As a former US Marine I lived in Goretex for years. I can’t stress the punishment we put that material through. Hearing how the parter ship arcteryx has with gore sold me on buying. I’m a huge fan of simple and functionality.
I love your designs,the outline, the intricate systems of pockets and smart hoods.They remind me of Team Kojima's clothing designs for videogame characters. I wish Arc'teryx wasn't the only brand with smart designers so that this type of clothing stops being expensive with more competition.
Pro tip: If you live in Canada be sure to checkout retailers like atmosphere, sport check after season as they give out some unbelieveable discounts. I got my AT Sawyer jacket for half off. It was marked at $420 from 600, after I rung it in it came out to only $300. If you live in the vancouver area I envy you because of your proximity to the AT outlet.
no one does it better. wish you guys would introduce a hunting/fishing line w/ cuts/colors to match. massive market & no one could do it like you could.
Would love to have a alpha Sv just too much expensive for me but wow what a video too see how the best jackets in the world are made and how arcteryx care x
Lel, Arcteryx is so good, that you just need one parka, shell and thermo (gamma) i dont know where you found 7 of them. PS. Dont knowing how much of them you bought makes you a very environment responsible person.
Both pairs of my gore-tex shoes were not waterproof after one year of use. Maybe it works in jackets but I think the forces inside a shoe walking creates are too much for the fabric and it starts tearing after a while. It should have a functional life longer than a year in my opinion.
Hi there, we're very sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with the waterproofness of your GORE-TEX shoes.

I wish i would have seen this video before i bought their product. DAY 2 of wearing a new jacket I scrapped a tree on one of their small tape seems. Jacket ripped and as i skied the rest of the day the wind continued to rip the jacket over 36" inches in total. I contacted customer support and they offered to send me some tape to tape it up myself.... I bought from them because i thought they had the best product and best service.... Guess i was wrong.
Their customer service is horrible. I have owned over 10 pieces of their gear, from boots to hats, and every time one has failed it has been three months or more to get it back, paying shipping both ways. Once they told me to cut a product in half, even though it was still useful, in order for it "not to be used on multiple warranty claims". Your warranty claims suck anyway, no thanks! In essence they are a fashion brand that uses extremely expensive materials. And, Gore-tex is great if you don't use it for days on end in bad conditions. If you do, it is like everything else: it will need to be dried out by a heat source.
Weird I have had the opposite experience. I own some of their older still made in Canada made stuff that has been warrantied no problem. Wait time for the warranty was around 3 months. They are expensive and I only buy the Canadian made items when I can find them.
arcteryx is amazing, but not famous in europe market, en amazon europe drop a lot of prices, so i got more than 10 jacket from there to my family and friend in unbieliable low price, the material and the quality is way better than haglofs and mammut in europe, thanks to europe people who know nothing about this brand.
Question: If Goretex is the same technology, just licensed out to other companies, why the hike in price from comparable products from Patagonia, North Face, etc.? Answer: a. Pretense b. Incredible marketing
he said it in the video mate, if you use a high-end material but in a subpar product, you're not really going to get the benefits of that material. Patagonia might have revolutionized fleece 30 years ago, but most of their kit is cut to fit a fucking scarecrow, so who cares what it's made of. They make a "core" piece here and there, it's usually quite well received by actual athletes/enthusiasts (subsequently it's ripped to shreds, typically to the extent of some ass-backwards, self-proclaimed-dirtbag point of pride...durability issues anyone??) but discontinued by the company since the frat and latte crowds aren't buying them. Athletes & enthusiasts ask for another core piece in a year or two which pleases a few, repeat.. Wanna talk about pretense and marvelous marketing? It might not get better than Patagonia. They release a new hooded puffer as if it's a vaccine. The same can be said for North Face and others: Good materials, but at 7 or 8/10 execution. Arcteryx makes products that are competitive with these brands and are competitively priced. They offer a $100 windshell just like anyone..but they also offer a step above, and a step or two or three above that as well, with muuuch better tailoring, and those things come at their own price point and are on a level not offered by many manufacturers. Patagonia and North Face do not design or produce military equipment or apparel, for instance. Arcteryx produces both military apparel and hardgoods through their LEAF line. It seems you missed the entire point of this video... Arc's design house is so good, they made GORE themselves change the way they produce materials and make apparel.
North Face and Patagonia are roughly the same price as Arcteryx here in the UK. In fact all the major brands like Rab, Mountain Equipment, Mammut, etc all hover at similar prices (that is expensive). I've had plenty of North Face gear in the past and it is okay but nothing special. The Goretex lining suffers from the same issues as other brands.(leaking, splitting, rotting, coming unglued, taped seams losing their tape, etc) I've got soaked through to the skin in a high end North Face ski jacket. North Face seem to have gone in for street wear and fashion as their main focus now so I'll replacing any of their old gear that I still own with other brands as it wears out. Street fashion for outdoor gear isn't my thing. In the end they're all trying to blind us with science and hyped up marketing so we just have to decide for ourselves which product will be best for us from what's on offer and the money we're willing to spend. Personally I like Arcteryx's approach, the tailoring and finish of their garments is top notch. I bought a couple of their jackets so I'll see how I get on with them.
Spirit of Excellence brah. Arc'teryx is doing everything at a 10, and employing a staff that refuses to cut a single corner. That's worth the price every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Why save a $100 when you're gonna go spend another $300, 3 years later?
cheer up! I admire your company, you do very technological, high-quality, long-lasting things, thank you for that! very much would like to become a part of your team, please people with your products! my dream to work in your company, please make me happy! thank you! ARC'TERYX ONE LOVE!
Hi Arc'teryx I bought a women's Parktera jacket from your website and went 7 hours hiking in the smoky mountains. It was snowy, icy, wet, and cold my jacket was soaked. Is it waterproof? Do I need to spray DWR on it?
freedom life The Parktera wasn't meant for alpine conditions. It was meant for urban environments, that specific type of Goretex is just meant for rain. Do better research in the future before buying a costly product. It even says in the app under "activity" : AROUND TOWN.
@@richardparker5319 I originally bought it for around town just took it with me on my trip. I have a bunch of your gear... Perhaps could have just have worn the Cerium LT with a shell and it would have worked. Just thought goretex was full proof waterproof and your topnotch gear could withstand any conditions. I chose you guys over Canada goose.
Ya, you should definitely go for a 7 hour hike in the mountains with a Canada Goose. Honestly, some people have no idea what products are used in what environment and complain. The fact that you even mentioned needing DWR and correlating that to goretex tells us your lack of knowledge to how it all works.
I love how they show these European or American facilities producing these jackets when the actual jackets say made in China or El Salvador... And the whole we only choose select only established brands because we trust them. Has nothing to do with artificially increasing prices of trade marked synthetic plastics.
Nice video Maybe I have had the wrong manufacturers with my raincoats Everyone has failed with goretex leaking like a siv in some cases more like a colander. I’m one that wears shorts so most rainwear doesn’t cover my bum. So I end up with a wet bum and the weather whistles through. This may sound a bit controversial that I don’t wear longs. With longs it’s not fun crossing rivers and creeks as the longs can pull me down under and into the current What I am looking for is a raincoat that protects my bum when I’m carrying my pack. No armpit zips (as they will at some stage) one internal pocket and weighs no more than 500grams and lasts 5 years if I use 200 days per years 🤔 yes I’m a dreamer Cheers
Have you been washing your jackets frequently? Gore Tex is very delicate and requires a lot of cleaning if worn routinely. I've been able to wear the same ski jacket for 5 years without any problems.
Volume. Tell me how many North American parents are encouraging their kids to take up trades in sewing and garment manufacturing. This skilled labour pool (and it is skilled...we're not talking fast fashion cut and sew here) doesn't exist in large #s in NA. If you take all the skilled garment labour in Canada, I don't think you could keep up with the current volumes.
performance over durability - 3rd item sent back after only 1.5 years useage and holes have appeared, stichting come lose and zips stopped working. Crap warranty ensures I'll never buy again.
@@deanpereza no, not in my experience. I've had two items that i've sent in that they have clasesd as 'end of life' (2 years old) and they wouldn't replace it. They did offer a 50% off on another item which is nice but does not compare to BD, OR or Patagonia that would just replace it in the first place (no questions asked).
I owned your over priced made in China gear, never again. If you need the look, go for it, when I am deep in the hardwoods ripping the pow no one cares what gear you wear. I will admit I liked your gear it just did not hold up.
I share most of your sentiment but durability vs light weight are two conflicting objective. If you buy for weight, durability will suffer. I think they make very good stuff, however, the quality has gone significantly down since they shift most of their manufacturing to China. What really bothers me is the BS they tried to pass on as a revolutionary innovation. Gore-tex isn't much better than a lot of other waterproof-breathable membranes out there.
@@xiaoben86 many not to say most of their products are made in china or other asian or south american countries. exceptions are the alpha sv and some leaf products.
"EPTFE allows body moisture to get through the garment, yet it won't allow water molecules to penetrate it". So "body moisture" is not made of water molecules, right?. If you want to use technical jargon for marketing, at least take the time to chose your words carefully.
It functions because of the surface tension of water on the surface of the membrane. The actual ways in which it works is a bit more technical than the average consumer cares to hear so they simplify it to water beadlets are larger than water vapour particles.
Body moisture is more descriptive and easier to understand to clowns like you than 'molecules'. Your self righteous attitude is reeking thru screen bro.

