Arc'teryx Equipment

Once a year, before the racing season finds its shape, we gather our trail running team for camp. This spring, Mallorca set the stage for a week of training, connection, and learning. Long days on the island’s dry trails and technical terrain, combined with design sessions and time with coaches and experts covering everything from mental preparation to performance nutrition. The goal: build the full picture — physical, tactical, human — before the race days call for it. Arc’teryx athlete Milly Young reflects on what the week meant: “What has made this camp meaningful is the holistic approach. It hasn’t all been about miles and intensity; it’s been a focus on building the whole athlete. Most special for me has been connecting with teammates and learning from others. When athletes, designers, and specialists share space, something shifts. The work gets sharper, the connections run deeper, and everyone leaves with more than they came with.

The first time Babette de Bruin tried mountain biking on the North Shore, she was on the clock. Sort of. Babette is one of our Guest Services Representatives, and she'd signed up for Trailblazers, an extension of Arc'teryx's Demo Good Sh!t (DGS) program where Guest Services team members ride with our Coast Mountain Riders to test the gear they'll later answer questions about. The gear, in her case, was the Rhoam collection. New, built for mountain biking, designed on the same trails she was now riding. "Next time a guest mentions they're interested in the Rhoam collection or specific gear for downhill mountain biking, I'm able to relate to the experience," she says. "I understand the need for unrestricted freedom to pedal, and the necessity of breathable, weather-ready fabrics for those spring and fall rides." Andrew Armour, who led the rides alongside Marc Prévost, has spent years on these trails. "The articulated fit let me focus my energy on the task at hand and feel unencumbered, especially while descending some of our more technical local trails," he says. "It was clearly made by people who ride, for people who ride." For Marc Prévost, the impact went beyond product performance. "From hesitation to high-fives," he says. "Trailblazer proved what happens when people are given space to progress, together, in the environments we design for." When a guest calls about fit, how a jacket vents on a long climb, or whether a pant works for a commute as well as a descent, the person on the other end of the line has been there. #ArcteryxLife

Wide-open views. Fast-changing conditions. Rocky terrain. The Shulaps Range in British Columbia has a little of everything. So Arc’teryx athletes jessie mcauley and Emma Cook Clarke brought the kit that’s up for anything. See why this range keeps drawing Jessie and Emma back in the gear they trust for light, fast days in the Coast Mountains. 📸: Michael Overbeck #Arcteryx

On April 17th, we opened Arc'teryx Trail Hub Takao at the foot of Mount Takao in Japan, a limited-time trail running base modeled on an Edo-period teahouse. Runners can borrow shoes and vests, learn mountain etiquette, and head straight from Tokyo onto the trail. It's one expression of a bigger idea our team in Japan is bringing to life: that our brand exists to take people to the mountains, not just to outfit them. "We're moving beyond simply describing the product itself to conveying the kind of experience you can have through the gear," says Yumiko Sekine, Brand Manager. "We're no longer selling products, but delivering the activity itself." Thank you to Katsuhiro Hayashi and Yumiko Sekine for sharing the thinking behind it with NESTBOWL Full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/g-ph4Xay #ArcteryxJapan

From Ring to Ridge. We've opened our first Brand Store in Austria — 500 sqm in the heart of Vienna's Innere Stadt — with a ReBIRD™ Service Centre on site to repair, care for and keep your gear in play, run after run, route after route. "Austria’s mountain landscape represents what Arc’teryx products are made for— mountain athletes" says Tobia P., General Manager EMEA. "Vienna not only has a reputation as the cultural capital of Europe but also serves as an ideal starting point for activities like hiking, trail running, and climbing." For everyone passing through — the trails are closer than you think. #ArcteryxDACH

Progress shows up in the work. A note from CEO Stuart Haselden.

It’s bike season — and we finally made a kit. Inspired by the world-class trails just minutes from our Design Centre and the love our designers have for the sport, Rhoam makes wet-weather rides more comfortable. This limited-time collection features mapped fabrics that balance protection from rain and mud with breathability on hard climbs, secure pockets that keep your stuff out of the way when pedalling, and features designed to work with your bike gear. Just ask Cadel Carrigan and Craig Murray after a classic North Shore, BC spring ride: This kit passed the test.

Last week, we spent time with Nicole McLaughlin, our first Design Ambassador, at our HQ in North Vancouver. She led a hands-on session with our Cut & Sew team, bringing circularity into something simple and tangible.    Using product that had reached the end of its usable life and couldn’t be repaired through ReBIRD™, the team transformed excess materials into GORE-TEX® flowers.   What stayed with us was the room; people willing to try new things, making, testing, adjusting as they went.    It’s a reminder that circularity isn’t only about systems and scale. It also lives in the small moments where creativity meets constraint, and where we choose to see potential instead of waste. And sometimes, it looks like turning end-of-life jackets into flowers.   #ArcteryxLife #Circularity

Our fastest trail running shoe just got faster. Our Footwear Design Director Chris Pope details how a reconfigured midsole, upper, and outsole work together to provide a propulsive ride — and help you unleash confident speed.
