Arc'teryx is renowned for its class-leading innovation and obsessive design. They produce premium technical outdoor gear designed and tested in Canada since 1989. Expect only the best from their cutting-edge designs and the highest-quality fabrics.

Notoriously Innovative. Authentically Arc’teryx

Arc’teryx gear is athlete-tested in the big mountains and all conditions. 

Since their inception, Arc’teryx has been a driving force of innovation in their industry. That’s why their name has become synonymous with obsessive design. Every detail matters in extreme conditions, and they;re a brand built for the mountains.

Design details which set Arc’teryx apart here a few key innovations that set them apart:

Hadron™ - Real tough, real light, mountain ready

Redefining the standard of superlight durability, our revolutionary Hadron™ fabric lets you take a load off — after all, it’s as tough as fabric twice its weight. In the mountains, weight reigns supreme, every ounce counts and durability matters. Watching their athletes evolve and seeing a need to create something light, packable and incredibly durable, Arc’teryx created a new innovation — ground up.

Arc’teryx to the core, Hadron™ is a revolution in design and was a success straight out of the gate — one of their first athlete samples is still in use today (5-years later). They dare you to wear it out. 

You don’t have to be a scientist to understand the importance of lightweight and durable.…But for those of you who like to tech out: Hadron™ fabric is made by weaving an impossibly fine-gauge liquid crystal polymer (material with exceptional mechanical strength) into already durable ripstop (reinforced gridded nylon) to create best-in-class abrasion resistance that’s as durable as fabric twice its weight.

The Stormhood™ - Protection with a clear view

One of the most essential features is also the hardest to achieve. There are invisible layers of ingenuity and Arc’teryx DNA hiding beneath that seemingly simple StormHood™.

The StormHood™. Is a signature detail in many of Arc’teryx’ products. Designed with the right combination of tailoring, materials and construction. 

The compression system works in conjunction with a stovepipe shape to do two crucial things: first lock the hood into position, and allow your head to twist and turn without obstructing your view. 

All those meticulously designed patterns and multi-layer construction need something to give it shape. The laminated brim must stay intact and not collapse, crush or crease when being compressed, and still bounce back after being packed.
