hello !  I'm looking for an arcteryx jacket for the winter and I found this one.  The person sells it for €160 because the coat hood  is missing.  It is a seller with a lot of positive opinions but I still have my doubts.  Can someone reassure me or prevent me from doing something stupid by telling me if it's a true jacket  or not please?  Thanks a lot !!

I’m 90% sure that’s fake. Unless it’s some streetwear thing that they make, I’ve never seen a jacket in that style by Arcteryx. Also the hoods are not removable.

Edit: After doing some googling, I found the same jacket in different colors, with different names, all sold by weird third party off brand companies and now I’m 100% sure it’s fake.

Unless you can clearly name the Alpha/Beta/Gamma-AR SL XYZ whatever code Arcteryx uses to name their clothes, I wouldn’t buy it.

it’s fake, but it begs the question why you are specifically looking for an Arc’teryx?     That jacket is clearly opposite of everything Arc is known for.   Why are you even considering it anyway?  It’s a black garbage bag with a logo sewn on.   If you’re looking for that sort of jacket for just general use, your money is best spent elsewhere.
