Depends on what you're buying and what you're using it for.
I still haven't found a pack that I would trade my Bora 80 for.

I went with OTTE for a hunting jacket. There are different grades of Arcs, some like the LEAF stuff is good, others are now made in China and I think are over priced. Depends a lot on the fitment and your use. Some of them have alpine cut and fit very slim and tight.

Not anymore.
Shop for the thickest goretex shell you can find for a reasonable price. I don't know about their other stuff. |

Very high end brand, I have a 750 dollar jacket which they completely replaced with a brand new one because the pocket ripped, which was probably my fault as the jacket was 4 years old.
Their customer service is amazing and they will have my business on outerwear forever unless something significantly changes. |

It's really good gear.
Whether you want to pay for it is another issue. If you're mountaineering or doing something that requires it every day would be the deciding factor for me. ETA: Not everything they make is sky-high priced, and look for last-years model sales at places like REI. |

I'm looking to cut down on weight, and increase reliability and longevity at the same time. I know I can be dry and warm for cheap. But I'm looking for dry, warm, light, and last forever. I think Arcteryx is my ticket. |

Love my Bravo jacket. Several years old, everyday and training wear, worst damage showing is some pulled threads, little paint off the zipper, and wrinkling in the sleeves. One-layer solution when active in freezing weather, still comfortable in much warmer weather where you just want a light jacket. Plenty of pockets. Athletic cut looks better than most of the puffy shit out there and layers well over and under. Drawstrings are smartly designed for one-handed manipulation and do a great job of blocking draft. Sleeves are cut long so it's nice for taller guys and to minimize pulling when when prone or stretching. Zipper's sturdy.
Expensive? Comparatively, yeah. But I like it. It's functional, it's low-profile - I don't look like some douche blatantly signaling with a 5.11 jacket - and durable. YMMV. |

<------ Works at an Outdoor Store
Arcteryx is definitely "Boutique," but that's not a bad thing. First, all of their stuff is made in Canada, and it's pretty much hand made. They don't use mass production, they cut each jacket individually, and each seam and stitch is supervised or done by a person. I think their Alpha SV jacket has something like 80 different people working on it. Someone different in their factory specializes in each different part of the jacket. One person does nothing but cuffs, one person does nothing but shoulders, etc. That makes their prices a little more understandable, when you realize that each jacket is hand sewn by Canadian elves from Gore-Tex. The bigger question is "Do you really need Arcteryx?" If you are going to Everest, the answer is probably yes. If you are bagging 14'ers in Colorado, the answer is maybe. If you're wearing it around town when it rains, save you money, buy something super nice from Marmot or Outdoor Research for a quarter of the price, and spend the rest on ammo. Or, buy Mammut, because that's what the really cool outdoors people wear

It was worth it when it was made in Canada. It was some of the best ( if not the best) and most innovative climbing and mountaineering gear and apparel made.
Materials, design and features, construction quality, fit, weight, performance were all superb. I have a Borea ski mountaineering pack I'll never get rid of and I haven't and don't expect to find anything better. I have a goretex bib that I've used enough patch kits on to make a small tent. Well, maybe not that many but that bib is awesome and it has been used a lot. I have several other items from back when they were independent and they're great too but those two are my favorites. After they got bought by the Salomon parent company they became just another high price decent brand. They are riding the reputation established by the years making the best stuff. I'd be no more inclined to get Arc'Teryx stuff than Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, or the REI store band anymore. I think they're just selling the logo now. I haven't seen anything innovative from them in years. |

I got one of their hard fleece jackets on sale at REI a few years ago. 130-150 bucks something like that. Anyway it is seriously the best light jacket i have ever owned! I love wearing it when I CCW, conceals everything like a dream. Other than a few small stains the thing looks brand new and i have not been nice to this thing. I wear it to work every once in a while and it is holding up amazingly. I don't know about their high end stuff, I am not willing to drop that kind of coin on a jacket. 200-300 bucks is about my limit
ETA: looking at there website i believe i own the epsilon jacket.... maybe...

REI won't replace this one and I'll buy some other brand next time. The shell pants I bought with the first one are still going strong. I have to work in the rain a lot, I use it for rain gear. |

"Currently, Arc'teryx products are also manufactured in nine other countries besides Canada: USA, China, El Salvador, Italy, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Bangladesh and Vietnam. In all of these countries, including Canada and the United States, it is very possible to manufacture very high or very low quality product.

I have the Hylux Hoodie and have used it for years, it's incredibly warm and robust as hell.
http://www.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?language=EN&gender=mens&category=Mid_Layer&model=Hyllus-Hoody I also have a Alpha SL jacket for snowboarding and it's also great. It's expensive stuff but for layers that you use a lot it's not going to wear out soon and it's going to be replaced if it has any defect. I suggest looking for things on sale when seasons change in the bigger outdoor stores that carry it. Otherwise ask ski instructor friends to apply to be a pro and you can both buy stuff at 40% off :) Quote HistoryQuoted:

Good stuff. It think you can do equally well for less $$.
I like Mountain Hardwear, North Face and Mammut as well. For me the guarantee means a LOT. I have never had a problem getting North Face gear serviced. I recently took my North Face Ibex bag on a Mt. Rainier climb. I've had the bag since 1977. It's got patches and the down is still at factory loft because they have kept it to that spec. It performed flawlessly. |

It's only overpriced if you're not willing to pay for it. All the best shit I have is pricy. That doesn't mean all the pricy shit I have is the best. Yes, sometimes hype is at work, sometimes it's just markup. But it's often justified. Non-Arc example. I love hunting. I hunt north. It gets very, very cold. I suffered for several years cobbling together cheaper stuff. Then I dropped like $600 on a well-fitted, well-made, Cabela's parka and bib. Most expensive set they make, and I paid the extra to get them in large-long so they'd cover my limbs without the excess puff I get out of XLs. Hard to draw a bow when your sleeves puff out 10 inches. They've held up several years of climbing, brambles, dragging, and excessive washing (because I secretly think I can beat animals' noses even though I know I'm at best giving myself a small edge in a crosswind). Regardless, they've enabled me to stay in the stand a hell of a lot longer in ungodly cold weather. Is there another way to do it? Maybe. But is spending an extra $200-300, as a one-time cost that will hopefully last me over a decade of hunting, well worth a solution that I have yet to beat any other way? Definitely. Sometimes you get it wrong buying expensive. But if you've struggled to find "right," it's worth a premium when you find it. |

Quoted: I'd rather be cold and wet than spend $750 on a fucking jacket. I'd be willing to bet you have never really been very wet and cold for an extended period of time. A couple of the guys that went on an Alaska expedition with me this summer sure wish they had spent the money I did when i bought mine. They were wet and cold for a couple of days straight. I was dry and warm. I had a great time. They hated every second until it quit raining, things dried out and warmed up a bit. I love my Alpha AT and Beta AR set up. I think it's worth every penny you spend on it. |
