Would you say this is the best (compared to the Beta lightweight and Beta AR) for in-city/day-to-day wear? I think the other two would be more so for actual hiking, climbing since it has pit zips and helmet compatible hood.
I would agree that the Beta jacket would be a great choice for everyday urban use. I have another video coming out soon that compares the three Beta's.
The Zeta is older, no longer available. I have the Zeta SL which was the lightest shell that Arc'teryx made at the time when I bought it. About 5 years ago. It was considered an emergency shell, very packable, and used a paclight goretex membrane.
@@meandmyjackets I’ve just ordered the Zeta LT. Apparently the differences between this and the Beta LT are mostly extra zips and some other rather unimportant (at least to me)

@@meandmyjackets would you recommend the beta jacket also for light winter activities and low temperature? (with layering?
@@raphael3398 sure, that should be good.
Hi there great video thanks for explaining. What’s the difference between the Beta and Zeta? Thanks 🙏
