Founded in 1989, Arc’teryx set out to design the best possible outdoor gear for action on the mountains. Over the course of the last three and a half decades, they did more than just create top of the line apparel, they created a movement.
Synonymous with gorpcore and techwear, Arc’teryx brings premium craftsmanship to everything they produce. Which explains why the bird logo isn’t only a fixture on the slopes, it’s seen equally as often on city streets. With Arc’teryx it’s not just about being prepared for whatever the day holds, it’s about doing it all in style. Coming from the world’s largest temperate rainforest, and designed in response to the needs of mountain athletes Arc’teryx knows exactly what people are looking for when it comes to gear that can move through the day with you. While the styling may be simple and functional, that’s also the appeal – clean, unrestricted, and unmistakably Arc.
The brand has become a fixture built for the city, and that’s exactly where Arc’teryx thrives. From Frank Ocean to Bella in streetwear culture – worn in clubs, on subways, and anywhere people move with intention. The line between lifestyle and culture? Arc’teryx erased it. It’s not trendy, it’s practical. And practical never gets old.
This latest drop spans the full Arc'teryx range, from backcountry essentials to everyday staples. Some pieces are constructed with Gore-Tex to keep you dry, others are packed with coreloft insulation to keep you warm from street to summit. On the footwear side, the Norvan 4 Nivalis is a new shoe this season from Arc’teryx – a waterproof trail runner designed for technical terrain, featuring an over-ankle gaiter, speed lace closure, and Vibram Megagrip lugged sole for grip on unstable ground. With these shoes laced up you’ll walk with confidence, whether the trek is up a trail or down Granville street.
