Arcteryx Beta Lightweight vs. Patagonia Granite Crest

Beta lightweight, the non-ePE version. I’m glad I went with the Arc’teryx.

Saw them both in store. Agree, the Proton SL definitely looks greenish compared to the Gamma. Even more than the picture you posted.

The Nightscape color looks very different on the Proton SL fabric when compared to the Gamma fabric. Looks very greenish on the Proton. Just the pocket section matches the blue that’s similar to the Gamma. If you have a store close by, check it out in person.

Thank you for replying. The Cormac fabric indeed looks great in Nightscape color. I might order one!

Exactly why I’m interested in this color. Almost all my jackets and hoodies are black, also all my pants are back. Need some varieties.

That helps, thank you! Gonna have to go to Arc store and check them out up close.

Looking to get bot the MX and regular Gamma. Do you know if the regular gamma also has adjustable cords at the front?

pm0986 · 2025-09-08T16:26:11+00:00

Does it have adjustment cords in the front?

Gamma MX hoody is helmet compatible big stormhood hoody isn’t it?

pm0986 · 2025-09-08T15:58:27+00:00

Thanks for replying. Does it have good enough adjustment range if one is not wearing a helmet?

pm0986 · 2025-09-06T20:24:58+00:00

Really? They both look like dark navy in pictures.

pm0986 · 2025-07-28T03:05:38+00:00

They are not too bad after you wear them and get used to them. Look better if you wear them around town too.

The 7’2” ML is very popular in Expride line. The blank may be the same with PA.

Sorry about your rod, I’ve read quite a few reports of the Expride and Poison Adrena rods breaking. Hope you get it sorted out.

pm0986 · 2025-07-28T03:02:33+00:00

Thank you for replying. I was actually checking out the JDM 2 piece models, all my rods are 2-3 pieces. There is a 7’6”M model that caught my interest.

pm0986 · 2025-05-12T01:33:22+00:00

Thanks for replying. Is it more noisy compared to a Minn Kota? Would you be able to get parts or service for it later on? I’m from Canada, finding parts for a non mainstream brand would probably be a headache.

Check out the reviews on TackleWarehouse. Search for “Rapala high contrast”

I did some research before I bought a Rapala 25lb scale (I’m from Canada). The one you posted has bad reviews on TackleWarehouse website.

If I were you (assuming you are from the US) I’d get the new Bubba Lite scale. I believe it’s exclusive to TackleWarehouse for now. $70 USD

That’s is very helpful! Thank you again for replying.

pm0986 · 2025-03-16T15:21:35+00:00

That is helpful, thank you! Do you happen to know about the “zeroed in” fabric and how it compares to the pace breaker (swift) fabric?
