Arc'teryx Beta LT vs Filson Hyder Quilted Jac-Shirt

I'Ll go into that in the fabric section, so it's designed primarily for hill and mountain use. It's tough! It's durable! It's lightweight! It's highly...

I own a few products by Filson, all nicely made and quality workmanship. This jacket appears to be well made, time will be the test of longevity on this piece. I wouldn’t suggest this jacket for any rugged outdoor use. Definitely nice for light duty and around town work

So this size large fits me beautifully to keep the weight down. Our Tech's have kept the features down. So don't expect a lot of bells and whistles wi...

its perfect for those cooler mornings but doesn't leave you overheating when the sun comes up.

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.

This jacket does everything I want a Fall jacket to do. Primaloft keeps me warm, the durable outer material is great for days when you’re out and about, and it looks sharp too. I’m 6’3, 210 lbs and a large is slightly long in the sleeves but overall fits very well.

I’m a size 36 waist, which sometimes suggests a size L, and I sometimes find myself between Arc sizes with broader cut pieces like the Fission SV or LEAF Cold WX LT fitting me better in a L. Certain fleeces like the Delta LT and Kyanite LT also fit me best in a L, so I had some concerns the Acto FL might be a bit too baggy, but it is a very trim cut piece and ultimately fits exactly how I wanted it to.

Based on Filson's size chart, this means I should wear a small in their jackets (let's ignore the fact that I'm slightly taller and slightly heavier than the "average" and yet require a "small").
