One huge redeeming factor for the Arcteryx jackets are that they are a local company and if you buy it from an authorized retailer, you'll get a lifetime warranty. Get a hole in it, they'll patch it. Zipper is worn out, they'll fix it.
I personally like Arcteryx because of their fit, but like Eugene mentioned - not all their gear is worth the high price.
I don't know if I can recommend the Fission SV though - because it's insulated - it's really only good for colder weather. If you're going to get a lot of wear out of it, go for it - but personally, I'd prefer to get a hard shell that I can throw a layer underneath - because you'll be able to wear it year round. That said, you did just get a shell recently, so I don't know if you'd get another one - like the Alpha SV or the Thetha SV (I find the Theta waaay too big, but I know people who prefer the looser fit)
btw -
www.backcountry.com and a lot of other american sites usually have really good savings for Arcteryx Gear - but Arcteryx stops them from shipping across the border, so you'll need to get it shipped to blaine/pt Roberts.
