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, which covers 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 →
