In the mountain peaks of Vancouver, Canada, Arc’teryx designs high-performance outdoor clothing made to withstand challenging conditions. In collaboration with W.L. Gore, Arc’teryx conceived its first water-repellent alpine GORE-TEX© jacket, the Alpha SV, in 1998. Today, the brand continues to create windproof, waterproof and lightweight products including the likes of insulated down jackets, hiking pants, shoes and more.
