Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket
Arc'teryx
$400.00 – $450.00
The Beta SL uses 3-layer GORE-TEX with ePE membrane in a 13.4 oz package with pit zips, a helmet-compatible StormHood, and Arc'teryx's famously clean construction. It is the benchmark lightweight mountain shell for hikers who want one jacket for everything.

Consensus
Don't buy this if…
- Skip it if you hike a few rainy days a year, since a $150 shell covers casual use fine.
