Arc'teryx Zeta vs Beta: SL, LT, AR, SV [[month

Beta AR (see image). It's my one of two favorite Arc'teryx pieces, along with Proton LT.

Overview

UPDATE: Arc'teryx discontinued its Zeta line of jackets several years ago. The Zeta became part of the Beta line, with the popular Zeta LT transitioning into the base Beta jacket. Please click here to read our post where we extensively review and compare all models of the Beta line here.

First thing you should know about these jackets is that Beta Long does NOT come with a two-way zipper.

On Arcteryx.com's Beta Long product page, there's misinformation about this, so I wanted to clear this out of the way ASAP. I'm sure they'll also correct it there soon.

As you can also see in Arc'teryx's Naming Scheme Page here as well.

"Beta" and "Zeta" lines translate to All Round and Hiking/Trekking specific pieces in Arc'teryx terminology.

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.

Because, Zeta SL is an emergency shell, and Beta Long somehow feels misplaced in the entire Arc'teryx line.

Performance data axis of synthetic jackets (table above) and shell jackets (this table) are different. Don't compare them.

New member of Beta line Beta Long (Men's) feels weird. Really weird. A combination of N80p face fabric and regular Gore-Tex (not Gore-Tex Pro) is confusing.

It's like they could make it either more breathable or more weather resistant & durable - but they messed up and ended up not achieving either one of these. Beta Long is kind of in purgatory.

Beta Long is only available for men, and Zeta AR only for women (see both of them in this image). It also kind of feels like Arc'teryx tried to make a Zeta AR for men with Beta Long. I don't know. Even if this was what they tried, I think they still failed anyway. Because I wouldn't consider Zeta AR to be an unnecessary piece at all. It's actually a pretty solid one - and I recommend it to my hiker readers in my Best Arc'teryx Jackets post.

To me, the only upside of it is that it's available in XXS and XXXL. We rarely see Arc'teryx offering these sizes.

Speaking of which, no other Beta or Zeta offer either one of them.

Other selling point can be seen as the suitability tall folks (owing to its lengthier nature) - but I kind of disagree with this. I'd rather get a slightly shorter jacket than a perfectly fitting Beta Long. The fact that it's lengthier doesn't justify its shortcomings. At least that's the case to me.

In addition to that, length of other jackets in this roundup are more than enough for most of us - even for very tall folks (6'1"+).

Fit

Canberk is 5'11" and 165 pounds, with an athletic build. Size Medium fits him perfectly across almost all brands and product lines.

Anyways, without further ado, let's move on to typical buyer profiles because it's highly likely that you're one of these guys.

Typical buyer profiles

"I really don't need any really specific features. I want to stay active during the quite cold winters in my town: A lot of fat biking, outdoor climbing, hiking, skiing, snowboarding etc. I'm looking for a jacket I can easily use during all these."

Now if this is you...

Then I'd recommend the Beta AR (Men's - Women's) to most of you my eyes closed.

It's one of my two favorite Arc'teryx pieces (along with Proton LT), and I think it's one of the most versatile hardshells out there (along with Beta LT).

Beta SV (Men's - Women's) is an absolute unit. It's single handedly the most robust jacket in this roundup in entire Arc'teryx catalogue (along with Alpha SV - climbing specific counterpart of Beta SV).

If you need a lighter, more packable alternative to the Beta AR, then I'd recommend the Beta SL (Men's - Women's). It's literally a light Beta AR with minimal sacrifices.

"I want to stay active during the quite cold winters in my town, will be doing various activities with my jacket, but at least 80% of the time during these activities I'll be hiking/trekking."

If this is you...

Then I would have recommended the Zeta AR (Women's) to most of you, but as I said earlier (and as you can see here), after Fall 2021 update, it's only available for women and not for men.

You might still be able to find it on other stores such as REI and Backcountry, though.

If you couldn't, then I'd recommend you the Beta AR (Men's - Women's).

"I'm looking for an emergency shell I can pack and put on easily during in case of downpours. My main (or only) expectation from this shell is superior waterproofing."

If this is you...

Then I'd recommend you the plain Beta (Men's - Women's). Arc'teryx discontinued Zeta FL (read my review), Beta FL (read my review) and Beta SL Hybrid (read my review) all together.

One last point I'd like to make before we move on to cross price checking, if you'll be using your jacket mainly for climbing, then I'd recommend you to stop reading this post and go visit my Arc'teryx Alpha vs Beta post.
