Beta Lt Jacket Women S Review

The beta sl hybrid from arc teryx is arguably one of the most useful and well made hardshell jackets we have tested.

Beta lt jacket women s review.

Weighing in at just 11 ounces the lt is the lightest option in arc teryx s beta line. Like the arc teryx beta ar jacket we love the feature set on the arc teryx beta lt. The beta lt s pockets are large and sit high enough to rest above the waist belt on a pack or harness. The arc teryx women s beta lt jacket is one that you will reach for season in and season out whether you re bagging peaks in the summer or hitting the skintrack come winter.

Instead consider the hiking specific zeta jackets. The combination of fabric and membrane create a rain jacket that s smooth and soft doing away with overbearing crinkly fabrics and unpleasant stickiness often associated with rain jackets. They remember your device s visit in the site and help to understand shopping behaviors and thus to improve our site or mobile app and provide ads and offers of interest. The sl in the beta sl hybrid s name is short for superlight and we think that s an appropriate designation.

Whether you re hitting the skintrack hard to maximize your pre work powder laps or ascending a storm battered peak the gore tex pro fabric keeps you dry through the wettest weather while offering exceptional breathability so you don t overheat. Further they enable you to like or recommend us on social media such as facebook twitter instagram pinterest and help you to rate and review our products. If you re most likely to reach for a rain jacket while out hiking the beta line may have too many added features. It adds just enough versatility and durability to the simpler lighter non hybrid sl making it a phenomenally lightweight and fully featured.

At 10 9 ounces for my women s small arc teryx lists it at 10 6 oz it s the lightest jacket in the beta lineup by a good margin the beta sv is 15 5 ounces the ar is 13 4 ounces and the lt is 11 1 ounces. They have opted for a dual fabric design that takes the durability and 3 layer components of a more advanced shell and upgraded the beta sl to the new. The arc teryx zeta lt is a lightweight 3 layer rain jacket built with the uber comfortable gore tex c knit backer. There is a women s version of the same name and it s exactly the same except for fit and color.

For low output activities atom ar men s women s read my review. For high output activities absolutely proton lt men s women s read my review along with beta ar it s one of my 2 arc teryx favorites. If you aren t expecting to experience any wet weather then cerium lt men s women s read my review can be a good alternat ive. Arc teryx currently offers the beta sl a non hybrid version but it is being phased out.

Hands on review of the beta sl hybrid women s. The main difference between the beta and alpha series is that this jacket features double handwarmer pockets instead of chest pockets. The following review tells our experience with the previous incarnation of the jacket.
