I have three jackets from Arc'teryx all say made in Canada.I was telling a friend that is why there so expensive.Then this morning Im packing my Arc'teryx bora 65 backpack for a 4 day hike and guess what I saw a label saying made in china.So tell me if someone in China is being paid $30.00 a month to make Arc'teryx why are they not at Wallmart for $39.99?

It is likely that the fabric used for part, or all, of the pack in manufactured in china, but the real workmanship is still done in Canada.