Mark Jacobs Anyone who has ever bought a product from Arc'teryx knows that it is not over priced, and on the contrary worth every dime. Quality cost and that's just a fact.
@@richardparker5319 So every other maker including Marmot, Patagonia, North Face etc. are 20-50% inferior to AT according to price...or is it simply that AT has marketed better to the "gotta have the label" outdoor community?

"Gore" for jackets. "Hypersmooth" for action cam. "4k" smartphone camera. The list goes on.... Marketing strategy sales at its best!
GORE's main application and sales are in the medical field. It's definitely not a gimmick to produce a waterproof/breathable membrane...
Never going back from my beta ar. I live this jacket and pants
Why is this so interesting? I love this
no one does it better. wish you guys would introduce a hunting/fishing line w/ cuts/colors to match. massive market & no one could do it like you could.
I advise Carinthia, really cool brand imo
Would love to have a alpha Sv just too much expensive for me but wow what a video too see how the best jackets in the world are made and how arcteryx care x
Nice video. Wasn't the newest version of Alpha SV released in 2017?
Goretex the best material producer
No way there destroying the environment and your health sympatex is way better
Mountain Equipment & Rab for me.
I’ve swithed to sympatex jacket and not going back- roughly same waterproofing/breathebility but its stretchable and machine washable
Great video
I'm sold on the technology.
In videos on UA-cam the Alpha SV fabric sounds so noisy.
What do you think guys ,what is the difference between Goretex -Powertex- Texapore ? 🤔
