Arc’teryx Women's Beta SL Hybrid Jacket - Women's
Description
The Beta line from Arc’teryx equals versatility, designed to be used for a variety of activities in any conditions mother nature might throw at you. Our tester took to Colorado’s rugged wilderness to give the Beta SL a run for its money. Our tester raved about the fit and style of the Beta SL. The fit is athletic but loose enough to fit a thin layer underneath for additional warmth. Testers especially appreciated the length of the jacket; commenting, “Perfect length. It’s hard to find a rain jacket that isn’t too long or too short.” Utilizing both superlight N40r GORE-TEX and GORE C-KNIT creates a supple lightweight and waterproof shell that sheds water like a champ. Testers only gripe with the Beta SL was after a rain and a little exertion the inside of the jacket tends to get a bit sticky next to skin as is common with many rain jackets. Big underarm vents are the best defense against the sticky syndrome and to dump heat quickly when things start to heat up. With Arc’teryx’s smart design and use of versatile lightweight materials, you’ll have no excuse to leave the Beta SL at home.
