Arc’teryx

Arc’teryx in Lynnfield is a store from the Canadian maker of technical outdoor apparel and equipment. The brand is known for lightweight, high-performance shell jackets, insulation, packs and climbing gear designed with a streamlined, architectural look that is meant to endure. Its guiding idea is that there is always a better way to build something, and function is the primary consideration in every design the company produces.

Arc’teryx was founded in Canada, with its head office in North Vancouver and its own manufacturing facilities in Burnaby, British Columbia. It began with climbing harnesses in 1991 and moved into apparel in 1998. Owning its factories lets the company experiment with construction technologies, and several techniques it developed are now treated as industry standards. Materials are developed with longtime fabric partners, and the company still describes itself as an innovation company.
