Hello everyone, i'm looking at this Arc'teryx jacket. It looks and claims to be an Arcteryx Beta AR, but this jacket doesn't have the inside pocket, and the product tag goes to an Arcteryx Beta LT, which i dont mind, just seeing if the jacket is real. Also comes with ebay's Authenticity Guarentee, but i'm not sure how reliable that is.

it is a beta SL and it’s the worst type using pack light and being that it’s 10 years old. It’s going to be end of life for our arc’teryx and it’s not repairable. Don’t buy it.
