Beta LT, what a rip-off. Why pay top dollar for something so simple? Stick with basics, save your money. If it ain't broke don't fix it - no told Arcteryx.

In Canada, how convenient. Might as well be Mexico.

I purchased the Beta LT pants last fall and used them extensively through the winter. While they are good Gore pants they are too simple to justify the price. When you can buy TNF, Patagonia, or other generic Gore pants for significantly less there is really no need for the high end pants. You are just paying for expensive features that you don't need. If it ain't broke don't fix it - too bad no one told Arcteryx.

I bought Arcyteryx pant since they were the only rain pants I could find in a tall. I have been exceptionally pleased with these pants. They are extremely versatile due to their full leg zips and minimalist design/weight. I even take these along on nice weather trips so I have something warmer to sit around in at night. If they were a little cheaper I would consider these pants a steel for the price but I am very happy even though I payed near full price!

Don''t think I will ever need it

These pants are simply elegant. They work extremely well, and there's just not very much of them. Probably because of the absence of zipper flaps, they weigh very little more than, for example, Patagonia's activent pants (also a good product), but are much more durable--having taped seams, and triple lamination--and are effectively as breathable, given their handy side zips, their light fabric and the more breathable goretex that Arcteryx uses. Also, if you can find them on sale, they're actually a good value.

How do I love thee, let me count the ways...I was really nervous about shelling out $250.00 for a Gore-Tex pants, but after using this incredible piece of garment I'm glad I did! The attention to detail is incredible. Plenty of room in the butt area and having the crotch and knee area gussetted for maximum range of motion is a plus.

In the field the pants proved it's mettle by shedding water effortlesly. I've used them extensively from backpacking here in our coastal mountains to the Cascades in Washington, where the weather is usually wet and damp. Easy to pack due to it's lightweight, perfect for all kinds of outdoor adventures. Look no further if you're searching for a fantastic technical 3-ply Gore-Tex pants, just remember the name:Arc'teryx
