Absolutely Perfect!

9 months ago
I bought this jacket before heading off on a long multi-day trek in the Scottish Highlands. There were plenty of days hiking in cold, rainy weather, so I needed a super lightweight, reliable, completely waterproof and breathable jacket to help get me through many 10-hour days of hiking on the trails in changeable weather. This jacket was perfect! It never let me down. Not once. I kept anticipating a leak, but I was bone dry every single day. And I never got that clammy feeling either. For me, the jacket is worth every single penny. The fit is perfect as well. I'm 5'5 and a curvy 128 lbs. I bought a size Med in the beautiful Black Sapphire color (love it!) and the fit is absolutely great. It's not tight and it allows for layering underneath, including wearing a slimmer down jacket or vest on colder days. I can't say enough good things about this Gortex packable shell.

Hooray for PFC-free!

10 months ago
I am so stoked that Arcteryx is now using PFC-free Goretex - an environmental and personal health necessity in my opinion - and the Arcteryx quality I count on remains. I love the interstellar color, it's such a fun and pretty shade that still feels neutral enough to pair with anything. After wearing a size medium Arcteryx rain shell for many years, I decided to size up to a large this time around so that I can comfortably fit my bulky sweaters underneath for prime PNW layering. It's definitely a bit oversized, but it's a much more comfortable fit for layering.

Not as waterproof as expected

10 months ago
Great fit & packability but I was disappointed to see it soaked through on my first rainy hike. I was much happier with my original Zeta that lasted years before I noticed the gore-tex degrading.

Response from Arc'teryx:

Customer Service
Hello there, we're sorry to hear that your new Beta SL Jacket isn’t meeting your performance expectations. This year, we updated the jacket with a new GORE-TEX material called ePE that is 100% PFAS free. As a result, you may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in jackets made with GORE-TEX ePE materials. However, you can rest assured that this does not affect the waterproofing of the internal GORE-TEX membrane itself.  To learn more about how to care for your jacket and re-activate the DWR when “wetting out” happens, check out: https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/help/product-care/

Weightless rain jacket

10 months ago
I've been using this jacket mainly for hiking and walking the dog. Keeps me very dry in the rain and I really appreciate the pit zips for venting. The material is weightless and comfortable, and the fit is classic. I am obsessed with the colour Tatsu and highly recommend purchasing it.

From the Peaks to the Streets ;)

Beta SL jacket is packable and lightweight jacket that is a good addition to your outdoor apparel. It excels in all the key areas: waterproofing, weight, durability, and comfort. Can be layered with sweater or long sleeves for more insulation. Whether you’re caught in a downpour or navigating through misty mountain trails, this jacket will keep you dry and comfortable without weighing you down. Pair with Gamma pants to complete the look. ;) Ordered size XS.

Light, packable all-mountain GORE-TEX ePE shell

Beta SL Jacket Women's

Made for alpine travel and mountain realities, the Beta SL Jacket – our lightest Beta – is carefully designed to deliver complete waterproof, windproof, breathable protection without sacrificing features or packability. Its next-generation GORETEX ePE membrane is light, thin, 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.
