Arc'teryx Beta SL Jacket M men's hard shell jacket

The Beta SL jacket from Arc'teryx is the lightest and most compressible men's Gore-Tex shell in the Beta line, designed to provide total protection against the elements without adding weight to your backpack during mountain hikes. Made with the innovative Gore-Tex ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane free of PFAS, this jacket ensures superior waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance while reducing carbon footprint through the use of recycled and bio-based materials. The C-Knit™ backer technology makes the fabric soft to the touch and highly breathable, enhancing comfort against the skin, while the underarm zippers allow for quick ventilation during more intense efforts. The StormHood™ hood is helmet-compatible and adjustable to provide full coverage without limiting visibility, while the integrated RECCO® reflector adds an important safety element for emergency rescue operations. The structure features a slim fit with articulated sleeves for unrestricted mobility, adjustable Velcro cuffs, and a practical pocket system that includes two hand pockets and an internal chest pocket. Weighing only 340 grams, the Beta SL replaces the previous Beta LT and Beta Lightweight models, confirming itself as the ideal choice for those seeking maximum protection with minimal weight. Made according to bluesign criteria, this jacket combines Arc'teryx's technical excellence with a concrete commitment to environmental sustainability.
