Arc’teryx is a Vancouver-based company named after Archaeopteryx Lithographica — the first prehistoric bird to develop the feather for flight. Founded in 1989 by Dave Lane and Jeremy Guard, the driving force behind Arc’teryx is “to build the finest products possible.” They accomplish this through their evolutionary design work focused solely on innovation and functionality. To confront the elements or make your way around town, Arc’teryx relentlessly produces outerwear inspired by the pinnacle of human engineering meant for the most challenging of activities.
