What does Beta LT stand for?
“The Beta LT is sporting an extremely streamlined, and well considered, design.” Arc’teryx originally created the Beta LT with the heavier, and more durable, Gore-Tex Pro fabric. This time, they’ve instead decided to opt for the standard Gore-Tex fabric for the Beta LT (LT meaning lightweight, by the way).

What is the difference between arcteryx Beta AR and LT?
The “LT” on this version of their Beta jacket stands for “lightweight.” This version is almost 4 ounces less than their Beta AR (all-around) hardshell, and is also $200 cheaper. These weight and cost savings come from the decision to use 40-denier fabric in high wear areas as opposed to the 80D used in the Beta AR.
