I bought a Canadian-made Arcteryx Hyllus (or whatever the predecessor was called) about five years ago. It's a great piece of equipment, especially because of its high, flared collar, which fits comfortably around the jaw line. Unfortunately Arcteryx now makes the Hyllus in China and the quality has slipped. The tailoring is poor. It's less well insulated, constructed and designed. It seems Arcteryx is more interested in mass-marketing its product than meeting the needs of people who spend significant time in extreme elements. If you're buying a soft shell to run weekend errands, you won't notice the difference.
