ART of the CRAFT: ARC’TERYX
Rooted in sustainability and solution-oriented design, the Canadian technical apparel brand takes you mountain high.
Outdoorsy types, take note: no matter where your active pursuits take you, Arc’teryx is exactly what you’ll want to be sporting. The Vancouver-born adventure brand implicitly understands the wilderness and what it takes for athletes and adventurers alike to be successful in it. With its HQ only 60 minutes from complete back country in the Coast Mountains, Arc’teryx’s design team takes new innovations and yet-to-be-released products into this real-life testing ground. From there, proven pieces get the stamp of approval.
To experience Arc’teryx is to love it. Everything from merino wool-imbued base layers and trail-trekking boots to insulated jackets and versatile day packs are highly considered. Not sure where to start in the breadth of their offering? Best-selling styles include the multi-use Atom Hoody, the ski-ready Sentinel Jacket and the fair trade-certified Ralle Down Parka made for mountain living.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, sustainability remains a core tenet of the Arc’teryx brand. The driving force behind their eco-friendly mission: durability. When a product can last through anything—even the repeated rigors of the most treacherous mountain ranges in the world—that’s the true mark of an Earth-respecting brand. What’s more Arc’teryx pushes itself to reinvent and revise their top-selling pieces with eco targets constantly being met and raised.
