Is Arc'teryx quality slipping ?

does anyone else get the feeling that Arc'teryx gear is not as good as it used to be ?
These gloves seemed sized too small, had uncomfortable seams and just did not look like they would last long, so I sent them for return. Pity as I have a ton of their other gear (hard and soft shells, harness) bought years ago that is bombproof.
Made in Canada vs made in China ?

I have the feeling that you expected a broken in glove and got one that wasn't. You judged durability by looks instead of by testing it, though granted we consumers are typically shy of testing durability instead of reading reviews of it.

Hi, don't have many Arc´terex product, (the Stinger Jacket and Pants, a Backpack, Naos 45 and a Merino wool sweater). The Stinger stuff and Naos is made in Canada = great quality, the sweater is made in China. Have notice that The North Face products that I bought 15 years ago and Made in USA are still great but the new stuff from TNF one has to return frequently. I guess that if we would like to have high quality we have to pay extra for stuff that is made in USA/Canada or in Europe. Most people will not, hence better get use to high prices and low quality.
