Quote HistoryQuoted:
Although it is good stuff, outside of the US, Arcteryx would probably be considered a mid-range line. Mountain Force, Kjus, Millet, Bogner, Eider, Mammut. They all come to mind as equal or better quality/design and some significantly more expensive. In areas where mountain sports and apres-ski are common, "best" is defined differently. But America is better than euro trash And those are outer wares for being skiing on the Matterhorn and shit I am talking about looking cool while being warm at the Greenwich metro north station but being able to react at the drop of a hat |

another vote for old school..filson mac
Switched to wool this year for outdoor clothing...no regrets. I have had some Mountain Hardware (fleece and a shell) for like the past 20 years that has held up well through many outdoor adventures but no longer fit (I got smaller, and they got bigger). The only issue with synthetics I have is that if you are out bushwhacking, they can literally get torn to shreds in heavy brush.. At some point I may return to synthetics, and if I do it will probably be either Mountain Hardware or Arcteryx.. |

It's good stuff, there's no doubt. I would love one of their packs to replace my big winter pack. The fabrics and craftsmanship is top notch on their products.
I tend to lean more towards Marmot and Mountain Hardwear. Good products that can do it all for 70% the price of Arc stuff. I would buy some Arc, but I'd cry during bushwhacks and portages as it shreds. I buy my gear to use and use it hard at least 40-60 nights out a year on average. |

One of my down coats is Mountain Hardwear (IIRC 650 or 750 fill) and it is a very warm coat. But if a guy got the mid layer I linked above (850 fill) with a good outer wind blocking, waterproof shell, he would not be sorry IMHO. Problem is I don't know which shell on their site would be a good one that would fit well over it. Plus it looks like their clothes are "standard" fit which is for more slender men than me..............I am 6' 0", 230lbs.

But if a guy got the mid layer I linked above (850 fill) with a good outer wind blocking, waterproof shell, he would not be sorry IMHO. Problem is I don't know which shell on their site would be a good one that would fit well over it. Plus it looks like their clothes are "standard" fit which is for more slender men than me..............I am 6' 0", 230lbs. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's good stuff, there's no doubt. I would love one of their packs to replace my big winter pack. The fabrics and craftsmanship is top notch on their products. I tend to lean more towards Marmot and Mountain Hardwear. Good products that can do it all for 70% the price of Arc stuff. I would buy some Arc, but I'd cry during bushwhacks and portages as it shreds. I buy my gear to use and use it hard at least 40-60 nights out a year on average. One of my down coats is Mountain Hardwear (IIRC 650 or 750 fill) and it is a very warm coat.

Oh heck...........let me brag a bit...............I walked 8 miles with the doggie yesterday..........probably will do it again today. Well, maybe 5 miles today because we got some snow and the trails will probably be partially blocked. How far did you walk in the arctic weather yesterday youngster?

I wish Arc would make some gloves that allowed capacitance for use of touch screen devices though. I enjoy using my iPhone to stay on too of my social media status on my walk, and my north face capacitance gloves just didn't feel "good enough" and didn't match the rest of the gear I was running |
