acer910 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Grabbed this on sale, no way I was going to pay the original 210 for it, but after using it for a while, I certainly would pay that price for a replacement. This too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 acer910: nice arc'teryx. i'm kinda pissed cuz my pro shell seam went undone. that means i gotta return it and wait like 6 weeks for the repair or they give me a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 That sucks, how long had you been wearing it before that happened? It does kind of seem like they'd wear out a lot quicker than say, a carhart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 @acer910- This season is the first season of actual wear. I bought it in the tail end of last season on sale. It's a parka style and the seam became unglued at the bottom back. I do a lot of driving so that could be the case. @fist666- Mine was made in Canada, one of the last ones according to the salesperson. That's one of the main driving forces in buying the jacket, that and the 60% off. Who knows maybe the Chinese are better in this case?

acer910 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I bet it was just a defect. If a company built their 200+ dollar jackets to fall apart after one season, I doubt they would do too well... But on that note I probably should have paid more attention to the warranty when I bought it. That's one things I'm really stoked about when it comes to expensive as shit hiking clothes, there's usually an unconditional warranty, which is great.

Fist 666 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 yeah shit just happens sometimes. i've had some salomon shoes have a toe blow out after a week. that was a freak instance for sure. where inspectors fall short good customer service should pick up the slack.

acer910 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yea I talked to a friend about Merrell boots because I was looking at the Moab Mids, she said they sucked because the sole came off of hers after a couple of months. That shit doesn't even happen to knockoff chuck taylors so I figured it was just a defect and ignored her advice. Best decision I ever made, as I love my merrell boots. Wear em every day.

Guest Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 My Wife just copped this Arc'Teryx Stinger Jacket for Valentine's. I'm pretty hyped. Fuck North Face. Made in Canadia. This was the jacket. Gonna send it back this week. I hope they just repair it and not give me a new one from China. Like I said this was made in Canada. I've had north face shells where I had to return twice. North Face then gave me the newer shittier version of my old jacket. I returned it again because it was falling apart but they didn't repair it because the damage wasn't on the seams. Bullshit.

acer910 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Have you looked into non arteryx repair shops? I'm thinking something that expensive, would be worth paying what it would cost for someone else to fix it instead of risking them sending you a new asian one. And if you're in a large city, you should be able to find a tailor willing to work on that kind of jacket no problem. I've got a Patagonia Torrentshell rain shell, it's doubled as my wind blocker on a little over a thousand freight miles and has held up surprisingly well. I wouldn't have guessed the fabric they used to be so durable. I haven't really trusted North Face with anything except packs, as I've already got pretty much everything I need. But I can say the Northface Terra 35 is one of the best packs I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 @acer910 I think I'm just gonna send it back to Arc'teryx. What's the use of a lifetime warranty if I can't use it? Who knows maybe the Chinese ones are constructed better? Doubt it. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If I were you, I'd try and read up about the switch in manufacturers, and see if it's had any negative consequences. For a brand like Arc'teryx I'm sure there's tons of people writing reviews like that. Maybe I'm just weird about shipping things off that I care about, but I'd almost always rather have a local tailor repair it, especially if that exact jacket is no longer available. But then again, its just a jacket :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drue_Down Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 240hz (I couldn't give a shart about 3d) I suspect my worthless sister (the female Frank) broke my 52" Mitsubishi LCD while house sitting, but I cant prove it. I could have gotten the 70" sharp for $250 more, but it is 120hz, less colors, and well, 70" is fucking obnoxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da1lyoperations Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'd only ever really trust them to about half of what they're rated for. It's pressure really. So even if you're standing in shallow water, but a wave hits it, that can do it too. Christmas present to myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
