Designed with the vertical backcountry in mind, the Beta FL Jacket from ARCTERYX is outfitted with GORE-TEX Active Shell waterproof fabric that reduces weight without comprommising durability or breathability. The e3D anatomical fit enhances breathability while reducing weight and bulk, which also improves packability. Ultra-light #3 WaterTight Vislon center zip.

I wanted a lighter weight gore tex shell for the warmer months. The Arc'teryx beta fl fills the bill. Fit is fairly slim but not restrictive; I can fit a fleece or other insulated jacket under this with no problem. I am looking forward to seeing how far into the fall/winter I can use this

excellent jacket at a good price

 This is because Gore-Tex fabric technologies offer the best performance and durability in waterproof clothing.The Beta SL is lighter and feels thinner than most of Arc’teryx’s professional line jackets, but the water protecting concepts remain the same; they work.This jacket was designed with next-to-skin comfort in mind. The combination of fabrics works together to provide a waterproof barrier that simultaneously breaths and does not “clam-up” next to your skin

. is CONVENIENCE! Now, you could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag.

 Most likely, backpackers traveling in these regions pack light and carry small 45 — 55-liter backpacks.The Beta SL is a perfect travel companion in that regard because it 1.) takes up very little space and 2.) only weighs several hundred grams

. I am not sure why they made the video with no sound, but it still gives you a good idea of all of the Beta SL’s features in under two minutes..

Arc'teryx Beta SL Hybrid Review: Is It Worth Your Cash?

 They certainly make some of the best rain jackets that I have zipped up.Having a good rain jacket in your backpack is just as important as having shoes that fit or a sleeping bag that keeps you warm. But, the market is big and choosing the right one can be confusing.The fact is, there are a ton of rain jackets on the market

Welcome to my ARC’TERYX BETA SL HYBRID REVIEW.When it comes to producing top of the line waterproof shells, perhaps nobody does it better than Arc’teryx. They certainly make some of the best rain jackets that I have zipped up.Having a good rain jacket in your backpack is just as important as having shoes that fit or a sleeping bag that keeps you warm

) but will give up the bombproof protection of Gore-Tex Pro (the SL Hybrid uses standard Gore-Tex with C-KNIT and 2-layer Paclite Plus technologies). In the end, the Beta FL truly stands out with its lightweight yet uncompromised design. In terms of packability, Arc’teryx did not include a stuff sack or stuff pocket, but the FL compresses nicely into its own hood and can be cinched down to about the size of a 32-ounce Nalgene.  Key Design Features StormHood No hardshell is complete without a functional hood, and the Beta FL delivers with Arc’teryx’s tried-and-true StormHood

 The sizing allows ample room for a midlayer (my favorite this winter is the Patagonia DAS Light Hoody) but functions just as well over a baselayer, too. A drop-tail hem provides excellent coverage—I’ve found this especially nice when bending over to adjust my ski boots or rip my skins—and skillful patterning and gusseted underarms keep it in place when I’m reaching to adjust my hood or grabbing skis from my rooftop box. Finally, a drawcord at the hem and Velcro cuffs allow you to dial in the fit even further—and both are easily adjustable with gloves on.  In terms of sizing, the Beta FL is classified as a “trim fit” by Arc’teryx, but I’ve found it to be surprisingly roomy and generously sized, especially in comparison to other trim-fitting models I’ve worn like the now-discontinued Alpha SL

 But held up against Gore-Tex’s premium Pro, the Highline Stretch’s in-house BD.dry membrane isn’t as durable or protective, and the jacket lacks technical chops with non-hipbelt-compatible hand pockets and less of a performance fit. Serious mountain goers will want to stick with offerings from Arc’teryx and Patagonia, but the budget-priced Highline Stretch offers ample protection for most casual activities.

 for the men’s), which puts it on the lighter end of the spectrum in terms of hardshell jackets. For comparison’s sake, the Patagonia Pluma (which also uses Gore-Tex Pro and a 40D shell fabric) tips the scales at 12.9 ounces, and the versatile Beta AR (featuring a combination of 40 and 80D fabrics) is significantly heavier at 14.5 ounces

 A bit more weight is a reasonable trade-out for extending the life of this exceptional jacket. 

