Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments, Antimony in polyester and Microplastic shedding on the Arc'teryx and not on the HOKA.
- We flag Azo dyes and colorant heavy metals, Formaldehyde resins in finishes, Microplastic shedding on wear and wash and Antimony in polyester polymer on the HOKA and not on the Arc'teryx.
- The Arc'teryx is 100% polyester knit, no water-repellent treatment where the HOKA is polyester mesh and fabric, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
