I just ordered a large green so next week some 12 year Chinese kid should be running my knockoff hoodie through his knockoff sewing machine.

I'm anxiously awaiting some sizing comparisons for L/XL. I'm 6ft and no fattie, but I've got orangutan arms. Sometimes XL fits the bill, othertimes L suffices.

There's a LOT of sellers on ebay selling these jackets. Prices range from low, like the OP posted, up to $60. There's also a copy of the TAD shagmaster out there.



The original thread has pictures and more links for those interested, I'm on my lunch break so can't get to most websites to get links.

Also interested, especially on the fit and sizes.

I'm
5'10 and 170lbs, and the medium fits me perfectly. The jacket I just
got in fits just like the one I've had for a year or two. The stitching
is well done, material is comfortable and free of any blemishes, and the
water/wind resistance works as advertised. My older one is green, and
the new one gray, and the colors look just like they're advertised.



I
don't have a real TAD or Arc to compare it with unfortunately. Still,
it feels and fits like a quality jacket. Definitely worth the money, and
more, in my opinion.

That's kind of how I'm built and I got the XL. I've got long arms and it fit me good. I'm not skinny but not fat just kinda medium and talk all the way through. I wear a 34 in jeans fwiw.

I did....I wound up with a pair of Five Fingers that were 'pirate' stuff...paid a small discount and didn't realize until I got them (from Ebay) that they were....the only difference was in the strap material (too shiny for the real things)...apparently some factory managers in China make the run of 10k 'real' Under Armour (or Vibram, etc..) stuff...then after hours, have the workers churning out clones with leftover materials (and whatever other stuff they are missing, they'll buy cheaper material) in the same boxes, etc....

(The Fake Five Fingers make excellent beach fishing shoes....).

What's to feel sad about buying a jacket for cheap? And if you're going to start some fair labor shit take it to another thread. Even if the jacket falls apart in a month oh well, It's less that an hour of work to pay for it.

Sad for my wife's uncle who spent a number of freezing nights in a foxhole In Korea listening to his buddies being bayoneted around him by the Chinese. If that makes me an ass, I'll own it. You can have mine.

OP can you post a full body pic with you wearing the jacket, so i can judge if i should get a L or XL based on how it fits you

you have 20lbs and an inch on me, but im worried if i get a L it might be too tight, but if i get a XL it might be too large.

Very similar, but I prefer the neck/hood setup on the ebay jacket to the one Condor uses. Just personal preference of course, I don't know if one is necessarily superior to the other.

Aren't some of their products now made in China?

From 2007 so I'm not sure if more or less are made there: http://www.sustainableisgood.com/blog/2007/06/arcteryx_shifti.html

I have the Costco $20 softshell and bought the softshell with hood a couple of days ago.both made in Vietnam. The hooded one is on sale for $29.99 now.    Am still waiting for my Sand colored one from China.  i am 5-9 165# and a Med barely fits on me.  When buying Chinese clothing,  unless it bought a store in the US, buy 1 size larger than you do.  Been to China and HK.  Chinese medium and US medium are not the same.

It was $90.  Four years later it's still kicking duct-tape-wrapped ebay ass.
