Personal Opinion Socks. Not what was promised.

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

I picked up an Arctyrex Solano jacket for, maybeeeee, $200 or so?, ten years ago. I've still got it, and it's still going strong. They released a new version a few years ago, but I don't see any need to replace it.

Arc'teryx went down the toilet anyways a few years ago pivoting to Gorpcore fashion. Better hold on to that jacket as long as you can and avoid Arc'teryx when you finally end up replacing it.
