The hoods are not impeding me at all. I'Ve got a good peripheral vision. Looking up sat in the bottom of the lake and see what's going on, keep protec...

So the btrlt is a lightweight fully waterproof three-layer gore-tex performance jacket with a pfc free dwr. It's been designed for all-round mountain ...

These things although are 40 deniers so far have proven to be able to be put through their paces and are great jackets. I dont own an alpha sv because im not an ice climbing but i think thats for different discussion. Id also say my gamma lt and gamma mx should last about a decade, the lt less so than the gamma mx for obvious reasons but i only really use it for summer trad climbing so it doesnt get too much use.

Awesome Jacket of the gods and angels! Nice active Fit with Goretex Pro Seal! Even better I bout it on sale! Fast delivery! Thank you Guys! Will keep an eye for more of Arcteryx Sale!

I also frequently use this as a casual piece when the weather is not clear and really dig the longer length / trimmer athletic fit / smaller hood. In all honesty, I’m the type of user who isn’t hard enough on their gear to require the robustness of the Beta AR, I’m currently only doing weekend hikes so being super UL isn’t my religion, I only have hooded midlayers so I was concerned about the Beta AR hood (though I admit it’s cool), I don’t deal with a lot of snow so having something as bomber as an SV would be overkill, I don’t climb so I don’t gravitate to the Alpha line, I like pit zips so I didn’t go with the Beta LT/FL (though I almost did), I really like the quieter/softer C-Knit even if it means I have to wash it more (helps with using this more casually), and it’s actually pretty packable as I compared it to the Zeta SL and found it folds down nearly as much in my pack.

Arcteryx make the best jackets. This is my second Beta LT after giving my first one to a good friend. Excellent product, kept me warm and safe during several mountain ultra marathons.

I live in the Tacoma/Seattle area and it’s easily my most used piece. With temperatures never dipping very low here year round I find myself grabbing it often for my backpacking trips over the cerium LT (haven’t tried the SL) and it packs down fairly well. Ideal temperatures for me anyway seem to be high 40s and low to mid 50s. Decent DWR as well.

However, at the moment (just before the season..) it's just about impossible to find a good deal on these as all last season stocks are sold out (in my size "M" at least). Hence I've been looking at 2nd hand market and coming to terms with an ugly-looking yellow Belta LT (even if yellow raincoats are a bit "cooler" after Dark).

The new goretex most rugged is through the sleeves, upper back, and hood, the standard pro (most breathable) makes up the rest of the jacket, and the recco sensor is on the back of the hood nicely hidden. A nice touch is that the logos are stitched!.
