Arc'teryx Mens Zeta Sl Jacket

Product Information

Arc’teryx said it put this rain gear through rigorous testing. Testers wore the pieces in activities beyond the scope of the apparel’s intended use. Slim fit: The pants don’t bag out in the rear or thighs. There’s an inside cord to adjust the pants at the waist. The large pants fit nicely over my 5 feet, 10 inches, and 175 pounds. Again, I’d go up a size if you’re much bigger.

Durability: The 20 denier for the coat and 40 denier for the pants feel robust enough to last for years. To keep your outdoor clothing and equipment in tip top condition and performing to its maximum we recommend the use of Nikwax products. We have been using Nikwax products since day one (26 th March 1986) and have found them to be totally reliable, dependable and effective. Today’s Nikwax treatments contain environmentally friendly elastic water-repellent polymers that bond to fabric fibres, leaving the spaces between open and breathable. These stretchy polymers are able to stretch and move with the fabric so they stay put for longer and work better. So basically, we tried to destroy each piece in an effort to improve that next-to-skin comfort,” said Renata Mannino, Arc’teryx product line manager. Paclite is a waterproof fabric made by Gore-Tex aimed at weight-conscious adventurers. It helps performance rain clothes protect against the worst wet conditions while keeping weight a top priority. Once your return is processed, please allow up to 5 (five) working days for the money to appear in your bank account ( this is the bank's policy, not ours)

Layering with Cerium LT Could I layer this on top of Cerium LT for a cold day? If not, do you have a recommendation for a trim, lightweight shell that will? I’m small and need something that doesn’t drown me and make it hard to move about, can be used on its own on a warm wet day but with the Cerium LT on a cold, wet one. With a feature-rich build, top-notch build quality, and accommodating fit, the Zeta AR is a versatile and tough shell for a variety of activities and seasons. Durability: Like the coat, Arc’teryx calls the Zeta SL an “emergency shell.” But with 40 denier ripstop nylon I’m not concerned about durability if standard use is confined to trail walking.

While not designed for biking, we tested on our bike commuters for mobility, and they’re now the riders go-to pants,” she said. Arc’teryx markets the coat as an emergency rain shell, so I decided to use it as a snow shell. In Alaska. In the winter. I wasn’t disappointed. While lighter than most of the pants in our review, we still found these pants to be durable. Instead, most of the weight savings is thanks to a simple design, that is free of typical bells and whistles (versus utilizing a super lightweight fabric). 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. Bottom line for the Zeta SL vs Beta SL comparison: The Beta SL line of Arc’teryx is no longer in production. However, you may find remaining one in online stores in a decent price. Unless it is cheaper than the Zeta SL, we highly recommend the Zeta SL. It is a way better product than the Beta SL. Based on the manufacturer’s categorization the Beta Series (Beta SL) are for mountain Multi-Use, on the other hand the Zeta Series (Zeta SL) are for hiking and trekking. To sum up, when we evaluated both of them side by side, in overall, we found Zeta SL is a better option and suitable for across the board. Zeta SL vs Torrentshell 3L Review

Zippers: All the zippers are seam sealed, and I never had water get through. They feel rugged and don’t snag. While it is true that Arc’teryx gear was out of reach for me personally for years, once I made the leap, I only wished I would have splashed out the money sooner. Waterproof, windproof and breathable textiles that offer fully protective environmental shelter. Conclusion for Arc’teryx Zeta SL Review

Warranty: Arc’teryx will replace or repair rain gear for what it considers to be the practical product lifespan. Rain gear damaged through wear and tear, misuse, or neglect may be repaired at a reasonable price. The Zeta SL truly excels as a hill walking piece in the unpredictable UK weather; but, due to it's next to skin comfort and light weight, also works just as well as an emergency shell as it does an all day mountain piece.I was able to try out the Zeta FL at the store the other day. Will the Zeta SL have the exact same sizing/fitting compared to the FL? Zippers: The pants are loaded with zippers, which I loved. A front zipper and waist snap make these the easiest pants to get on and off that I’ve ever worn. No more struggling to pull up rain pants over shorts or other underlayer. And three-quarter-length leg zippers make these a dream for pulling on or off over boots and trail runners. Stiffened hood brim, low-volume hood, not helmet-compatible, rolls and snaps if needed to keep from flapping in wind We currently don’t provide the breathability rating as this measure isn’t standardized in the industry and the results can be influenced by many factors (the fit, outside temperature and humidity and much more). Fabric: 40d nylon laminated in a 2-layer Gore-tex (N40p Paclite Plus) construction, with very subtle two-way stretch in key areas for improved comfort/articulation
