About This Project

Named for ARCHAEOPTERYX LITHOGRAPHICA, the first reptile to develop the feather for flight, freeing itself from the constraints of the horizontal world.

Arc’teryx strives for the perfect synergy of design, materials and construction in every product it creates. The relentless and obsessive pursuit of design perfection drives construction techniques to sculpt materials into functional, wearable shapes defined by a functional and aesthetic life expectancy. Superior lightweight structured textiles add warmth, durability, and weather protection to classic forms.

ARC’TERYX Veilance
Out of the realization that this high functional intelligence had relevance beyond the extremes of the outdoor environment, Veilance® was borne to bring this spirit of innovation and accumulated wisdom to a new audience. Painstaking obsession, progressive fabrics, and multipurpose technologies are part of the same commitment in the pursuit of absolute performance.

ARC’TERYX Leaf
LEAF is the Law Enforcement and Armed Forces division of Arc’teryx committed to the relentless pursuit of product excellence.
