Arc'teryx

Located in North Vancouver, Canada, Arc'teryx is a high-end design firm that specializes in outdoor clothing and equipment. It focuses on technical clothing, including related equipment, for climbing and Alpine sports. The company's name and emblem make tribute to the Archaeopteryx, a fossil that represents the transition between early and modern dinosaurs (birds). Arc'teryx is well-known for their knitwear, down parkas, and water-resistant Gore-Tex shell coats.

Established in 1989 as Rock Solid, the business changed its name to Arc'teryx in 1991 to produce clothing and climbing equipment with Canadian Coast Mountains as inspiration. Prior to being acquired by Amer Sports in 2005 and reorganized under ANTA Sports in 2019, the company was sold to Salomon Group in 2001. Veilance, a retailer of high-end streetwear, and LEAF, a retailer of technical gear for the military and law enforcement, are the two divisions that Arc'teryx maintains. The business has had a significant impact on the "gorpcore" fashion trend, which involves wearing outdoor clothing in urban environments.
