I’ve had a perfect experience with my Arc’teryx Alpha FL from 2013. The marketing said Goretex Active, and it worked like a charm. I’ve worn it on three hour bike rides, snowboarding all day, 5-10 hour winter and summer hikes. I took it to Iceland and Greenland (and was quite active in the rain) and it just worked. I live in Seattle and only maybe two days a year did I wish that it had pit vents. It’s expensive[0], but the technology works! [0] Given it’s lasted 6 years, and still looks good, I now categorize it as an investment rather than an expense. I love it so much I want to give them more money, so this spring I’ll be buying a new one.
