Took me years to put this together. Enjoy.

#CAUTION: Performance ratings are given by category (see type column). So don't use these numbers to compare products of two different categories. If, however, you're going to compare products of the same category; then by all means go for it.

Yeah, some products are scored only 1 or 2 in some departments here...

But remember, this rating scale consists of Arc'teryx (top notch quality) products only.

So yeah, even though some are only a 2 or a 3; they would STILL perform better than the products from other brands in most cases.

About this sheet

- This sheet came to life mid April 2021 - although the study conducted to obtain the information provided has a longer history (years).

- Price data is constantly being updated with the help of a JS code, a bot, and a server I purchased.

- Temp column refers to the lowest temperatures you can wear each jacket without feeling cold, assuming:

You only have a t-shirt under them,
When it's a little windy out,
You're producing very little to no output (stationary use).

If you tend to run warmer or colder than average, then obviously shift these values accordingly.

- Performance ratings are given by category. In other words, DO NOT USE these numbers when comparing products of different types.

- Following aspects are taken into account when assigning performance and temperature ratings:

My own personal experience,
Overall user experiences,
Scientific sides to the tech specs,
Chatting with Arcteryx, REI and Backcountry Customer Services,
Consulting subject matter experts (well... kind of experts, let's say).

- The information given in this sheet only applies to the most recent revisions of these jackets. DO NOT USE the information here for previous revisions.

- Discontinued products are removed automatically. If/When Arc'teryx happens to decide to bring them back, they get added back in here automatically.

- I'm not an expert, and I don't claim these values to be 100% true for everyone. Take the information given in here with a grain of salt.

- Reach out to me at canberk (at) outdoorcrunch.com for your comments and suggestions. Always appreciate them.

Arcteryx Norvan SL vs Trino SL vs Incendo

Last updated: May 28, 2022 by Canberk Koksal Leave a Comment

#Note: Full Arc'teryx review list is at the bottom.

CAUTION: I WOULD NOT recommend you EITHER ONE OF these jackets if you won't be running and/or training with them at least, say, 80% of the time.

So, if you're now thinking "Oh, I'd better look for a more all rounder, equally breathable piece, then"...

...then I'd recommend you to check out other alternatives in my Best Arc'teryx Jackets post. Especially take a look at this hoody from Arc'teryx.

#A sidenote here: Arcteryx.com's PDF guide to their jackets is GOOOLLDDD. Highly recommend you to check it out before you buy.

Now, as of Aug 2022, Arc'teryx currently employs 6 different running / training jacket lines:

Non-insulated:

Very comfortable, rock solid Trino SL would be my top recommendation. PS: Some women do find wearing the Men's Trino SL comfortable.

Trino SL Hoody (Men's): This is an amazing piece, and would be my top overall pick for most of you.
- Breathable, wind resistant, water resistant, and fully featured (offers 4 pockets, mechanical venting and other running specific touches). Overall the most well-balanced, and the best piece in my humble opinion.
- At 12 oz (340 grams), its two times heavier than its alternatives. Still, if portability is mostly not going to be a major concern for you, I don't think it's a deal breaker. It's still quite a bit light.
- My main gripe with this piece is that it doesn't look that pretty (at least to me, and some of my other folks). Still, this isn't a fashion oriented jacket... Functionality it offers is phenomenal. Which, I think, should be the main axis of decision making.
- My second gripe with this is that Arc'teryx doesn't offer a women's counterpart of this (only offers an Anorak version of it - which I didn't have the chance to review yet). Hopefully they will start doing so in the near future (AW2022).
- Until then, I'd recommend the Incendo Hoody for women. It's my second favorite running jacket from the Arc.

A good alternative to Trino is...

Incendo Hoody (Men's - Women's (Cita) - read my review): If Trino is a bit too expensive for you (although I bet it's worth every extra penny for many (all?) of you), OR if portability will be a concern for you for at least, say, 50% of the time when running... then Incendo is probably the right pick for you.
- Although its performance metrics are fairly below the Trino & it doesn't offer that much features (only 1 pocket), it's much more portable (weighs almost one THIRD of the Trino!).
- As you can guess, this performance vs portability is a trade-off - it's a give or take. Your preference will come down to your own needs and desires - so I'm not the one to tell you which one you should get. Only you can answer that since only you know your own priorities.
- Lastly, if you're interested in seeing its other versions, Arc'teryx also offers a hoodless version (Incendo SL - Cita SL) and a vest version (Incendo Vest - Cita Vest) of the Incendo.

And finally my least favorite...

