Arc'teryx Venta SV Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0689 | 4 in Stock

Anyone notice any loose fibers sticking up from the face fabric...

By Ranked #315 - Men's Softshell Jackets February 12, 2010

Anyone notice any loose fibers sticking up from the face fabric of the jacket? I've gotten 3 of them, and 3 of them show some loose fibers at some place or another. This won't affect performance, but it shouldn't be the case for an Arcteryx made jacket. It just shows that the quality of fabric may not be that great.

i have not noticed any problems with the fabric and the jacket has met all my design needs: well constructed, a good windproof shell for back country skiing, flexible zips for steamy ascents, good color for viz, hood for windy ridges.....what's not to like?
