Lately, I've seen a ton of posts saying you can get "real" Arc'teryx jacket for just $80. I'm a big fan of Arc'teryx, and I just can't stand by and watch! I spent two whole days putting together some really useful tips for telling if it's real or fake. After you read this, I'll show you how to spot fake Arc'teryx as sharp as a playboy can spot a tricky girl!
5 Ways to Tell if It's Fake Just by Looking
The Logo Test
Real Arc'teryx: It looks really cool! The ribs have different angles, and the shiny part sparkles in the sun ✨
Fake Arc'teryx: The lines look all stiff, like a kid's drawing. Shiny? No way! The coating comes right off when you scratch it.
The Fabric Showdown
Real Arc'teryx: It's got that awesome GTX tech! It's so light, you barely feel like you're wearing anything. You can stay dry even in a huge rainstorm, like a walking lotus leaf
Fake Arc'teryx: It feels just like a cheap plastic raincoat! You'll sweat like crazy, like you're in a sauna. Waterproof? It can't even handle a little water poured on it. Usually, it's some T800 fabric that's no good.
The Zipper Comparison
Real Arc'teryx: It's got those custom YKK waterproof zippers! They're so smooth, you can open and close 'em with one hand in a flash, and the color matches the clothes perfectly.
Fake Arc'teryx: The zipper gets stuck all the time, like it's rusty. The color of the zipper pull looks all wrong, especially the logo.
The Stitch Check
Real Arc'teryx: There's more than 14 stitches per centimeter! The tape on the seams is smooth, no bubbles, and the stitches are straighter than a line.
Fake Arc'teryx: The stitches are so far apart, you could plant stuff in between. There are so many loose threads, you could make a sweater out of 'em, and the tape on the seams is all bubbly.
The Hang Tag Trap
Real Arc'teryx: The hang tag's attached to the side pocket zipper! The info on the tech card and product card is super precise, down to the millimeter, and you can check the UPC code on the official website.
Fake Arc'teryx: The hang tag's in the middle! The writing's all blurry, like in a cheap fake book. And now, they're even selling fake hang tags for 300 bucks each!
How to Avoid Getting Scammed
✖ Don't fall for "original items/factory leftovers/stuff from overseas with the tags cut off"! Arc'teryx destroys all the extra stuff, so if it's supposed to be "leaked", it's fake!
✖ Watch out for "can be checked in the store"! The salespeople in the store don't have to help you check, it's just a trick to get you to buy.
✔ Only go to the official places: The Arc'teryx official website or the real stores (not the ones that aren't official).
So, I've grabbed a bunch of close-up pics from folks online, showing real Arc'teryx jackets next to the knock-offs, you know? To help you spot the fakes. Just check out the little details in the pictures, compare 'em. Hopefully, this'll save you from getting ripped off.
How to Spot Fake Arc'teryx Websites
When you're shopping online, how can you tell if an Arc'teryx website is the real deal or a fake? Here are some tips.
First off, if you don't want to take any chances, just stick to the official Arc'teryx websites. Like, go to https://www.arcteryx.com and those others. If you're thinking about buying from a retailer, use the "Find a Retailer" thing on the product page to check it out first.
Don't fall for those websites with words like "clearance" that promise super - low prices. Arc'teryx makes high - end outdoor gear, so if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Before you buy anything, look for the seller's contact info. Scam websites usually don't give out an email, address, or phone number.
Also, check the website's domain name. The only official Arc'teryx site with "outlet" in the name is outlet.arcteryx.com. And if a site has "arcteryx" in the domain but isn't one of the official ones, watch out. And if the discounts are huge, that's a big red flag for fake products.
What to Do If You Encounter Fake Arc'teryx Products
So, if you end up with a fake Arc'teryx product or spot a website selling fakes, Arc'teryx has got your back. They've got a messaging system you can use. And don't worry about losing your money. They'll give you a certificate to start the refund process in your country.
Arc'teryx is really serious about fighting fraud. If you're still not sure about a retailer, even after our tips, just give their customer service a shout. They'll tell you all about the retailer and if it's okay to buy.
If you think you've bought or found a fake, report it to reportafake@arcteryx.com. Usually, you can get your money back with Arc'teryx's proof form if you used Visa or MasterCard. For more questions, call 866 - 458 - 2473 or hit up their customer service at https://arcteryx.com/help/contact.