Norvan SL in action. Not gonna lie, looks bomb.

Norvan SL Hoody (Men's - Women's): Think of this piece as an a little more weather resistant and a little less breathable version of the Trino. Norvan SL is probably the jacket that I recommend the least in this round up.
- My main gripe with this piece surprisingly is not the lack of breathability (it's not all that noticeable, after all - at least for most of us). My main gripe with this is the absence of pockets.
- It's understandable that Arc'teryx aimed to create a super minimalist piece with this one - but I think it's a little too minimalist for me (and many others). I mean, when I can get an Incendo Hoody (not to even mention for half the price!), I probably wouldn't get the Norvan SL.
- The only exception I can think of where I'd recommend this piece would be running in damp areas for at least, say, 70% of the time. Only THEN the superior weather resistance this jacket has to offer would be able to compensate its drawbacks and extra price.

These 3 lines make up the non-insulated running jackets.

Insulated:

Norvan SL Insulated (Men's - Women's)
Argus (Men's - Women's (Gaea))

I'll review these soon in another post.

PS: I always recommend opting for the non-insulated jackets when in doubt between insulated vs non-insulated.

Because, if you happen to regret your decision, you're always able to revert it back by under layering it with a base layer.

Atom SL Anorak Review

Last updated: August 10, 2022 by Canberk Koksal 1 Comment

The differences between Atom SL Anorak (see image) and Atom SL are in the zipper and pocket configurations. Atom SL Anorak comes with a 3/4 zip, and offers only one chest pocket; instead of two side pockets of Atom SL. Apart from this, they're the same piece.

#Note: Full Arc'teryx review list is at the bottom.

For Spring/Summer 2021, Arc'teryx just released a new piece to their Atom line: Atom SL Anorak.

It has been available on MEC.ca (Women's) and also on Bergfreunde.eu for a while now (since early-mid January).

But for the US, the Atom SL Anorak is only available just yet (mid February).

This delay actually isn't exclusive to 2021, and instead, Arc'teryx always seems to be late to release Spring/Summer updates to the US for some reason.

Summary

Atom SL Anorak is designed for milder temperatures (chilly spring & summer mornings) where mid to high output activity is expected. It's quite a bit windproof, but offers below average waterproofing.

Due to the lack of insulation in the arms (mesh lined sleeves) as well as the minimal amount of insulation in the body, Atom SL Anorak will have breathability in mind when high output activity is the goal.

Warmth

Among the entire Arc'teryx insulated jacket army, Atom SL and Atom SL Anorak are the ones that offer the least amount of warmth. They offer the lightest density of insulation (Coreloft 40 (40 g/m²)). Arms are NOT insulated.

As you can see, Atom SL is down at the bottom in this table (temperature rating of Atom SL Anorak is identical with that of Atom SL):

Related Data Set: Estimated temperature ratings of Arc'teryx jackets

Here's the list of the lowest temperatures you can wear each Arc'teryx jacket without feeling uncomfortably cold.

Keep in mind that these are only approximate values assuming:

worn over a shirt only and no shell over,
during daily use (strolls, power walks etc at most - no high output activities),
with light wind,
and when it's dry out.

Liked this table?

If you did, check out this post of mine to see more Arc'teryx tables like this one, such as fill details for all down jackets.

But, since this anorak is designed for high output activities in chilly summer mornings, this isn't (shouldn't be) the main thing to expect from this piece. It isn't, after all, what it's trying to accomplish.

What Atom SL is trying to accomplish is a top-notch breathability, and it does a perfect job with that.

Breathability

This is (should be) the main buying point for not only the Atom SL Anorak but also the Atom SL. Tyono 20 outer fabric and fleece side panels of Atom SL Anorak do a pretty good job together to keep you ventilated.

Must see before making up your mind: JacketFinder tool at arcteryx.com

The only reasonable alternative you would have to Atom SL Anorak would be the Proton FL. Proton FL also provides perfect breathability. It's actually even slightly more breathable.

Read my Proton FL vs Atom SL comparison for more information about both.

Weather Resistance

Tyono 20 of Atom SL is quite a bit wind proof. During spring & summer, wind proofing is a higher priority than water proofing when enjoying outdoors. It's especially necessary during any high output activity.

As I explained earlier into the post, Atom SL Anorak is also equipped with a chest pocket, unlike most other Arc'teryx insulated jackets - which are equipped with typical hand pockets.

When this pocket configuration is combined with its superior windproofing capability Atom SL Anorak becomes a pretty good option for climbing folks.

