The Arc’teryx Beta LT Jacket for women and men is a top-notch Gore-Tex shell that is not only stylish but also breathable, functional, comfortable, and well-crafted. However, it comes with a high price tag. As of spring 2024, Arc’teryx is phasing out this jacket. (At the time of this article, the men’s version’s product page had been taken down from the website, but it may be reinstated based on inventory.) We are currently evaluating the newly updated base model from the same line, the Beta Jacket for women and men, which is priced approximately $50 lower and is constructed with a PFC-free Gore-Tex ePE fabric.
