Arcteryx Beta SL Hybrid Jacket

The Arcteryx Beta SL Hybrid Jacket is the most packable and supple jacket for use in emergency mountain conditions. Ideal for alpine climbers or backcountry skiers requiring a minimal jacket in the most lightweight and breathable Gore-Tex fabric. The Beta SL Hybrid Jacket has a hip length cut for ease of use with a harness and has been shaped with e3D - ergonomic three-Dimensional patterning that is designed to enhance a greater freedom of movement for sport-specific activities.

The main body of the jacket is made from compact and lightweight 2 Layer Gore-Tex with PacLite technology, which is the lightest fabric in the Gore-Tex range. This assists in reducing the overall weight of the jacket and also makes the jacket more packable. Supple 3 Layer Gore Tex with Gore C-KNIT Backer Technology is utilized in the high wear areas to increase the jackets' durability and enhance the feel of the fabric.

A helmet compatible StormHood has great adjustment, allowing for a good seal and will rotate with your head so your vision is never impaired. The hem has an adjustable drawcord to keep draughts out and to keep it located in place. The jacket has laminated and adjustable cuffs, to ensure a secure closure over your gloves and has Watertight pit zips to aid fast ventilation. Two hand pockets are generously sized for stuffing clothing, maps or guidebooks into.

Having bought Arc'teryx products before I was not disappointed with the beta jacket. Good quality, the jacket cut is more fired than competitors, so reduces the bulk that you normally have. Only gripe would be the need for an internal zipped pocket.

I must say here however that Facewest service was excellent and out performed some larger more high profile retailers.
