Hello,
I'm looking for a lightweight, no frills Paclite rain jacket. Tossed up between the Marmot Nano and the Arcteyrx Beta SL. Any thoughts from owners of these jackets would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have both the Nano and Beta SL in medium. Even though they are both made with Gore-tex paclite, the Nano's fabric is definitely more thin and delicate. Also, the Nano's back-to-wasit length (inseam?) is definitely shorter than the Beta SL. It is almost too short. Ultimately though, they are both great jackets.

on the surface, these two jackets look very similar. The Arc'teryx Beta SL has a drop hood, which leaves the collar in place, and the hood out of the way, when it's not on your head. I'd say the main differences would be the super high quality of Arc'teryx construction, and a more durable face fabric. Plus, and this is just personal preference, the Beta SL has more interesting colors.
