Great gear. The best money can buy. Most of my mountain climbing gear is Arc'terryx.

Having said that--how much performance do you honestly need from a softshell? My everyday softshell for casual wear is a Mountain Hardwear--not quite as high quality or high performance, but 1/4 the price and it keeps me warm and dry walking to and from the train station. I think an Arc'terryx might be overkill for walking the streets of Chicago.
