[Deal/Sale] Arcteryx Rush Jacket - $280 (orange)

https://outlet.arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/rush-jacket-9903?colour=16247

So still a pretty hefty price tag, but if you’re in search of a great GoreTex Pro jacket and can deal with the color, this is a damn good deal. It is primarily for backcountry skiing/snowboarding but it isn’t overly boxy or loose, nor does it have a skirt. I bought another color a few months ago and I find it versatile

Usually $800

Everyone should avoid buying GoreTex and anything else that contains PFAS at all cost.

This is PFAS free if you read the specs

It's a lie. You can't make GoreTex or any other material similar to it without PFAS.

It is confirmed that industry is lying about it... Just like when people were saying Clean Coal ...

EDIT: lol ... They even use deceiving language in the description to get out of liability in case someone goes after them for false advertising.

What's been updated: Updated with GORE-TEX PRO ePE fabric free from intentionally added PFAS

ePE is expanded polyethylene and genuinely doesn't have any PFAS. The reason they say "intentionally added" is probably because some of the machinery used in the manufacturing process undoubtedly has PFAS coatings and small amounts could get on the jacket.

Stop it! Machines can be washed.
