Technical Outerwear from Arc'teryx
With a solid few seasons spent in our camp, Arc'teryx are one of the world's leading outerwear brands. Founded in 1989 by local climbers in North Vancouver they began by developing solid lines of climbing gear before expanding to the world of apparel. The name Arc'teryx is a reference to the Archaeopteryx, a bird-like dinosaur, as a way of presenting their passionate plan for evolutionary innovation in the outerwear industry. This drive to improve on already tried and tested design is the reason that Arc'teryx were given the go-ahead to work with GORE-TEX® fabrics before they even created their first jacket.
Their gear is the product of choice for world-class athletes and has been taken on expeditions to the highest and steepest slopes of the globe. Finally however, the Beta SL Hybrid jackets have reached their pinnacle of testing - we woke up late and took them for a photoshoot up in the Lakes on a comfortable, only slightly soaking day. Lights! Cameras! Make-up! Action!
As part of the SL (meaning "Superlight") range, our chosen jackets are ideal for travel and daily use as well as for expedition and technical climbing. Made from seriously lightweight GORE-TEX® shells they're durable, comfortable, and most importantly they keep you completely covered from wind and rain. With Paclite® Plus technology these silhouettes can be rolled up and scrunched down to a tiny size, and stowed away into your bag just waiting for you to get decked by some showers.
With a clean range of t-shirts, caps and bags to match you can fully kit yourself out like a pro.
