Beautiful jacket
Beautiful, extremely well-made jacket. My first Arc'teryx and I am very impressed. For my purposes (bicycle commuting in the Northeast) I would probably do better in a jacket with pit zips as I do get some condensation. Also the hood does not fit well over a bicycle helmet although it's a great fit for my head. The jacket is completely waterproof and the color is great. Highly recommend.

Well made jacket!
I got the Arcteryx Beta SL in "coffee bean". It's a nice dark brown color with cream colored zippers and logo. The jacket fits nicely, with room for a fleece layer underneath, and it is very well made. I bought this jacket to use more as my around town shell, because it looks a bit more civilized than many other shells. The pockets are not as high, the length not quite as long, and it doesn't has pit zips like the Alpha SL. The hood is also slimmer, and not an oversized helmet compatible hood. For snowsports, backpacking, etc. I'll be using a different shell, but the Beta SL is just the ticket for my intended use.
