Arc'teryx

About Arc’teryx

Arc'teryx is known for designing technical outdoor gear that performs where it matters most — in the wild, unpredictable places we love to explore. Based in the Canadian Coast Mountains, they test and refine their gear in some of the most rugged terrain around. From weatherproof jackets to precision-built backpacks, Arc'teryx outdoor gear is made for serious adventures and everyday pursuits alike. Their focus? Performance, craftsmanship and gear that lasts.

Outdoor gear design with a purpose

Everything Arc'teryx makes is built with intention. Their design process starts in-house, with a team of mountain athletes and engineers who believe good gear should do more with less. They’re big on function and clean aesthetics, with every stitch, seam and zipper placed for a reason. Over the years, they've introduced game-changing innovations like GORE-TEX Pro shells and hybrid constructions that offer durability without sacrificing comfort or weight.

Built to last, and built responsibly

Arc'teryx doesn’t just build gear that performs — they want it to perform for a long time. That means using top-quality materials and building products that hold up season after season. They’ve also made big moves toward sustainability, including circular design, take-back programs, and increasing their use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials. With their ReBIRD™ program, they’re helping keep gear in use and out of landfills through repairs, resale and upcycling.
