Using two types of Gore-Tex fabric – the first being the updated superlight N40r with Paclite Plus technology; the second being Gore C-Knit Backer technology – Arc’teryx has ingeniously designed the Beta SL Hybrid for optimal performance despite the minimised weight.

The result? Much more than just a waterproof, windproof, breathable jacket.

N40r guarantees the jacket’s packability, while C-Knit Backer reinforces the high-wear areas such as the shoulders, underarms, elbows and midriff.

Arc’teryx’s own technology comes into play as well. WaterTight armpit zippers further enhance ventilation, and the adjustable StormHood guarantees you full coverage without obstructing your peripheral vision (and is helmet-compatible).
