Thread: Arcteryx lands big endorsement

  1. #21
    Surprised that so many here didn't know about their ownership. I've been going to Canada Goose as "look first" place for a couple of years. Their stuff is first rate quality and design, but less weather range than Arc, slightly more fashion than function on some lines, and quite a bit more expensive.
    Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.

    I knew Arc was sewing in China. I did not know they, along with Solomon,
    were owned out of China.

    That is unfortunate.

    Also did not know about Chinese ownership.

    Patagonia’s self righteousness annoys me but there stuff has always served me well.

    My last two pairs of Merrels were made in China.

    Kuiu is the closest to Arcteryx in terms of a range of clothing, fit and performance. Canada Goose is either fashion or designed for use where you don’t have to carry it by your own locomotion. Duck down in a $1,000 jacket kind of heavy, although works great for unloading freight on the ramp in -40.

    I am still using Holosun and Arcteryx, despite my preferences.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I do a lot of work in a relatively heavy CG jacket (supposedly rated -4 to 14F) in 0-40˚ weather. I'm a heavy sweater and find it very warm, sufficiently breathable, and had held up excellently. Plenty of goofballs going around in Canada Goose – just like Arcteryx – but my experience is that it is solid, high-performing kit.

    I was a huge Patagonia supporter / user until I received a catalog from them (a paper one that had been printed and mailed to me using climate murdering technology!) that contained an essay stating that white people didn't care for the environment and were the cause of it's destruction.

    No thanks.

    I've mentioned them before, but the last few years I've worn a lot of Beyond Clothing. They have an import and a domestic Berry compliant line, with non-mil/camo color options for everday wear. Good stuff, holding up well. Link: https://beyondclothing.com/collections

    I just got a couple jackets from them. It will be my first stop when I need something else.

    If you want actual Made in USA from USA workers with USA materials, the options are limited, and expensive. But when I put this on, I sure feel good about it. (Mine’s black, because I am neither high speed nor low drag).
