Despite its success as a fashion brand, premium outdoor apparel brand Arc’teryx never moved away from crafting highly functional gear for people who enjoy outdoor pursuits like hiking, climbing and more.
The brand’s waterproof shells are particularly popular. The predecessor of the Arc’teryx Beta Lightweight Jacket, which I’m reviewing here, the original Arc’teryx Beta LT, sat at the top of T3’s best waterproof jacket guide for quite a while.
