You would be only partially correct in that.
This is incorrect, all Arc'teryx Gore-Tex products are manufactured at the factory Vancouver BC, even NON leaf stuff.
This is true, a lot of their products are made overseas. What has happened is with the high demand for their products, there just aren't enough skilled laborers here in BC to keep up with the demand. This happens often when a small company makes products in country and then get's really popular. What they do is source out to country's where being a seamstress is a common profession (like China) and then increase their Inspection process and quality control, on this end. Which is also why we now see LEAF factory seconds, which never came out before they sourced to China
Correct.
I have an Arcteryx Beta gore tex jacket and it is made in CHINA.
80% of the Arcteryx Gore tex jackets I looked at 1.5 years ago were all made in China.
There is a few odd jackets that are made in Canada still.
