The Beta LT is an Arcteryx classic mountain jacket made from the utterly dependable and incredibly durable Gore-Tex Pro fabric. Gore-Tex Pro is a totally waterproof and highly breathable fabric which still maintains its strength and durability.
The Beta LT has a hip length and ergonomic 3D patterning which provides an enhanced level of articulation and movement in a trim, athletic fit and is designed for all mountain activities where you need ultimate protection, maneuverability and minimum weight. This superb all-rounder is made with a very durable yet supple plain weave, N40p-X GORE-TEX Pro® 3L fabric giving high tenacity with a soft and supple feel.
Breaking down the code:
N = Nylon / Number = Denier / p = plain-weave / X= exceptional durability-to-weight ratio / GORE-TEX® Pro = Membrane / 3L= 3 Layer fabric
The Beta LT features the Arcteryx StormHood which is helmet compatible yet can be cinched down to fit your head without restricting vision and mobility. The main zip is a Watertight Vislon front zip which was the world’s first zip to pass the W L Gore extreme wet weather test. Two zipped hand pockets and an internal zipped pocket take care of storage duties. The Beta LT has a trim fit to maximise the breathability of the new Gore-Tex Pro Shell, basically the less air space between you and the fabric the better the performance.
This garment has the Arc'teryx “Trim Fit”. Trim fitting garments share motion-friendly traits with the “Athletic fit”, but are patterned with lower volume for reduced bulk. The trim fit is sized for a base layer and a trim synthetic or down filled mid-layer. Check out the link below for exact sizing measurements.
The new Beta LT with the improved Gore-Tex Pro fabric may well be the perfect all mountain jacket.
