New Mexico High Desert 👍🏾

8 months ago
This is my second Beta SL Jacket. When I last bought one, it had a different name. I live in the high desert of NM. This is a desert, but a high desert; elevation 5,300 ft to 5,800 ft. Winters are 28 F low to 47 F high. The Beta SL is my outer layer, the mid layer is an Atom Vest and next to skin is a dress shirt or a base layer. Be sure to think of what you want to fit underneath the Beta SL. I got a medium, but I am 5' 9" and weigh 140 pounds. I need room for a mid-layer, base layer (next to skin) and maybe a concealed carry weapon when hiking on mountain trails. I love the Beta AR, but it is more suited for Chicago or Denver; much colder environments. Excellent fit even with one size too large and the jacket is very suitable/attractive even for around the office wear. Gore Tex is ready for New Mexico snow, sleet or rain. Very satisfied with the fit 👍🏾

Beta SL Jacket FTW in the rain...

a day ago
Compared to previous Beta versions, it's lighter, more form fitting, and keeps you amazingly dry in the rain. Took it out for a spin while walking our puppy in the rain and the top half of my body was 100% dry.

Unwelcome Changes all around.

10 days ago
I've owned several Beta SL's over the years along with a ton of other Arc outerwear and had to purchase everything again after we lost all our gear in a recent break-in. It seems this new Beta SL has received some "updates" to the design that I don't prefer including an even larger hood - I don't typically use this jacket with a helmet, so an even bigger hood isn't a welcome change for me as I felt like even the previous hood was plenty oversized. Also there seems to be more room in the body than before (another unwelcome change). The jacket feels more boxy with extra fabric where it wasn't needed, like Arc's trying to fit more body types than a size Medium should accommodate, which just means a jacket that fits worse. I've recently purchased a Gamma MX, Beta SL, Rho top and bottom, Kyanite Hoody and Gamma Lightweight and a Cerium down jacket and I can say that the fit has negatively changed on both Gammas, the Beta and the Kyanite and the Cerium which also got a downgrade to lower quality fabric along with it's worse fit. I don't know if Arc's just lost it's way, or if being purchased by a huge overseas conglomerate grabbing at all the dollars it can get has finally ended the reign of Arc'teryx as a core outdoor brand, but something's up and it's not good

Nahtverklebung sowie Service mangelhaft

a month ago
Die Jacke macht auf den ersten Blick einen sehr guten Eindruck, angenehmes Tragegefühl und gute Funktionalität. Leider ist die Qualität als nur Mangelhaft anzusehen. Verwendet man den Hacken zur Aufhängung und die Taschen lösen sich schon nach 1.5 Jahren sichtbar die Naht am Nacken und in der Tasche. Der Service zur Reparatur ist sehr schwierig, umständlich und nicht vertrauenswürdig. Man muss die Jacke auf eigene Kosten in die Schweiz schicken, da Arcteryx nur seinen eigenen Reparaturservicepartner akzeptiert. Die Internetseite die impliziert, dass in Vertriebsgeschäften die Jacke zur Reparatur abgegeben werden können sind fehlleitend. Nur zwei Läden im DACH Raum können das. Alle anderen schicken es dann auch nur per Post in die Schweiz. Auch wenn der Service schnell antwortet, sind sie leider unfähig Kundenwünsche -wie eine Adresseänderung- nach einer Zusage auch umzusetzen. In Summe, wer alle 1.5 Jahre seine Jacke tauschen möchte soll zugreifen, alle die, die bei diesem Preis hochwertige und langjährige haftende Qualität erwarten, vielleicht eher Abstand nehmen.

Again awesome

a month ago
Perfect fit for me. 5’9 and 165. Size M. This was a warranty replacement after having my original one for 13 years. The zipper seam came apart. I received a quick Warranty voucher. Great water proof layer jacket for skiing and cold mountain hikes/wet runs. The product and the company have made me a lifetime fan.

Great Lightweight Rain Jacket

a month ago
The Beta SL has quickly taken over as my go-to rain jacket. The extra fit customizations and under-arm vents really kicks it up a notch. I also love the light-weightness of the jacket which makes packing it easy. It's a no brainer to just throw one of these into your pack whenever you're facing (or might face) inclement/temperate weather.

C'est cher mais ça vaut le coup !

a month ago
Certe cette veste n'est pas donnée, mais lorsqu'on la porte sous la pluie on comprends ce qu'on a payé. Elle est très bien ajustée, et est le parfait complément de mon Atom lorsque le vente et/ou la pluie surviennent. Je l'ai testé sous un épisode de pluie méditerranéen particulièrement violent, mélé à de grosses bourasques de vents, le haut de mon corps était confortablement au sec et au chaud. Les manches sont un peu longues, mais au final c'est également un avantage car elles protègent la veste portée en dessous. A voir dans la durée, mais pour le moment c'est juste parfait !

Light, packable all-mountain GORE-TEX ePE shell

Beta SL Jacket Men's

The Beta SL Jacket – our lightest Beta – is built for mountain realities. Highly versatile, it’s carefully designed to deliver complete waterproof, windproof, breathable protection without sacrificing lightweight packability. Its innovative GORE-TEX ePE membrane is light, strong, and PFC free. C-KNIT backer technology improves comfort and breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood protects without compromising vision, pit zippers ventilate, and a RECCO reflector can aid in search situations.

This product is free of intentionally added PFAS.

The new ePE membrane technology is lighter and thinner, but just as strong and durable as the materials we used before.   You may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in products with ePE membranes, but rest assured this does not affect the waterproofing of the membrane itself. If you notice the fabric wetting out faster than you’d like, simply wash the jacket and dry it to remove the oil contamination and bring the DWR back to its full power.

Beta

Versatile: high performance for diverse activities and conditions.

Adjustable StormHood™

The StormHood™ provides complete coverage with a unique design that adjusts to pivot with your head and maximize your field of view.

WaterTight™ zippers

The WaterTight™ zippers’ reverse-coil design creates a secure seal that weighs less than flapped closures, won’t collect snow, and minimizes snagging.

Embedded RECCO® reflector

RECCO® reflectors can help ski patrollers and mountain rescue teams utilizing RECCO® detectors more quickly locate a lost or buried person.
