$350 for a tarp covered in PFAS. Arc'teryx is the worst offender for forever chemicals and their shitty build quality

The GORE‑TEX ePE membrane is light and thin, yet strong, and it's PFAS-free* with a reduced carbon footprint**. To form next-gen GORE‑TEX Products, the membrane is combined with carefully selected textiles including recycled, solution or undyed textiles***.
I have a fair bit of Arcteryx ski gear, most is 5-10 yrs old, well used and loved, and has held up very well.

They tend to delaminate and the company just says thats what they do and do not fix them. Lifetime is just a word to them.

Usually I don't gatekeep premium brands but I thought this price was for an actual winter jacket on discount that I would be interested in. Disappointed it's actually a $500 MSRP rain jacket
