It's hard to plan for your trip when the forecast says "a 30% chance of showers." You might escape without getting rained on at all, or you might get poured on for half an hour. Insure yourself against changing weather with the Arc'Teryx Beta SL jacket, a compressible raincoat that provides weather protection for hikers who don't need a laundry list of mountaineering-specific features. 


The Beta SL uses 2.5-layer GORE-TEX® PacLite® fabric, which is as light and packable as its name implies. The jacket is intentionally and unapologetically not climbing-specific; rather, it is designed for those of us who usually don't find ourselves wearing harnesses and helmets in the rain. The shape and volume of the hood, as well as the layout of the pockets, is adjusted accordingly.

Reviews:

I've had this jacket since the summer of 2012 and wear it constantly. It is my go to shell. I have worn the jacket for wind protection, rainy down pours, and snow sports. It has performed well in all conditions. What I love it that the jacket is very lightweight and you just have to adjust your layers underneath based on your body. I do have a size Lg to accommodate layers for winter, the jacket is a bit large if I'm wearing it by itself. The only improvements I would make is color of trim. I have a coffee color and the trim is yellow. The jackets would look brand new but the trim picks up dirt and doesn't come clean. There are some times when I wish I had some pit zips, but I usually just adjust my layering, and the jacket does breathe very well. All in all, great for all occasions.

Love this lightweight waterproof jacket.

This jacket is perfect for those maybe it will rain, maybe it won't days. When I throw it in my pack, it takes up next to nothing for space, but if it starts to rain, the jacket provides full blown protection from rain and wind. The jacket has a very simple, clean line. The fabric is nice and soft and light. The hood provides good protection and is adjustable. The velcro sleeve adjustment is a nice touch. The Gore-tex packlite fabric does a good job handling rain and is nicely breatheable. There are no pit zips on this jacket. Overall, this is my go to jacket for unpredictable weather. I belong to a group called mountaintechs. I get to test outdoor clothing through this program.

Super desigen fashionable light jacket

Arcteryx beta SL jacket is a fashionable and great design. It is thin and light enough for an unloaded hike. I am 5'5'' 55kg with size M is perfect. Performance of the waterproofing is also good. Love it so much.