 WildSnow.com, she tests whatever gear she wants. She gives the WildSnow family of websites the feminine voice.

Spring is my favorite time to ski and the day promised to be a good one. Already 42 degrees, windless and warming in the early morning, I started out in a light wool top, knowing I’d heat fast from the climb. But weather can fluctuate faster than the Hemline Index. Having a reliable shell in your pack assures those changes will be manageable

 The fabric is nylon denier, plain weave with superior durability-to-weight ratio. Areas prone to abuse, such as shoulders, hips and lower sleeves are reinforced to increase durability. Storm hood is minimized in size to save weight but roomy enough to fit over a helmet (albeit snugly). Reflective strips on forearms and hips aid visibility on early morning starts and late evening finishes

Arc'teryx Beta AR Review: The Best Waterproof Jacket for Backpackers in History

Arc'teryx Beta FL Jacket | Blister

When the weather can’t make up its mind, the Rab Men’s Kinetic 2.0 Jacket eliminates the need for you to constantly stop and change layers. With the waterproof protection of a hardshell jacket and the flexibility and breathability of a softshell, you’ll stay comfortably cool and dry—no matter what the weather decides. A layer-friendly fit and technical features like harness-compatible pockets and adjustable under-helmet hood make the Kinetic 2.0 a go-to for a variety of fast-moving mountain pursuits.

OutdoorGearLab

The Rab Kinetic 2.0 is our review's most water-resistant softshell jacket. It blows the competition out of the water when the rain starts pouring, making it extremely useful for those who live in wet climates but who also want the enhanced breathability of a softshell layer. This is a very well-designed hybrid piece that effectively does the job of two jackets. 
This trim layer is pretty snug fitting, and the hood is designed to be worn under a helmet rather than over it. Sizing up would be a good idea if you like to wear warm insulating layers underneath; otherwise, we were very impressed with the performance of this softshell/hardshell hybrid jacket, though take note: while impressively water-resistant, the Kinetic isn't as waterproof as a rain jacket.

 But for $500, it’s definitely a souped-up option: The design is decidedly fashionable (as we’ve come to expect from Sweden-based Fjallraven), considerably more durable with a 60-denier polyester fabric, and heavier at 1 pound 0.6 ounces. Notably, the Eco-Shell also proved to be a lot more waterproof throughout our testing (Fjallraven gives it a 30K waterproof rating, which towers over the Rab's 10K rating). In the end, the lightweight and streamlined Rab is a better option for weight-conscious alpine climbers looking for a decently waterproof hybrid, but we’re big fans of the Fjallraven for shoulder-season hiking, skiing, and around-town use

0 performed excellently in light rain and offered a serious barrier against wind, but it showed its weaknesses in sustained wet weather. During a heavy downpour, the stretch-knit face fabric (by nature, more porous than true hardshell fabric) began to absorb water, forming wet spots on my midlayer underneath. In the end, a hybrid jacket like the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 is a great choice when you’re anticipating mild sprinkles or ice drips, but it’s no substitute for the all-out protection of a dedicated hardshell

2 in. from nape to hem), and is $50 cheaper at $230. Without additional protection in high-exposure areas you get a bit less waterproofing than the Kinetic Alpine (that said, Rab gives the minimalist jacket the same 10K rating) and the lack of helmet-compatible hood will be a deal-breaker for some. But if you’re looking for durable yet lightweight (10

0 is on the lower end. Rounding out the build, reinforcements across the hips, arms, shoulders, and hood provide additional protection, and water-resistant zippers, taped seams, hem adjustments, and a large helmet-compatible hood keep leaks at bay. I took Rab’s hybrid jacket hiking in Southern Argentina, where we experienced ideal testing conditions in typical Patagonian weather. The Kinetic Alpine 2

3 ounces for the women’s version and features durable 40-denier nylon with a Gore-Tex membrane. This hardshell fabric is inherently less breathable than the Rab’s stretch-knit softshell (and less comfortable, too), but Gore-Tex is as good as it gets in terms of waterproof/breathable protection (Arc’teryx also added pit zips to help you dump heat during high-output activity). At $400 the Beta LT is more of an investment than the Kinetic Alpine 2.0, but the full-on wet-weather protection and premium materials will be worth it for many
