Beta LT Jacket
Another great jacket, was thinking about getting a small but the Medium was just fine. I am 5'7" 165 lbs. The finish is just fantastic. The waist length is a good change from the other longer length jackets. Better for the warmer weather. I can not help myself, I just keep buying Arcteryx stuff. This is my 6th item within the last 3 months.

Great Great jacket!!!
Color - Miro blue is awesome color. Two thumbs up for the color. This is the most fantastic color in Arc'teryx. Design - Perfect fit to petite person. Compared with Sidewinder or other hardshell jacket, it's length of garment is little short. So if u are tall person buy other one. This jacket is not good to tall man but also to fatty. It's not bulky. Lightweight - Two thumbs up!!! Hardly sense the weight. Also small in volume when you pack this jacket. Perfect fit to my body. Fantastic color. Really love it!!!

Great but
Great all around light jacket but I would of liked a waterproof front zip. The hood is also a little combersome and could use some work. Still made in Canada (08/09 model) and that is a big plus.
