Arc'teryx (stylized ɅRC'TERYX) is an outdoor clothing and sporting goods company founded in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 1989. The name and logo of Arc'teryx refer to the Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird. The logo is based on the "Berlin specimen" of the bird, the most complete skeleton to date.
Needing a larger manufacturing space, the company moved its headquarters to Burnaby, British Columbia, in 1999. In 2005, the Arc'teryx head office moved back across the Burrard Inlet to North Vancouver. Their products are usually associated with climbing, skiing, snowboarding, backpacking, and hiking-related activities.
Originally named Rock Solid by founders Dave Lane and Jeremy Guard, the company's first line of products were climbing gear. Using a heat laminate (thermolamination) technology, the partners designed and marketed the Vapor harness, which would become the company's most popular item. In the second year of operations, after a series of relocations and staff additions, Arc'teryx released the Bora backpack using the same Vapor technology. In 1996, after obtaining a license from W. L. Gore & Associates for use of the Gore-Tex fabric, the company adapted it for its new line of outdoor technical apparel. Top selling items in their clothing line include the Theta AR and Gamma MX jackets. Over the years Arc'teryx' designs have won a number of awards from Backpacker, Outside, Climbing, Men's Journal, and Powder magazines.

Paul McSorely, Tony Richardson, Joshua Lavigne and Crosby Johnston travel to the remote Baffin Island with the goal of a first ascent of the North Face of the Beluga Spire. Prior to even leaving for the expedition their local Clyde River guide, Levi suggested they not even make the journey as they were hitting the tail end of the preferred, but short summer season. The Beluga Spire is located in the Walker Arm of the Sam Ford Fiord, about 160km boat ride from the village of Clyde River NU. After two attempts of battling sea ice, turning a 6 hour boat ride into 12 hours, they landed at the toe of the Broad Peak glacier and bid farewell to their guide team...

Alpha SV Jacket: http://amzn.to/1o7t6Kb Beta LT Jacket: http://amzn.to/1iRIaWV Theta SV Hybrid Jacket: http://amzn.to/1tG7R1P I was a bit confused when I first started looking at ArcTeryx GoreTex hardshell jackets so I thought I'd make a video to help you guys decide which hardshell is right for you. I also take some time to explain why you might want a laminated hardshell over other jacket options.
Exploratory road trips come with inherent chaos. An arctic outflow followed by insane snowfall; BC's northern Coast Range is a wild place with a big heart.
The 6th annual Arc'teryx Alpine Academy was one to remember. 440 passionate mountain people from 25 countries came together to the mountaineering mecca of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to learn, inspire and share knowledge about exploring wild spaces. See you next year Chamonix.

We are pleased to announce that we will be teaming up with the Vancouver Police Department this winter to distribute hundreds of waterproof capes to the downtown's homeless population. These capes are designed and built from highly technical waterproof and insulated fabrics to help protect some of our community's most vulnerable citizens.
I attended a great evening at the Seattle REI Flagship Store with some of the great people from Arc'teryx. Hearing from them their philosophies and what drives the design and company was very inspiring. #backpacking #travel #hiking #adventure #camping #couple #hike #outdoors #mountains #trail #climbing #vacation #earthporn #hammock #tent #headlamp #thrunite #arc'teryx #arcteryx
