Arc’teryx

Arc’teryx is a global design company based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, specializing in technical high-performance apparel, outerwear and equipment. Founded on the idea that there is always a better way. Canada has a Pioneering Spirit. We react to where we are in the moment. The only way to build the right gear for this environment was to build the company in this environment. You can’t separate manufacturing from idea, or from location.

Summers at VMT are characterized by hikes to ridges, peaks and lakes, explosions of wildflowers, a higher likelihood of seeing a goat than another human, and the perfect home base to stretch, sauna and sink into the Kootenay pace of life.
