Beta lt jacket review.

Sliding in just below arc teryx s popular beta ar in their hardshell lineup is the light but tough beta lt. 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. The arc teryx zeta lt is a lightweight 3 layer rain jacket built with the uber comfortable gore tex c knit backer. The longer back length for example extends coverage and fits comfortably under a harness.

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. The zeta sl designed as an emergency shell feels more like a lightweight layer than a rain jacket but don t let that fool you this jacket uses gore tex paclite plus to. The sl in the beta sl hybrid s name is short for superlight and we think that s an appropriate designation. If we could only have one rain jacket for a wide range of applications this would be it.

Versatility is the name of game here with the jacket being a class option for skiers mountaineers climbers and hikers. 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. One of the coolest things about the beta lt is that it s an effective all rounder when it comes to wintery mountain activities. For low output activities atom ar men s women s read my review.

Other versions and accessories arc teryx makes the zeta lt which is similar in overall design but uses a 3l gore tex fabric instead of the lighter 2l gore tex paclite plus used in the zeta sl. Like the arc teryx beta ar jacket we love the feature set on the arc teryx beta lt. If you re most likely to reach for a rain jacket while out hiking the beta line may have too many added features. 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.

The main difference between the beta and alpha series is that this jacket features double handwarmer pockets instead of chest pockets. 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. The beta lt s pockets are large and sit high enough to rest above the waist belt on a pack or harness.
