This is the rain jacket you can toss in a pack without thinking about it and trust when the weather turns ugly. At 300g it’s the lightest jacket in Arc’teryx’s Beta line, yet it’s a full 3-layer Gore-Tex shell. It handles hiking, scrambling, ski touring approaches, and everyday wet-weather use.
The fabric is 3-layer Gore-Tex with the ePE membrane, a newer PFAS-free membrane that’s thinner and lighter than previous versions. The face fabric is 40 x 70 denier, with a tougher 70-denier weave in the high-wear zones like the arms and yoke, and a soft C-KNIT backer that feels comfortable against the skin. Reviewers who’ve put hundreds of kilometres on it report no damage, and the waterproofing stays reliable in hard rain and wind (it tests at 28,000mm).
The StormHood is helmet-compatible, moves with your head, and doesn’t block your peripheral vision. Pit zips let you vent on the climb, and there are two zippered hand pockets plus an internal chest pocket. Articulated patterning keeps it from riding up when you reach overhead. The fit is trim through the body, and the jacket packs down smaller than a water bottle.
