Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments on the Arc'teryx and not on the HOKA.
- Both carry a flag for Antimony in polyester and Microplastic shedding, so neither choice avoids it.
- The Arc'teryx is 100% polyester knit, no water-repellent treatment where the HOKA is Polyester/nylon blend athletic knit, no disclosed DWR or stain treatment, 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 →
