I like the Altas, but they were regularly turning into shin guards.
If you tightened them up enough to keep them from slipping, they cut into the backs of the legs.
The Arc'Teryx did not have these problems. They are expensive though, and the company seems difficult to deal with directly. Probably best ordered through REI or another dealer.
