  • +9

    Would this be better than my $12 Kmart hoodie ?

    • +11

      Yeah of course. It's got a brand embroided onto it. Totally worth the difference /s

    • You'd have to ask bargainhuntr. IYKYK

      better than $12 kart, not better than $50 uniqlo,

      Visit the snow in your Kmart hoodie and let us know how you go.

  • looks too cheap for me

    384 for a hoodie ? World has gone mad

      You paying for the label not the hoodie.

    • +3

      It's not really a hoodie, it's an insulated jacket.

      I think this brand has a very specific target market. You wouldn't wear a basic Hoodie/jacket to climb mountains where the temperature falls well below zero. This will definitely do the job for day to day wear, but anyone spending on this more than likely already has more expensive gear.

  • Nonsense price

    I bought $5 hoodies on Myeba closing down sale…and I bought 40 of them… will last me lifetime so not interested 😁

    These have jacked up in price significantly in the last few years based on some brand value. $380 was RRP for this in 2020 when I purchased mine via Ozbargain deal discounted to $266.

    This jacket is meant to be worn as a midlayer for trekking/climbing etc. It’s not very strong for abrasions- it will develop small holes in the fabric from wear and tear. Mine certainly has and I’ve only really worn it at home.

    Brand is well regarded for top tier mountain activities (eg >$1k for a jacket to withstand extreme conditions). Anecdotally build quality had reduced on lower end product lines like Atom.

    I wouldn’t purchase another dead bird jacket for leisure wear when you can get Patagonia cheaper and with their lifetime warranty.

    Is this the new north face

    • Oh man I thought I was still cool with North Face everything.

      • +1

        Nope, time to donate your wardrobe and start again.

  • I was in their Hobart store and I asked why such a premium. Apparently they will repair in store or send away free of charge. I’m not sure that really justifies.. I’m sure you could find a pretty good alteration place for the $250+ on top of any other brand.

      Speaking of repairs, their warranty department were a nightmare to deal with, in my experience.
      I purchased an item which developed a small tear/hole within 6 months of using it, and it was like pulling teeth just getting them to accept it under warranty, until they eventually told they would repair it this one time, as a 'gesture of goodwill'. After getting it back, rather than patching it with matching fabric, they had just put a small dab of silicon (or similar) on the hole, which then peeled off within the month.
      On the other hand, if you're after a fashion-brand-passing-as-outdoor-wear, The North Face (since someone mentioned it above) were easy and straight forward to deal with, and this was on an item that was over 10 years old.
      YMMV (for either brand), but just something to be aware of before shelling out, frankly ridiculous money, for this.

      • I've had good experience with a repair last year - this was a shell only ski jacket and the powder skirt de-laminated. The jacket was bought overseas back in 2019 (Arcteryx outlet in Vancouver), but the Australian entity did respond and opened up a repair authorisation, which is a third party clothing repair company they subcontracted.

        Sent it in and got it back all good.

        • Likewise, it was sent to Remote Repairs (who've also repaired another unrelated item for me in the past). Wasn't too impressed with the repair, as I was hoping it'd be patched with a similar fabric, rather than a blob of rubber.

    Make hoodie. Add label. Charge exorbitant price. Hope people fall for it

    I bet most adventure anyone have done in Arc'treryx jacket is stopping wind in the City and Showing off everyone that they are wearing Arc'treryx gear !!

    • I've worn my AtrcTeryx gear skiing all over the world in some pretty extreme places. I sometimes wear my puffer jacket to work but otherwise my shell jacket and pants are kept for skiing only.

        Bro your outfit must have cost thousands, and you could have just worn Kmart stuff!

    • "Chances are you’re about to lose.
      Think. Is this a bet you really want to place?
      What’s gambling really costing you?
      What are you prepared to lose today? Set a deposit limit.
      Imagine what you could be buying instead.
      You win some. You lose more.
      What are you really gambling with?"

    If people are into their stuff they have an outlet place opposite the Moorabbin Costco. I went in there during the week and they had some interesting discounted, but still expensive, stuff. They also had some shoes, hats, accessories etc from a few different relatively higher end manufacturers. If you are out that way might be worth a look.

    These rain jacket was a significant discount of RRP.

    • Didnt know there's an outlet for arcteryx. Do you know if they have any other branches?

      • +2

        I only know that one because it is opposite the Costco. Just thought people might want to drop in if they were visiting the Costco to have a look.

    • +1

      Yep I've bought quite a bit of stuff from there. Its the Amer Sports outlet. Follow them on FB, they have a couple of big sales per year, normally one just before the ski season (already happened) and another at the end of the ski season and I've also been to one early in the new year. They are also the distributors for a few other brands like Salomon, Wilson tennis and some others I think. The ski sale I went to last year there was a queue because they were only letting in a certain number of people at a time.

  • Best part: Arc'teryx hoodies are primarily made in various countries, with a significant portion produced in Asia

      Are you just saying that or are you speaking from experience?

  • About six years ago I bought one of these one the states for about $200 USD and was happy at the price. I then found a similar jacket from Montane for half the price, so returned the arctetyx.

    The arctetyx is definitely the gold standard in this category, but my montane has been a fantastic technical jacket, and this is a lot of money, even on special.

  • To be clear, this isn't a hoodie most people should consider. It's a mid-layer for activities in cold-freezing weather environments, or as an outer layer in cold but stable weather. Great for climbing, alpinism, skiing, more intensive hikes, ultralight activities, etc. The materials are very different to a conventional hoodie or outer jacket.

    I've got the Patagonia equivalent - the nano air - and it's a fantastic bit of gear that I can wear both in the city and when heading out to the cliffs.

    I've not heard many great things about Arc'teryx longevity but that may have changed. I've also got to note that it's basically the new North Face of outerwear being appropriated for city use, so if that turns you off I guess that's something to consider.

    I have a few of these. The Atom AR is more of a belay jacket or one to wear around a campfire.

    Activity wise, you get too hot in it and it isn't great for climbing or bouldering. The Proton is better suited for that but moreso for bouldering.

    Arcteryx is made in China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia and Canada - Outdoor Crunch keeps a comprehensive list of where each garment is made and is a great resource for this https://outdoorcrunch.com/arcteryx-data.html

    This gear is great and worth it in the long run. The only exception would be my Cerium LT jacket where the down started coming out a few years after purchase and instead of repairing it, they replaced it with a new Cerium but in a different colour way and much heavier than I wanted.

    Comparison gear would be brands such as Fjallraven, Nørrona and Rab.
