Arc’teryx Climbing Academy \/\/ Next Gen GORE-TEX Products<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been staying out of trouble lately\u2014and it hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed. The teams at Arc\u2019teryx<\/a> and GORE-TEX<\/a> kindly invited us to the Langdales to test their new Next Gen fabrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might remember our visit to the Arc\u2019teryx Climbing Academy VIP day<\/a> around this time last year. This year, they invited WCH specifically to help trial the new Beta SL Jackets<\/a> and GORE-TEX footwear, featuring the updated Next Gen fabrics, as we tackled a series of outdoor challenges throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were hoping for rain to really put the GORE-TEX through its paces, but the four weeks leading up to the shoot brought nothing but sunshine. So instead, we jumped into streams and scrambled up rocks to test the waterproofing and durability in our own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler: The Beta SL Jackets<\/a> felt incredibly breathable, even as we scrambled up the rock face<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally launched in the AW22 season, the Next Gen GORE-TEX fabrics will be rolled out across all Arc\u2019teryx GORE-TEX products starting in AW25. These fabrics use a new, PFAS-free bluesign\u00ae approved ePE membrane and incorporate recycled textiles, significantly reducing carbon emissions as measured by the HIGG MSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the eco-friendly overhaul, performance hasn\u2019t been compromised. The Next Gen fabrics meet the same rigorous standards as their predecessors\u2014lightweight, thinner, yet just as tough and reliable. They still uphold the GORE-TEX promise: \u2018Guaranteed To Keep You Dry\u2019 while delivering in both form and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
