have used the A6 and the A6 pants on a trip overseas and thankfully they didn’t disappoint. The zippers and seams are always perfect, if you need a lightweight durable rain jacket this is the one.

Excellent jacket however the front zip does not have a storm flap either inside or outside the zipper. I have been in downpours for several hours several times with this jacket and the only place I have been wet is behind the front zip. Would be perfect with some sort of flap for the front zip. Otherwise an outstanding jacket. Really like the size zips that allow me to access pockets of fleece underneath vs pit zips. Zipper pulls are a great design for gloves.

Was just out in a downpour working in the backyard. Kept the rain out and plenty of venting to keep from getting too hot. Well made and like the zipper pulls with gloves. Good jacket, pleased with my purchase.

I’ve been searching on and off for an American made rain jacket in a tall size.

A few weeks ago my insomnia kicked in and I was lying in bed at 2am shopping on my phone and found this jacket on sale for $200. Done! Next morning my wife, who gets emails on card purchases, says “were you shopping in the middle of the night?”

Jacket arrives, really nicely made, well cut, and long (as advertised). I am prepared for the next hurricane.

6'6", 225lbs, and bought a large long. Had a chance to finally get this out in poor weather - extremely happy. Been looking for a new rain jacket for both personal and professional use with the military, and this certainly fit the bill. Wore it in an odd winter storm with warm temperatures, rain, and high humidity with a mountaineering softshell pant to compare, and not only did it stay bone dry, but even with the humidity I stayed very comfortable. Didn't even get to the point of using the side vents. Wrist closures are simple, easy to use even with gloves, and worked beautifully. Hood cinched down very nicely and still had great peripheral vision.
Kept my phone in the chest pocket, zero moisture. Checked all the pockets and seams after use and was perfectly dry on the inside, and any perspiration evaporated or vented very quickly.
Very fun to watch the water bead up on the jacket and literally roll off - I'm sure someday it'll need a DWR treatment but mission accomplished on that so far.

My assessment - there may be more weatherproof jackets out there (storm hoods, etc) but you can tell this was made for people who need to be outside when it's wet, and don't have a choice but to keep going if they get wet. Keeps the rain out, breathes well, internal moisture evaporated super fast, and keeps you going. Highly recommend.

The A6 Rain Pant is a lightweight and highly packable GORE-TEX® pant designed for static protection against wind and rain. Sized to be worn over mid-layers, good gear at all.

It’s that time of year again - wet, cold, windy. The A6 jacket protects against all of these when donned with layers. An excellent product. Highly recommended.
