About Arc'teryx
Arc'teryx makes technical mountain clothing and climbing equipment, founded in Vancouver in 1989 and named after the archaeopteryx. It builds its shell jackets with taped seams and laminated construction at prices well above the rest of the outdoor market, and it has become an urban status garment as much as a mountaineering one.
