Arc'teryx is founded on the idea that there is always a better way. Their adventures and therefore products are inspired by the coast mountains as an expansive wilderness. A lot of Arc'teryx products contain GORE-TEX fabric, which has 9 billion pores per square inch. This protects as a shield against water while still allowing moisture from the body to escape. Besides, the Arc'teryx outerwear has 4 other innovative components.
1. Articulated Fit
Designed to move more naturally by mimicking the shape of the human body. This has a major impact on comfort, safety, and performance.
2. Micro Seams
Reducing the width of seams means less weight, bulk, and material usage while increasing the product’s breathable surface area.
3. Watertight Zippers
A signature detail which ensures functional protection.
4. Stormhood
The right combination of tailoring, materials and construction assures protection with a clear view.
Here's the take of an interview with Ashley Anson – Senior Director, Design at Arc'teryx about the Obsessive Design.
"What are the determining factors in the quality of a garment?"
"Durability is our top priority in everything we build, closely followed by pinnacle performance design. When we talk about obsessive design, we’re really thinking about all the invisible details of our product and the real impact these designs have for consumers. We want our community to know they can count on our gear to enable them to reach their goals comfortably, safely, and unencumbered by unnecessary details, time and time again. Through product development, our designs go through extensive testing to measure a variety of attributes like tear strength, abrasion resistance, and many more in field testing." - Ashley Anson
"How does a garment constructed the way Arc’Teryx does improve wearer performance?"
"Expertly crafted with a specific use in mind, our ergonomic approach to articulated fit means our products will move naturally with the consumer, which significantly improves comfort, safety, and overall performance by eliminating resistance.
When we introduced micro seams to the market in 1998, we set a new benchmark for performance and reinvented how shell jackets were made. Smaller seams reduce bulk and unnecessary weight while increasing breathability, mobility, and even overall durability.
These Arc’teryx design details and others like our iconic StormhoodTM, WatertightTM zippers and many other industry-shifting innovations have raised the bar for what best-in-class performance means in the outdoor industry. They are examples of the invisible details in our products that have become a part of the Arc’teryx DNA." - Ashley Anson
