ArcT Delights This Tough Customer

By Mitch Stein Ranked #1613 - Men's Softshell Jackets April 27, 2009

ArcT does it again (as usual). This was my first Arcteryx piece and it instantly cemented my love affair with those design & quality fanatics from Vancouver.

It is full of stretchy, warm, breathable, water resistant goodness. Fabu athletic fit, and tough as nails. In addition to working great under a wide range of conditions, it never fails to garner compliments on it's looks.

I don't understand all of the hoo-ha about ArcT stuff made in China. My jacket was made there, and it's assembly is as close to perfect as any item of clothing I've ever owned (or seen, for that matter).

It would be even better if it had another pocket or so to stash my glasses, cell phone and other such miscellaneous cartage, leaving the hand warmer pockets for... er... warming my hands.

ArcT stuff is expensive, but well worth it.
