We find that day hikes or backpacking trips with lighter packs in fair conditions are where this jacket excels.
Arc teryx beta lt hybrid jacket review.
Two types of gore tex on the arc teryx beta lt hybrid jacket make a supple durable waterproof breathable rain shell that s super lightweight and packs down small for backcountry trips.
Another option in arc teryx s superlight category is the zeta sl built for summer hiking and trekking the zeta sl lacks the strategically placed 3 layer gore tex of the beta instead opting for 2 layer gore tex with paclite plus throughout which.
Arc teryx s beta sl hybrid is a versatile and weather worthy shell designed to be used for a variety of activities.
While we prefer full 3 layer rain jackets like the arc teryx zeta lt for wilderness backpacking expeditions they re simply more durable and reliable over longer periods of time the beta sl hybrid would work well for folks who aren t experiencing terribly rainy weather.
