Made in China - Bad move

I'm a huge fan of Arc'teryx, so don't get me wrong. But this jacket was terrible. I got it as a gift for my Dad for his bday and got it in Midas Gold. When I got it, it was pretty evident that the quality was not what it used to be. It felt more like a thick rain coat than a technical ski shell. It looked very flimsy in quality, and I didn't even bother to give it to him, I just sent it back immediately. The Arc'teryx stuff was awesome when it used to be made in Canada and the stuff coming out of China just isn't any good. Same price, crappier quality. Steer clear.
