Light, packable all-mountain GORE-TEX ePE shell with an extensive feature set.
This product was previously the Beta Lightweight Jacket.
Beta
Versatile: high performance for diverse activities and conditions.
Trail
For technical mountain activities, durable and protective designs with a focus on freedom of movement for remote and varied conditions.
Superlight
Superlight materials and design, emphasizing lightweight and packability over durability.
GORE-TEX
Waterproof, windproof and breathable textiles that offer fully protective environmental shelter.
Made for alpine travel and mountain realities, the Beta SL Jacket – our lightest Beta – is carefully designed to deliver complete waterproof, windproof, breathable protection without sacrificing features or packability. Its next-generation GORETEX ePE membrane is light, thin, strong, and PFC free. C-KNIT backer technology improves comfort and breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood protects without compromising vision, pit zippers ventilate, and a RECCO reflector can aid in search situations.
Product tip:The new ePE membrane technology is lighter and thinner, but just as strong and durable as the materials we used before. You may notice the face fabric “wetting out” slightly faster in products with ePE membranes, but rest assured this does not affect the waterproofing of the membrane itself. If you notice the fabric wetting out faster than you’d like, simply wash the jacket and dry it to remove the oil contamination and bring the DWR back to its full power.
