Arcteryx beta lt hybrid review.
Arc teryx s beta sl hybrid is a versatile and weather worthy shell designed to be used for a variety of activities.
I like the added pit zips on this one over the beta sl as well as the large collar.
Featuring a compelling mix of 3 layer gore tex pro waterproofing and 12 2 ounce weight we tested the jacket on everything from a remote backpacking trip along the southern patagonia icefield to a couple seasons of backcountry and resort skiing in the pacific northwest.
February s low altitude snow accumulation was followed by the more typical rainfall of the oregon coast range during my trip out to the alsea falls recreation area snowmelt dripped from the trees above doubling the deluge of precipitation flooding the snow packed trail engorging the alsea river and making for some.
Gear review of the arc teryx beta sl hybrid origins.
The beta lt hybrid was my first arc teryx piece and since then i have replaced all of my other technical layers with arc.