Lastly, although the Atom SL Anorak is less waterproof than its cousins Atom LT and Atom AR (here's my Atom SL vs Atom LT comparison and my Atom LT vs Atom AR comparison); it is, DWR coated.

What is DWR by the way?

DWR is a coating.

It's basically sprayed on to the surface of these jackets as a finish. It stands for Durable Water Repellent - which means that water will be repelled under wet conditions instead of soaking into the fabric.

DWR also decreases dry time.

It's a good thing these jackets are coated in DWR, but pay attention to the fact that DWR is a coating - meaning that it will wear off over time.

Which is why you might want to invest in a DWR spray such as this one for after treatment.

As you see, there's a strong correlation between FP x FW and temperature ratings, but not more than, say, 80%. I explained why this happens here in this post of mine.

Fit

Atom SL Anorak fits very trim. Front hem is also longer than that of Atom LT.

Atom SL vs Atom SL Anorak

Atom SL Anorak is exactly the same as Atom SL (Men's - Women's - read my review) itself except for the zipper and pocket configurations.

Atom SL Anorak comes with a 3/4 zip, and offers only one chest pocket; instead of two side pockets of Atom SL.

And which one would be better for you? Depends.

Must see before making up your mind: JacketFinder tool at arcteryx.com

Unless Atom SL Anorak fits your body type (skinny build) and/or you'll be climbing with this piece 95% of the time...

...then I think I'd get the Atom SL over Atom SL Anorak any day.

Here's a good video review of Atom SL Anorak:

Arcteryx Zeta FL Review

Last updated: June 1, 2022 by Canberk Koksal 2 Comments

As you can also see in my Best Arc'teryx Jackets post, Zeta FL (Men's - Women's) would be my top emergency shell pick for hiking purposes.

As most of you already know, I've been sharing helpful guides to all kinds of Arc'teryx jackets for the last couple of years now (find full post list at the bottom). Recently I keep getting asked to make a Zeta FL Review, so here you go.

Summary

Zeta FL is light, packable and streamlined. But, as you can guess, this enforces some significant performance sacrifices in breathability, weather resistance and durability departments.

Now... Having said that...

In order to gain weight and packed size advantages, all emergency shells like Zeta FL inevitably make some performance sacrifices in return.

Fortunately, Zeta FL is positioned in the "sweet spot" of performance vs weight trade-off: All performance sacrifices are kept at a minimum while making the most of packability and weight benefits. If you'll be using it as an emergency shell when hiking, then I'd highly recommend it.

#A sidenote here: Arcteryx.com's PDF guide to their jackets is GOOOLLDDD. Highly recommend you to check it out before you buy.

You might also want to check out my Arc'teryx Zeta vs Beta post to see my performance ratings for all Zeta (and Beta) jackets.

Now let's get to the nitty gritty.

Zeta FL Review: Packability 10/10

I gave Zeta FL a rating of 10 out of 10 in terms of packability. It's actually the only hardshell I gave a 10/10 packability rating.

This doesn't require much explanation. It simply packs very tiny:

Zeta FL Review: Durability 2/10

This might be a problem if you'll be wearing a backpack most of the time.

If you'll almost always be wearing a backpack with Zeta FL...

...then it might get old quicker than you think. Especially in the shoulders and back. Because, Zeta FL is quite minimalist, and hence more fragile.

So, if that's the case for you, then I'd recommend you to check out Beta FL (Men's - Women's - read my review).

Beta line isn't hiking specific like the Zeta line. It's more of an all-round line. It is, however, used perfectly fine for hiking. In fact, in some cases like a lot of backpack use, it can often be even more suitable than the Zeta line.

For the record, I would not recommend the Beta SL Hybrid (Men's - Women's - read my review), if that's also in your mind.

Zeta FL Review: Breathability 4/10

Yes, in surface, a score of 4 does make the Zeta FL look like it puts forward worse breathability capabilities compared to its cousins Zeta LT (6/10) and Zeta AR (7/10).

Zeta FL Women's.

This, actually, is far from where we should be look at things. Like I said earlier, Zeta FL is an emergency shell, and it should be assessed that way.

So, when you look at this from emergency shell standards, then you'll realize that its breathability is actually not bad at all.

I gave other emergency shells like Zeta SL and Beta SL Hybrid lower breathability ratings. Not to even mention that the emergency shells of most other brands out there perform much worse than these two.

In summary... Zeta FL offers sufficient breathability.

Zeta FL Review: Weather Resistance 5/10

Again, 5/10 might seem low, but it actually isn't bad at all among emergency shells.

