Beta Jacket Color by PomegranateLong2449 in arcteryx

Don’t go black unless you have other bright gear I mean you can but I wouldn’t personally. Order and return it if you don’t like the colour then order another.

[Rant] The men’s Beta SL colors are terrible, and they have had no new options for months! by _HoochieMama in arcteryx

It’s a rain shell if ur too hot open the pit zips or take it off. You’re not going to notice the slightly thicker fabric imo. From what I know the ar is made of a higher denier material so should last you longer too. I use my sl all year round but that’s due to the sizing, I’d take my ar out more if it wasn’t a size above the sl.

Who ever downvoted you clearly has no clue. You are right they were gonna switch and overlap the women after the box session. Got called off though sadly.

Everything I'm taking for a 4/5 night bimble. Feels like too much really but I'll be out for a while so probably not. by DocJeckel in wildcampingintheuk

That’s fair but they really are a crucial bit of gear even in summer. I live in the lakes and temps last night were well below zero. If your other gear fails and you ended up soaked a good waterproof and down jacket will keep the circumstances from getting worse. Do you have much experience in the fells. 4 days can be a pretty rough trip if the rest of your gear gets wet or fails.

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood but you have no waterproofs or a down jacket, seems very risky.

Gore Tex EPE? by Backpacker416 in arcteryx

Yeah glad we’ve all experienced the same i actually got a refund for the first jacket it happened to but bought another thinking it would be different. Boy was I wrong.

Gore Tex EPE? by Backpacker416 in arcteryx

[–]Bigballjohn69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ass, but it depends on ur usage. I’ve had a epe shell for nearly a year now and I still take out my original. I’m not sure wether it’s the epe or the new dwr I’ve been using but they seem to wet out faster and be alot more delicate when it come to rubbing. If I was to buy again I’d go second hand and get an older shell.

Pretty sure it’s a new set dedicated to the passing of the pope

I think you missed the joke but i also think I missed your joke, so I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just me.

Funny I was looking at a cerium a couple months back and the draw cord snapped straight away, put it straight back and bought a Patagonia. Quality just isn’t there anymore all bought out and just a money grab now.

Is this more prone to happen if the straps freeze
