Is this pretty much the same fit as the Arc'terix Alpha SL? From appearances it looks like this is the same just with more pockets. I'm asking because I was impressed with the reviews of the Alpha, but I like the pockets on this one. And I can sacrifice the extra ounce!

I think the major difference is that the Alpha SL has pit zits(core venting) and the Beta SL doesn't. Also the Alpha's hood is a lot bigger because it is made for a helmet. This is more of a backpacking jacket whereas the Alpha is designed for climbing.
