Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Koda Jacket

I'm a long-time lover of the Atom LT but needed something warmer. I also wanted something longer, and I found it in the Koda. I wear a S in the Atom LT and almost upsized to a M in the Koda but the S is absolutely the correct size. I'm 5'11" 165# and wear a 38R suit.

I'm so used to using this gear for hiking/mountaineering that in the past year I started trying some of the around town jackets. Needless to say, I've run into a lot of issues. I received this the other day and it came with thread pulls on the back (the Infinitum itself), loose threads in about 5-6 locations, what appears to be tensioning issues, and an irregular cuff (which has happened to me 3 times in the past year. It happened once with a Radsten, once with a therme and now with this. I was actually willing to look past the cuff which due to crooked lamination made the right sleeve roll in on itself. But upon further inspection I noticed the other issues. It also looked horrible and almost as if it was tattered in spots. I would've posted pictures but I already packed it up to be sent back. Anyway I'm sending it back and I don't honestly want to take a chance with another one. I'll stick to the mountaineering gear from now on because I seem to have better luck with that as far as quality goes
