Endurance test: Jacket Arc'Teryx
Gore-Tex Active Shell allows rain jackets - or rather their contents - to breathe a sigh of relief. And indeed, perspiration is noticeably limited under the thin, lightweight jacket.
In addition to the casual cut and striking colour, the Beta FL scored points with its large, easily adjustable hood, which can also withstand torrential rain. However, after almost a year of testing and numerous washes later, the wetness soaked through the sleeves in heavy rain.
CONCLUSIONExtremely expensive and very breathable jacket with a comfortable cut and functional details. Unfortunately, the waterproofness deteriorated.
