Arc'teryx Leaf Consumer "tactical" bandwagoners

You can buy a rubber rain suit and claim it does the same thing if you want.... and for some people it will.

I think that a lot of this stems from people really not knowing, or experiencing the difference. I recall my first Arc'Teryx mid layer I recieved as a gift, I had to change the size and simply couldn't believe it was $150, I couldn't understand where the "value" was. It wasn't until I wore it on a day when temps dropped into the single digits that I was amazed by how well it worked, now I have three of them and wear them all the time. I suppose it is true that, "you've got to know, to understand".

I picked up another Arc Hardshell jacket and a pair of softshell pants on the weekend, not the LEAF line, but absolutely fantastic deals with the end of winter season sales going on.
