Arc'teryx Mens Zeta Sl Jacket

Product Information

Gore-Tex with Paclite Plus construction provides excellent weather protection and is quite comfortable. Warranty: Arc’teryx will replace or repair rain gear for what it considers to be the practical product lifespan. Rain gear damaged through wear and tear, misuse, or neglect may be repaired at a reasonable price.

Cuffs: The cuffs are elasticized to seal in the warmth and keep out the wind, but loose enough for lightweight gloves to slip underneath them. Main zipper isn’t two-way, which can be helpful for activities like belaying when you’re wearing a harness. So, if you bought a gift and effed up the sizing or seriously misjudged your S.O's taste ... don't panic, we've got you covered. We currently don’t provide the breathability rating as this measure isn’t standardized in the industry and the results can be influenced by many factors (the fit, outside temperature and humidity and much more). Once your return is processed, please allow up to 5 (five) working days for the money to appear in your bank account ( this is the bank's policy, not ours)

What We Don’t Like

Bottom line for the Zeta SL vs Beta SL comparison: The Beta SL line of Arc’teryx is no longer in production. However, you may find remaining one in online stores in a decent price. Unless it is cheaper than the Zeta SL, we highly recommend the Zeta SL. It is a way better product than the Beta SL. Based on the manufacturer’s categorization the Beta Series (Beta SL) are for mountain Multi-Use, on the other hand the Zeta Series (Zeta SL) are for hiking and trekking. To sum up, when we evaluated both of them side by side, in overall, we found Zeta SL is a better option and suitable for across the board. Zeta SL vs Torrentshell 3L Review Assumptions: Worn over a thin shirt, no output, no precipitation, light to no wind. Values are always for size M and for men's, except women's-only items. We have spent the last few months putting the Zeta LT through its paces to see how it performed through a few months of travel, hiking in Pakistan, and city use in Paris.

If, on the other hand, you either (1)want something even more durable than the Beta AR, (2)will be hiking in quite severe weather and/or (3) want something baggier to maximize your under layering options, then Beta SV ( Men's- Women's) can be an amazing choice for you. What I liked best: The Zeta FL is light, insanely water resistant, and breathable. The hood snugs up to keep out wind and rain. The zippers feel sturdy, don’t snag, and keep out the water.

Layering with Cerium LT Could I layer this on top of Cerium LT for a cold day? If not, do you have a recommendation for a trim, lightweight shell that will? I’m small and need something that doesn’t drown me and make it hard to move about, can be used on its own on a warm wet day but with the Cerium LT on a cold, wet one. One more little feature is the hanger loop that’s high enough quality. It doesn’t look like it’ll break anytime soon, which is always appreciated. Complaints Material: N20p Gore-Tex fabric with Paclite Plus. The Gore-Tex membrane is bonded directly to a nylon outer shell material, then covered by a durable protective layer made of an oleophobic (anti-oil) substance and carbon, creating a two-layer construction. An abrasion-resistant treatment is given to the inside surface, making a separate lining unnecessary. And Gore-Tex says Paclite Plus stretch technology is designed for ease of movement and an attractive fit. Nerd talk on N20p: N (nylon) 20 (denier) p (plain weave).

For technical hiking, trekking, durable and protective designs for remote and varied conditions. GORE-TEX The Zeta SL is primarily designed as an outer shell, more commonly referred to as a hard shell; which means it works well to protect you from strong winds on cold days, right up to torrential downpours.I was able to try out the Zeta FL at the store the other day. Will the Zeta SL have the exact same sizing/fitting compared to the FL? We know what you’re thinking—that sounds all nice and scientific, but does it work? Short answer, yes. We haven’t tested it in end-of-the-world rain, but it’s kept us dry and warm during smaller storms, and we have no doubt it’ll work in downpours. Water simply slides right off the material in a very satisfying way. Now, before I get to the typical buyer profiles, let me tell you that you must have a good reason to get a Zeta SL, and a very good reason to get a Beta Long.
