Alpha SV LNY edition

Purchased in late February and last worn in early April. Since I'm an Arc'teryxaholic, I have many other jackets to wear. In total, I only wore it about 10 times, and only around town, never on any adventures. yet, it looks like I wore it on a 2 week canoe trip in Algonquin park. I have no explanation for the condition. To me it looks like the blue dye has penetrated through the yellow. An employee at an outdoor store thought the same thing too. Anyway, I UPSed it to Vancouver for further analysis. They performed a deep wash, but no luck. They said there was nothing they could do, so they gave me a fair discount on my next purchase. So, I got another one in a different colour. If you're an Arc'teryx nut like me, than you know that the iconic Alpha SV needs no introduction. Arc'teryx's top of the line hard shell. The SV stands for severe conditions, and it certainly delivers. Considered by many mountaineering experts to be the finest shell on the market today. Designed to be worn by professional mountain guides or on multi day expeditions where weather is sure to play a factor. The Alpha SV has saved lives on the side of mountains. Featuring Gore Tex Pro, which is Gore's newest and most advanced material. It is only available on high end mountaineering clothing. It is also treated with DWR for added protection. The water just beads right off of it. No amount of precipitation or wind can penetrate it. It also has a RECCO reflector, which is used for rescue.
