I have a pair of these and the wandering bite point is worse than ever. Several bleeds later and they still do it.

Why Arc’teryx Thinks It Can Outperform Established MTB Brands
I have yet to find a jacket that actually works for mountain biking. Nothing is breathable enough to cope with a fire road slog for more than about two minutes and then on the way down it gets covered in mud and water gets in around the cuffs and neck. Then you wash it and the DWR doesn't work anymore and you get even sweatier and the fabric wets out and eventually you get cold and damp.
Id be interested to see how it holds up to a British winter.

WBD Sports Reports Another Year of 'Record-Breaking' Mountain Bike World Cup Viewership
The pool of people watching the events has changed and I’m sure they are getting a lot of views from random sports fans who watch several different sports but have lost core enthusiast mountain bike fans.
These figures are tantamount to WBD marking their own homework as well so not to be trusted. They are mainly produced to give investors a warm fuzzy glow and to pump the share price. They also are a success story to sell to advertisers to generate more revenue.
On balance it’s probably a good thing that the figures are good. we might get that much talked about outside industry funding.
