Yup. While I haven't had any Gore Tex issue with my Arcteryx jackets, I have a pair of Salomon shoes that had one of the panels delaminate. I haven't heard back yet about what they're going to do with the shoe, but they have a guarantee that they'll either fix it, repair it or replace it. Either way, I'm happy.

I went into an outerwear store today in Toronto to check out some jackets, and according to the guy who works there, he said that the Cerium has a common issue of losing down by feathers coming out of the jacket in various areas. I had a look online at the reviews and this really does seem to be a common occurrence. I know Arcteryx will replace it if it's defective... but I'd prefer not to have to go through that process.
Lomac have you experienced any of this?
I also hear a lot of good things about the Atom, but the styling is a bit too relaxed for my taste.
I'm leaning towards the Columbia jacket for now... Gonna head to a Columbia store tomorrow to try it on.

I have noticed a little bit of down coming out of the jacket, but nothing major. It's maybe one piece every few weeks. That said, I'm probably harder on my jackets than most people, so I'm not expecting to get that long of a lifespan out of it. If it starts shedding sooner than later, I'm gonna blame myself more than Arcteryx.
