Arc'teryx

About Arc’teryx

Arc’teryx is founded on the idea that there is always a better way. From the first innovative Arc’teryx jacket, the brand name has become synonymous with obsessive design. Inspired by and tested in the coastal mountains of North Vancouver, Arc’teryx Canada could not exist anywhere else. When the most extreme outdoor conditions live right outside your door, you need gear that stands up to the toughest elements.

Obsessive design

Since their inception Arc’teryx has been a driving force of innovation in the outdoor industry. In extreme conditions, every detail matters, which is why you’ll find game-changing touches like micro seam technology, Stormhood™ protection and watertight zippers on so many Arc’teryx jackets performance gear. If it’s not built for the mountains, it’s not Arc’teryx.

The iconic Arc’teryx jacket

From lightweight, insulated jackets to weather-blocking shells Arc’teryx jackets have set new standards for mountain protection since they first launched the Alpha SV in 1998. A refined silhouette, a revolutionary material and weighing 300g lighter than anything else in the market at the time, when the Arc’teryx Alpha SV Jacket launched, it changed the whole industry – but in typical Arc’teryx fashion, they didn’t stop there.

Designed for the long run

Arc’teryx views sustainability through the lens of product philosophy, responsible manufacturing and community engagement. It’s not just a jacket, they put their best energy into designing gear that’s built to last longer in extreme conditions, from climbing harnesses to trail running shoes. Sourcing the best possible materials for a lighter impact on the planet is crucial to protecting the longevity of the wild spaces where we live and play.
