The Arc’teryx Advantage

We are big fans of Run247.com, a site created by runners for "all ages and levels of running ability". They provide insightful, independent gear reviews and the latest news on events such as Skyrunning races. At this summer's SkyGames in the Pyrenees, we had the pleasure of hosting Run247 to show them some of our latest and greatest gear.

  • - Unique process ("Arc'teryx achieves an advantage with its products by merging un-rivaled designs with the highest quality and highest performing materials. They use innovation and unique assembling techniques to make durable products that perform in the intended environment for the intended sport.")
  • - Design philosophy (They are able to design a product one day, manufacture it the next day and then by the third day the product is being tested out on the trail or in the mountains.")
  • - Long-standing practice of working with elite athletes such as Adam Campbell to develop and test new prototypes ("Engineered to meet the needs of the most demanding athlete. Activity-specific patterning ensures complete freedom of movement, and each product is critically scrutinized and detailed for the intended end use.")
