Arc'teryx Matador Softshell Jacket - Men's
Nice, but overpriced

Ranked #1903 - Men's Softshell Jackets
June 2, 2008
I got my Matador towards the end of February. It's a really nice jacket- with laminated reinforcements on the elbows and other places, you can tell it's well designed. The fabric does stop the wind really well and it's nice to have insulation instead of layering so much. Overall, it's a nice, technical jacket. One disappointment I had was realizing it was made in China- I had always believed all Arc'teryx was made in Canada. However, the build quality is excellent, so maybe that isn't too important. However, the MSRP of $450 is far too high in my opinion. There is no way I would pay full retail for it.
