Question 1

I have a LEAF Cold WX Hoody Gen 2.1 in size S. What size BETA SL should I buy so I can comfortably layer it over the hoody?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. To find the best fit for the Beta SL Jacket, we recommend comparing your body measurements with our sizing chart & fit guide. If your measurements fall between sizes, we suggest sizing up to allow for additional room for layering. You may also want to consider ordering two sizes to compare the fit at home, as we offer free returns on purchases made through arcteryx.com. We hope this helps!

Question 2

Is the beta or beta sl good for ice and mixed climbing in the Canadian rockies?

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Nigel, the Beta and Beta SL can absolutely handle ice and mixed climbing in the Canadian Rockies. Both are waterproof, breathable GORE‑TEX shells with the mobility and weather protection those conditions demand. That said, if you’re spending long days on steep ice, dealing with spindrift, or pushing into harsher mixed terrain, you might appreciate the extra durability and feature set of the Beta AR or even the Alpha SV, which are built specifically for more severe, abrasive environments. It really comes down to how hard you plan to push the jacket, but yes — the Betas will get the job done, and the AR/SV will give you a bit more confidence when things get rough.

Question 3

¿El modelo que altura tiene y que talla lleva?

Rick, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hola, gracias por tu pregunta. El modelo que lleva la chaqueta Beta SL mide 183 cm y lleva una talla M. La chaqueta Beta SL tiene un corte entallado, ceñido al cuerpo pero con espacio para llevar capas ligeras debajo. Confiamos en que esta información te sea útil.

Question 4

I have a Beta SL and an Atom Hoody. I’ll be using these two pieces for my trip to Busan and Seoul, South Korea, in early December. Could you recommend how I should layer these two pieces for walking around the cities?

Blake · Accepted Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question. The Beta SL Jacket and Atom Hoody make a versatile layering system for city travel in Busan and Seoul. In cooler temperatures, wear the Atom Hoody underneath the Beta SL, using the Atom as your insulating layer and the Beta SL as your windproof and waterproof outer shell. If conditions are mild or you're walking for extended periods, you may find the Atom Hoody comfortable on its own, adding the Beta SL only when you encounter rain, wind, or cooler conditions. This layering approach gives you the flexibility to adapt to changing weather and activity levels throughout your trip while remaining comfortable.

Question 5

Wo kann ich eine DWR-Imprägnierung machen lassen.

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hallo, vielen Dank für deine Frage. Die Beta SL Jacke ist mit einer FC0-DWR-Beschichtung (Durable Water Repellent) versehen, doch im Laufe der Zeit muss diese erneuert werden. Wenn du feststellst, dass Wasser nicht mehr abperlt, empfehlen wir dir, die DWR-Imprägnierung mit unserem Nu Durable Water Repellent Spray erneut aufzutragen. Das kannst du ganz einfach zu Hause erledigen, indem du unsere Pflegehinweise befolgst:
Produktpflege: https://arcteryx.com/ch/de/help/product-care
Nu DWR-Spray: https://arcteryx.com/de/de/shop/nu-durable-water-repellent
Für optimale Ergebnisse empfehlen wir, die Jacke zunächst zu waschen und anschließend die DWR-Beschichtung gemäß den Pflegehinweisen erneut aufzutragen.

Question 6

Wie stelle ich die Wasserdichtigkeit nach dem Waschen wieder her wenn ich keinen Trockner habe

Helio, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hallo Kapuze, gute Frage. Das Trocknen im Wäschetrockner ist die empfohlene Methode, um die DWR-Imprägnierung (Durable Water Repellent) nach dem Waschen zu reaktivieren. Steht dir kein Trockner zur Verfügung, kannst du die Jacke auch an der Luft trocknen lassen; die wasserabweisende Wirkung wird dadurch aber möglicherweise nicht ganz so effektiv wiederhergestellt. Perlt das Wasser trotzdem nicht mehr ab, empfehlen wir eine neue DWR-Imprägnierung.

Question 7

What is the ISO or AATCC rating on the beta?  Are all seams taped?

Helio · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question. ISO 811:2018 specifies a hydrostatic pressure method for determining the resistance of fabrics to penetration by water. All our GORE-TEX items, including the Beta SL Jacket, have a 28,000 mm water column rating. All seams are fully taped on the Beta SL Jacket.

Question 8

would a beta sl jacket be better than the normal beta jacket for these conditions. Regattas that are colder, moderate to extreme hiking, and every day use. Which one would be the best for keeping me warm but not too hot and is waterproof yet breathable

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The Beta SL Jacket prioritizes lower weight, packability, and features pit zippers for easy venting. The Beta Jacket our most versatile GORE-TEX shell. The Beta SL may feel more comfortable during hikes thanks to its lighter construction and added ventilation, while the Beta Jacket offers greater versatility for everyday use. While both jackets are waterproof GORE-TEX shells which protect from wind and rain, neither jacket features any insulation on its own. The key to staying warm in colder weather will be layering accordingly. We recommend referring to our layering guide for more tips on staying warm: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/layering-guide/

Question 10

Which jacket is closest to the Beta/Beta SL jacket that has a 2-way zipper? I prefer GORETEX (PFAS-free) jackets with 2-way zippers so that my climb harness is tucked underneath (I know - unusual).

Luna · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thank you for your question! If you're looking for the jacket closest to the Beta Jacket and Beta SL Jacket that includes a 2‑way zipper, the best match is our Beta SV Jacket. It uses durable 3L GORE‑TEX PRO (ePE, PFAS‑free) and keeps the versatile design that the Beta line is known for. If you prefer something more climbing‑specific and ultralight, the Alpha SL is another option with a 2‑way zipper. It uses lighter 20D Hadron™ GORE‑TEX PRO ePE fabric and prioritizes packability over durability, similar to the lightweight packability of the Beta SL. We also offer free returns within 30 days, so you’re welcome to try both and keep the one that integrates best with your harness. Details here: https://arcteryx.com/us/en/help/returns. Hope this helps!
