The Arc'teryx Zeta SL is a sweet, versatile do-everything three-season jacket that provides the best overall balance of performance and versatility. No model can match the Zeta's across-the-board performance, as it scores at the top or near the top in every comparison category. While it is on the more expensive side, its performance attributes and versatility easily justify the cost — which isn't that much more than a lot of its direct competition.


For an 11-ounce jacket, the Zeta is surprisingly durable this not only saves weight but makes it less prone to peeling after extended use. The inside of the chin area has an additional layer of nylon to combat the wearer's sweat from clogging the pores of the membrane, which can cause it to break down or delaminate prematurely. The Zeta is one of the most robust jackets we tested, which is particularly impressive, considering it weighs only 11.3 ounces. The Outdoor Research Foray and Marmot Minimalist edged out the Zeta in the durability metric (mostly due to their slightly thicker face fabric), but both of these models are heavier and we didn't find the Zeta far less durable.

It compresses smaller than the Outdoor Research Foray and The North Face Dryzzle, both of which use Gore-tex Paclite fabric. Even compared to the 2.5 layer Marmot Precip, the Zeta packs down more compactly. The title for the most packable jackets goes to the Outdoor Research Helium Rain and the Patagonia Storm 10 — both of which were roughly 50% the volume of the Zeta but also provide less stormworthiness, are less versatile, and are less durable.
