Why: For over 30 years, Arc'teryx has been developing extreme outdoor tech apparel for everything from lightweight climbing gear to all-weather outdoor gear. With a consistently minimalist design and high quality standards, Arc'teryx was adapted by a cool fashion crowd, which made Arc'teryx a streetwear brand favorite. Arc'teryx' design stands for timeless aesthetics and understatement, with selected designer collaborations such as with Jil Sander, in autumn 2021, a logical continuation without forgetting the heritage of the brand. Products: From alpine sports to trail running, from outdoor ski and snowboard clothing to climbing equipment such as harnesses, rope bags, chalk bags, to functional underwear, shoes, backpacks and accessories such as hats and gloves, Arc'teryx offers products for almost every outdoor area -Sport the right equipment.Sustainability: Plus: Arc'teryx is an active member of the Conservation Alliance + European Outdoor Conservation. The designs and materials are designed for a long service life. Arc'teryx has a repair service and relies on upcycling, as with the ReBird Gamma MX Hoody softshell jacket made from textile waste. Cons: Arc'teryx is not yet taking appropriate action to reduce textile waste in its supply chain. (Source: Good on You)Learn more:
