Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Beta SL Hybrid Jacket

Il semblait parfait. Mais la doublure intrieure s'est tache aprs un usage minimal. Juste la section Paclite, ce qui tmoigne qu'il y a surement une fragilit a ce niveau. C'est la premire fois que a m'arrive et j'en ai eu beaucoup de manteaux du mme type dans des conditions beaucoup plus difficiles. Il reste bien fonctionnel, mais ceci me doit ce prix. Je crois qu'un manteau tout fabriqu avec une membrane intrieure plus paisse aurait t un meilleur choix... moins fragile et le contact avec la peau est plus agrable aussi quand il fait chaud.

Bought this jacket in Autumn 2020 and its first use was in a Scottish rainstorm. After a number of hours in the rain I was perfectly dry, however the jacket pockets were full of water. I cannot tell if water is entering via the central zip, or the outer pocket fabric is simply not waterproof. Either way, the contents of my pockets were sitting in several inches of water, ruining a phone in the process. Given the number of similar reviews there must be some design flaw with this jacket, or simply no quality control. This is a lovely jacket with a great fit, and is 90% waterproof. However when paying such a high price, you expect a premium jacket. Unfortunately this is not.

After a shower test for 5 minutes, water flows through the central zipper and one of the pockets becomes wet in the depths. That is, the pocket does not get wet through the zipper. I did not expect this from Arcteryx. I decided to check after the purchase after reading the reviews. Thank you people !!!

Die Jacke fiel schon im ersten Test durch! Mit dem Fahrrad auf dem Weg zur Arbeit war die Jacke nach 7 KM und sehr leichtem Regen innerhalb von 20 Minuten komplett durchnsst. Es handelte sich nicht um Schwitznsse. Nur der Schulterbereich and dem 3 lagiges Material verarbeitet wurde war dicht. Diese Jacke ist fr mich vllig unbrauchbar!

I have been struggling to enjoy this jacket for a while. With my first one, the pit zipper blew out as a design flaw and got that warrantied. Second jacket was zero % waterproof and actually absorbed water via the back, hood, chest, shoulders and forearms. Sent that back and that was replaced as well. On my third jacket which I kept in my cycling pack as an emergency rain jacket. Had worn it maybe a dozen times. This one had water issues on the first use! Same areas as well: heavy leaking via the hood, shoulders and arms. Just to make sure I wasn't seeing what I was seeing, I tested the jacket in my front yard during a light rain- leaked immediately. This rules out a perspiration issue. This third jacket is currently being warrantied as I write this. Frankly, for such a high dollar jacket with known existing design flaws, offer a buy out program where I can apply credit to another one of your jackets that is actually useful. If I were able to leave zero stars, I would. For those of you considering the hybrid, take caution.

Bought this jacket in the Fall of 2017. With the intention of using it as my primary rain jacket during both high and low movement outings. The jacket fits and looks great. However during my first rainstorm in the Adirondacks I got completely soaked. Water pooling in the chest pockets (yes .. they were zippered closed) , wet shoulders and back. I was very disappointed and thought maybe since this is not Gortex Pro the rain storm was too much. So next rain session and again same results. I want this jacket to work. But it doesn't.