In Arc'teryx naming scheme...

Zeta refers to products with hiking purpose.
FL, on the other hand, is short for Fast and Light.

Zeta FL face fabric and zippers are sufficiently water resistant. They of course wouldn't protect you from storms, but they'll be perfectly fine for unexpected downpours.

...which is the standard expectation one should have from an emergency shell.

Zeta FL is also DWR coated.

What is DWR by the way?

DWR is a coating.

DWR also decreases dry time.

It's a good thing these jackets are coated in DWR, but pay attention to the fact that DWR is a coating - meaning that it will wear off over time.

Which is why you might want to invest in a DWR spray such as this one for after treatment.

As you see, there's a strong correlation between FP x FW and temperature ratings, but not more than, say, 80%. I explained why this happens here in this post of mine.

Lastly, I'd also recommend you to take a look at the Jacket Finder tool at arcteryx.com. Arc'teryx jackets are far from being cheap. Better be sure before you get one.

Arcteryx Beta FL Review

Last updated: June 1, 2022 by Canberk Koksal 4 Comments

Beta FL (Men's - Women's) would be my top recommendation for those looking for a packable, general purpose shell jacket.

After taking it down 8 years ago, Arc'teryx finally decided to bring the once-loved Beta FL back to life in Jul 2020. As a big fan of Beta AR and SV (read my review), and a big "hater" on Beta SL-Hybrid (read my review), I was excited to review this new member of the line-up.

Summary

Arc'teryx's Beta line corresponds to general purpose shell jackets (source at arcteryx.com).

Among 4 Beta jackets (SL-Hybrid, FL, AR and SV), think of Beta AR as the most well-balanced, central pick; and the Beta FL as the packable version of it (with some sacrifices in weather resistance and durability).

If you're looking for a general purpose hardshell that packs small, look no further. Beta FL (Men's - Women's) is probably exactly what you're after.

Beta FL Review: Packability 6/10

I gave the packability of Beta FL a 6 out of 10.

It's true that the Beta SL-Hybrid packs a bit smaller than the Beta FL. But it's inferior to Beta FL big time in other departments such as breathability, weather resistance and durability.

Arc'teryx jackets aren't cheap by any means...

So, before you make up your mind, I'd strongly recommend you to give Jacket Finder tool at arcteryx.com a try.

Not to even mention that the Beta SL Hybrid leaks like a busted roof. So, until a future revision arrives to address this deal breaker problem, I wouldn't even consider it as a viable option.

Beta FL Review: Breathability 8/10

In my rating scale, 8/10 is a quite high score.

The reason for Arc'teryx to replace the Beta LT with Beta FL in the first place was because they aimed to upgrade the face fabric of Beta LT to the most rugged and breathable Gore-Tex.

Beta FL is equipped with N40d Most Rugged 3L GORE-TEX PRO in hood, yoke, sleeves and with N40d Most Breathable 3L GORE-TEX PRO in other areas.

This makes it highly breathable AND weather resistant at the same time.

This is actually why I love everything about Beta FL, AR and SV. They offer decent breathability AND weather protection at the same time.

This is something many (all?) other jackets struggle to do. It's a huge advantage if you'll be performing a variety of high output activities.

Arc'teryx jackets aren't cheap by any means...

So, before you make up your mind, I'd strongly recommend you to give Jacket Finder tool at arcteryx.com a try.

Speaking of which...

Beta FL Review: Weather Protection 7/10

Beta FL is also pretty weather resistant, although not as much as Beta AR, as I mentioned earlier. And definitely not nearly as much as the monster Beta SV.

Unless you'll be doing anything extreme, I'd doubt it'll fail meeting your expectations, though.

Beta FL is also DWR coated.

What is DWR by the way?

DWR is a coating.

DWR also decreases dry time.

It's a good thing these jackets are coated in DWR, but pay attention to the fact that DWR is a coating - meaning that it will wear off over time.

Which is why you might want to invest in a DWR spray such as this one for after treatment.

As you see, there's a strong correlation between FP x FW and temperature ratings, but not more than, say, 80%. I explained why this happens here in this post of mine.

Fit

Comes with a trim fit.

But, attention female readers; Beta FL might fit a little bit larger than typical trim fit Arc'teryx jackets. So you might want to get one size larger than your usual size.

Alternatives

If packability is extremely important to you, AND you'll be hiking and trekking with this jacket mostly (say, 80-90% of the time), then you might get a Zeta SL (Men's - Women's).

It packs super tiny, though lacks breathability and durability big time.
