Write your question here..Arcteryx Rho AR vs MH Power Streach Zip T.
Is quality of fabric used by both manufactures same? I do have MH and Marmot Power Strech already. Marmot's fabric is thinner and after about 10 washes looks like a rag. Hovewer product tag was stating exactly same fabric.

There are a couple versions of Power Stretch, and it's not obvious who's using which one. The better version has a higher nylon content which helps it hold up for longer. Arc'teryx uses the higher quality version of this fabric, and this, in combination with the fit and construction, are what separate the Arc'teryx Power Stretch pieces, like the Rho AR, from power stretch from other brands.
