Why Arc Teryx is worth that $

By Ranked #65 - Women's Pants September 8, 2008

I have tested a lot of different makes of outdoor gear and arc teryx seemingly has cornered the market on "the best" for the outdoor enthusiast. Sometimes I wonder if that reputation is based on price tag alone and the misgiven accolades by those who don't neccesarily have the experience to comment. In my opinion, there exists STIFF competition in the jacket arena for Arc Teryx, by the likes of Marmot and Mt.Hardwear, but these soft shell pants by Arc Teryx stand alone. They provide for unmatched moveability and wind resistance; over two layers, you're gonna be hot. They have held up well to 5-8 washes and maintain a resonably flattering fit (although I don't get too wrapped up in that). Without a doubt, the best softshell pants on the market.

Arcteryx has a lifetime warranty on all their clothes, which they stand by. If they rip, you can send them in and Arcteryx will fix and/or more likely give you a brand new pair. I think that is why they are a bit more expensive. It's a long term investment.
