Packable and lightweight, the women's Arc'teryx Beta SL is an excellent all-around Gore-Tex® PacLite® jacket and an ideal emergency layer for hikers and trekkers.

With user-friendly features like large handwarmer pockets, a trim-fitting hood and dropped rear hem the women's Beta SL is great to have along when the weather turns nasty
2.5-layer Gore-Tex PacLite is engineered specifically to be light, packable and more breathable than other 2- or 3-layer Gore-Tex fabrics
A waterproof membrane is laminated to the shell fabric and then covered by a thin, durable protective coating made of an oleophobic (oil-hating) substance
Light and compact fabric combines durable wind- and waterproofness with exceptional breathability
Very small seam allowances increase breathability and suppleness and decrease weight; all seams are sealed for complete protection
Laminated, watertight front zipper features an inner laminated draft flap; chin guard protects skin
Gusseted underarms ensure unhindered movement and let jacket remain in place when arms are raised
2 hand pockets
Features watertight laminated pocket zippers, laminated hem drawcord tunnel and laminated, die-cut rip-and-stick wrist closures
Droptail hemline is higher in front for mobility and a bit longer in back for extra coverage and protection

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket - Women's:

For the price, I was expecting all the stops. It seems like a great jacket, nice color not too pink ;) but I guess you'd have to pay double for the pit-zips version. That would help tremendously with ventilation. Otherwise, it's keeping the wet out just fine!

Comments about Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket - Women's:

I've been using this jacket for two years now and am very satisfied with it. I use it in a variety of sports, activities and conditions, but primarily for mountaineering and backpacking.

The highlights:
-lightweight
-packable
-durable
-comfortable
-well-fitting
-breathable

After two years of use, the jacket is still in great shape: all the seams and high-wear areas are completely intact. Indeed the jacket still likes fairly new despite heavy use. It breaths well and is completely waterproof and I like how the pockets are high enough so as to not be caught behind my backpack waist strap.

The reason that I give the jacket a 4-star review is because I really wish it had pit-zips. Another nice addition would be a a cord that allows you to tighten the area around the neck. The jacket currently has strings allowing you to tighten the hood around the face, but when it is cold I can feel heat escaping out around my neck and it would be nice to be able to cinch this area down.

I don't have any complaints, but just feel these changes would make a rock-solid product a perfect one. If Arc'teryx made these two changes, the jacket would be an absolute 5-star product.
