All round mountain jackets don’t come much better than this, 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 SV has a hip length and ergonomic 3D patterning which provides an enhanced level of articulation and movement in a regular fit designed for all mountain activities where protection, maneuverability and minimum weight is paramount. This exquisite all-rounder is made with a very durable yet supple plain weave, N80p-X GORE-TEX Pro 3L fabric giving high tenacity with a soft, supple feel.
Breaking down the code:
N = Nylon / 80 = Denier (yarn thickness) / p = plain-weave / X= exceptional durability-to-weight ratio / GORE-TEX Pro = Membrane / 3L= 3 Layer fabric
The Arcteryx StormHood is helmet compatible yet can be cinched down to fit your head without restricting vision or mobility, adjustments are easily made with or without gloves thanks to minimal Cohaesive cordlocks. Pit zips speed ventilation, and the articulated regular fit with e3D patterning not only allows you to move it also comfortably accommodates warmer layers. 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.
If you head into the mountain regularly and like to get up close and personal with the rough stuff, then this is the jacket for you.
