I’m hecking tired of normies walking around with arcteryx. This shit is worn by navy seals why the hell does some forty something need a $500 rain jacket?

>why the hell does some forty something need a $500 rain jacket?
for when it rains. what a stupid hecking question
Get a leather jacket instead
Are people serious when they say you need to spend mid-high triple digits on one?
What’s wrong with something cheaper or with pleather?
different people different lifestyles anon.
>we get abt 100in of cold rain
and the average household income is $180,000. the average home price is over $900,000. my neighbors buy their 15 year old kids teslas. you think when it rains that much here anyone even blinks an eye at a $500 jacket?
the cheaper brands like north face and patagonia and fjallraven are popular too but mostly just because they’re sold at the mall. there’s a whole class of consoomers who don’t care about the price tag only having the best.
>what’s wrong with something cheaper
nothing really. columbia makes a better rain jacket than arcteryx but their material looks ugly and they don’t design their hoods too well. redditors in their basement like timmermade.com make a better rain jacket than arcteryx for $100 but it looks ugly but i’d much rather have it than an arcteryx out in the backcountry.
shit even from a purely function perspective the $20 frogg togg ultra lites from walmart have some big advantages over an arcteryx jacket in certain scenarios. i wouldn’t wear it around town and they tear easier than a mcdonalds wrapper but there’s a reason they beat out arcteryx, and really all membrane style jackets combined on long distance backpacker gear surveys. its all trust fund babies who do that shit so cost isnt the reason.
Don’t quote me on this because I could be wrong but I think the biggest priority is getting real leather.
The fake, or "vegan" leather as they now call it, will probably start peeling and breaking down after about a year of use, sometimes less.
I got one for like 300 euro some years back, still comfortable, still holding up but then again I could’ve just gotten lucky.
You could also try thrifting I suppose.
I got a Tommy Hilfiger one for like $200 and it lasted a good few years, but yeah the shell did eventually start flaking off like Goldmember’s skin.
Did you know that Woody Harrelson’s father was a hitman?
He’s a gitman AND an IM????
My best friend in 8th grade became a serious drug addict after high school. He ended up committing a murder to get out of debt with a dealer and his first parole hearing isn’t until 2045.
>why the hell does some forty something need a $500 rain jacket?
moron we get abt 100in of cold rain where i live
i get my moneys worth and then some

anon you’re making it really obvious you don’t go outside…
what pants and shoes do you wear for rain?
Lmao I just got a mental image of an old chinese woman with downs syndrome using this on a sunny day
but yeah the whole appeal to arcteryx is it looks presentable as citygay wear but also performs for outdoor recreation. the target audience is rich cityfags who do shit like that on the weekend. and people who live in shit weather areas.
>do shit like that on the weekend
But they actually dont they just want to look like they do
if you live in a northern climate owning a good rain jacket is like putting tires on your car. even the homeless people have rain jackets i’m pretty sure the city gives them away. you see little old grandma ladies decked out in tnf and patagonia when it rains. you’d have to be a fresh off the boat immigrant or a californian stupid who just moved here to not have a packable rain jacket in the trunk of your car or something.
why does a navy seal need a 500$ jacket, they should be shot on the spot
Because the military has to spend their budget or the budget gets lowered. I hate the state and the government so much it’s unreal
>I hate the state and the government so much it’s unreal
I remember being 15
If you’re an adult who has any inkling of an idea on how much money the government blows/wastes/embezzles and don’t hate them, you’re rarted
I remember being 20
hebrew detected
the whole country of israel uses LULZ apparently
be careful bro
there are so many hebrews on this site its crazy
in my area i barely run across hebrews
even in the uni i went to they were only 9 percent of the student population
but yet on LULZ theyre everywhere
Only a hebrew could cry poor as the take your money
type "kensington ave camera 3" into youtube and if you’re poorfagging harder than homeless fentanyl addicts you need to re-evaluate your life on some level, you either have some growing up to do or you hecked up severely somewhere along the way if $500 for outerwear seems unthinkable to you.
or don’t, posts per day on this board would tank if the zoomers took that to heart.
> spending $500 on fabric made of plastic that supposed to get muddy, wet, ripped, scuffed
You’re just a stupid. Keep trying hard to look better than dope heads I guess.
hecking moron.
do you know what "hardshell" means and the difference between a "hardshell" and a "rain shell"?
learning that answers your concerns.
shorts and runners. when its really wet i have some dwr treated climbing pants. when its really really cold shell pants.
arcteryx costed more than tnf and was well known in hiking and techwear circles a decade ago. they’re losing favor post chinese ownership. not my favorite brand but they still make a good hardshell.
its really easy to find 100% wool fitted caps. pretty sure lids at your local mall has some.
i’m not american.
be glad
What country
What country where people wearing arcteryx
so all those fluro orange, yellow and green jackets are for operators operating?
seals must be pretty hardcore dudes if they do their missions in colours literally designed to be the most visible.
>Navy seal
Other than bumming around and leeching off government money they don’t do shit
HEY buddy, they also run drugs through military bases and sell pre workout… so watch your mouth.

Wait. You think Navy SEALs wear this overpriced roadman shit? They were expensive shoes and then cheap mass produced technical fabrics from tactical contractors. If you pay for this Arc’Teryx shit you’re just an idiot.
>roadman shit
anon
>navy seals exclusively wear arcteryx
lol before hypebeasts a decade ago arcteryx was worn by losers who couldnt afford north face – a complete 360
I bought an arxteryx baseball cap because it was the only baseball cap I could find made of wool.
It was hecking expensive but I thought "well, it’s the only all-wool baseball cap i have seen, so whatever."
Turns out it’s actually majority artificial fibres. I just (stupidly) assumed if they were hecking me in the ass it would be 100%.
>arcteryx
Arc what? Never heard of it. Only women and Black folk look at the brands of your clothes and get mad
We get Patagonia clothing issued to us in Army special operations. My team did get arcteryx leaf atom jackets though just because my team sergeant is a dead bird whore and ordered some for us.
