quality suffering

By Kaipo Ranked #550 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants May 30, 2007

I ordered two pairs of Palisade pants. On one, some of the weld on a pocket was not done. Had to return it. Also, the cargo pockets on this pant are placed too low. If you actually put stuff in them and walk about, the side of your knee will get banged up. The bottom of the cargo pocket should be at least a couple of inches above the knee joint. The overall quality of the construction seems to have gone down now that Arc has moved production to China.
Hope Arc brings back the Blaze pant (with two cargo pockets this time). Hope they also iron things out with their Chinese manufacturer as well.
