I like everyone loves Arc Jackets. This I think is the best mountianeering jacket on the market today. I would like to note that they are big mountian jackets and if you dont enter the relm of the super cold then you should size down. I have a large and it fits like a extra large no joke. Get your size if you plan to layer like no other. Your results my varry but, I also have the older XCR model and it seems to be holding up way better than this new proshell.. I'm starting to wonder if they focusing so much on making it light weight that they are over looking durability. Light contact with rocks and I already have a few holes.. Proshell is a type of gore-tex fabric so I guess I can't blame Arc too much but, still..

You may try contacting both Arcteryx and Gore Tex and see if they'll replace your shell for you, regardless of the abuse that has been shelled out. This is like the Mercedes of outerwear bought at Nordstrom's and their customer support matches that- I had my Theta AR get bound up in my harness and it kinda chafed the Gore Tex and totally ruined the DWR in that area and they replaced it right away.
