All the other outdoor brands are way too baggy in the waist and tight in the shoulders/arms for me.
my mountainhardware and marmot pieces are also fairly loose on me.
If you want a shell the beta AR would be the way to go if you dont mind spending the dough.
The sl hybrid is a glorified windbreaker with some pricey embroidery. Around $100 would be a good price
Still showing for me, I haven't used it yet. Says expires April 15.

Really depends on a person's use. I prefer the packability of the SL.
In what world does 4 ounces really make a difference?
The thinner the material the less durable it is . Arcteryx considers the SL Hybrid an emergency jacket . Which I take as, it wont hold up to regular use.
$300 for an emergency jacket thats thinner then a contractor garbage bag ???
The whole minamilist, layering world that Arcteryx created is the Koolaide I'm referring to. I do like their products but half of them are really unnecessary....

If I need a heavier weight waterproof shell, I've got another one for that purpose. That one doesn't stuff down to the size of my Beta SL, but it also has other features like pit zips, a rollable hood, napoleon pocket, outside access to an inner jacket, etc. My Beta SL is a little bit bigger than a can of soda rolled down and my other, heavier, waterproof shell rolls down to probably a Nalgene size bottle.
When I (used to) travel, I usually don't check a bag, and I usually bring my Beta SL if there is a chance of rain in the forecast, because it packs down small and light.
I agree that Arc'teryx has minimalist gear, but I don't agree they created the world of layering and the need for lighter-weight options. Many other brands also have lightweight options.

ive never had stuff need repair - my BETA AR is still in decent shape after using it regularly for 6 or 7 years now, so i cant answer.
i have alot of patagonia as well, but i like their inner layers better than ARC, [better sweater, nano puff] - but i have ski pants with their own DWR and it's still pretty good.
i find that ARC's fit is more for the mountain athlete, or athletic people in general. patagonia tends to be loose on me for similar sizes.

IWhen I had a SL Hybrid it leaked when it got wet. Arcteryx told me that the main zipper isnt water proof. .

I have another storm flap less jacket from Outdoor Research and haven't had an issue with that one either. :shrug:
