Arc’teryx’s Beta Waterproof Lightweight Jacketis somewhat of an icon in outdoor circles; it currently sits in the number two spot in T3’sbest waterproof jacketguide. This is thanks to the combination of the jacket’s premium construction, lightweight materials, and the fact that it can be used for any purpose, from hiking to mountaineering.
“The Beta line is our most versatile line of Gore-Tex jackets, and the Beta Lightweight is the highest performance, most feature-rich and lightest weight (fabric) shell,” says Nelle Horsley, Apparel Designer at Arc’teryx, “The weight of the membrane is 50% lighter than the previous ePTFE membrane.”
