The Uniqlo is not BIFL (loses feathers and tears easily) and I wouldn't recommend the Aritzia puffer for anything mildly outdoorsy. Patagonia and Arc are good for their warranties. However I was surprised about how flimsy the Torrentshell is when I saw it in stores. It wouldn't last sustained downpours and I think it's best for lighter use.

I like some Patagonia but I recommend trying them on first and feeling the material . I have a soft shell that is terrible quality .

Atom LT is my most worn jacket and I have 25+ patagonias and arcteryx. Make sure to get the hooded version.
