It seems to be an ordinary jacket, but it is like a treasure when you buy it?
After queuing for three and a half hours, I was fortunate to grab a limited jacket for the Year of the Arc'teryx DragonIs it an "artifact" or an "IQ tax"? Let's hear the big truth
1. Limited jacket for the Year of the Arc'teryx Dragon
To measure the quality of a jacket, it is mainly analyzed from three aspects:Appearance design, functional configuration, and wearing experience。No brand filters, no blowing or black, these words are not spit out after wearing them once.
Design
As a limited edition for the Year of the DragonArchaeopteryx Alpha SV Jacket, expected, reasonable, the main focus is a "Chinese love".
In terms of color matching,It is a large area of fluorescent yellow with navy blue, and the zipper and logo are embellished with redIt looks very festive and does have a "Chinese New Year" feel.
I adopted it at the sleeve positionDragon scale patternAs an embellishment, highlight the 2024 Year of the Dragon limited New Year theme.
The official explanation for the color scheme is: "Yellow has the meaning of wealth in traditional Chinese culture, and red is a good representative of the Chinese New Year atmosphere." Unexpectedly, a large wave of "Chinese leeks" was cut for this point.
Functional configuration
Archaeopteryx as an outdoor brand"Ceiling".There is no doubt about the functional configuration of their jackets, which is absolutely genuine and of excellent quality, which can be found faulty.
AdoptionTriple laminated fabric for GTX Pro, Archaeopteryx's top jacket configuration, the width of the laminated strip is only 8mm, and the seam stitches need to be sewn 16 stitches per inchWindproof, waterproof, breathable, breathableand with the bestDurability for harsh environments such as high mountains

The original price was 8200 yuan, and now it has been fried to 120,000 yuan may not be much pressure for the middle class, but for ordinary people, such a dress may cost two or three months of salary.
Of course, there are "bird fans" who will say that the configuration is good, and it is indeed true, butAside from the cost of materials, processes, etcwords, actuallyThe premium of the bird's clothes is also quite high
3. Fashion summary
