I just bought this jacket and it is wonderful! I love the fit and quality is above all else.
I did find out through an Arcteryx rep (I work in an outdoor shop) that the only reason they went to China is because they could not find enough seamstresses in Canada. I was also told with the tariffs and all on importing, plus the cost of setting up a factory there exactly like the one in Canada, it works out to about the same cost on their end, therefor, no cheaper on our end. Only about half of their products go through China (according to what I was told).
