Arc’teryx just released the brand new Arc’teryx Beta SL rain jacket<\/a> – their lightest Beta rain jacket to date. This summer I’ve been testing it while hiking in heavy thundershowers<\/a>, and it’s performed beautifully. It’s kept me bone dry, is comfortable to wear, and has all of the features that I look for in a solid rain jacket.<\/p>\n

Arc’teryx is also making environmental strides with the Beta SL by eliminating the use of forever chemicals (PFCs) that are almost always present in rain gear. <\/p>\n

But the Arc’teryx Beta SL isn’t cheap. At $500, it’s one of the most expensive rain shells on the market. That leads to the question – is it worth the price?<\/p>\n

In this Arc’teryx Beta SL review, I’ll share what I love, what could be improved, and whether this might be a good choice for your adventures. <\/p>\n
