Named for ARCHAEOPTERYX LITHOGRAPHICA, the first reptile to develop the feather for flight, freeing itself from the constraints of the horizontal world. At Arc`teryx the central purpose is to build the finest products possible. The Arc`teryx advantage is achieved by merging their unrivaled designs with the best quality, highest performing materials and assembling them in the most innovative and most durable manner for the intended use. Their Take On Environmental Stewardship Arc'teryx strives to continually become more aware of and sensitive to the environmental impact of their business practices. They evaluate their processes and continually implement new strategies to improve efficiencies and minimize their ecological footprint. Their Design Philosophy and the Environment Arc'teryx designs and constructs products to perform better and last longer. They believe that a high quality product that retains its performance properties and aesthetic appeal for many years is more environmentally responsible than one that must be replaced frequently due to inferior materials, poor quality workmanship, or seasonally influenced fashion trends. They unite the most technically advanced materials with highly functional designs and sophisticated styling, ensuring that Arc'teryx products will survive many seasons of active use. Their goal is to substantially reduce the total amount of materials used over time, and the energy consumed to manufacture and distribute those materials and our products. Choices Arc'teryx believes in integrity and responsibility. Due to the present state of textile technology and their unwillingness to sacrifice technical performance, the majority of Arc'teryx products are made with materials derived from non-renewable resources. They have not yet found acceptable renewable alternatives that don't substantially affect their product's performance or durability. If you are looking for exceptional outdoor gear that will last for many seasons, Arc'teryx products are the premier solution to meet your needs. If you wish to support products that are made with organic and/or renewable materials they may not be the right choice for you. That being said, they continually evaluate fabrics and materials made from renewable sources and when any meet their criterion for quality and performance they will integrate them into their product line.
Office, Factory, and Warehouse Practices Arc'teryx is based in British Columbia, Canada-famous for its abundant forests and pristine wilderness, as well as a robust forestry industry. Arcteryx employees are devoted outdoor enthusiasts who deeply appreciate the natural beauty of the backcountry, and they wish to continue hiking, biking and skiing through vast stretches of untouched wildernesses. By reducing their paper usage, recycling what they do use, and supporting responsible/sustainable forestry practices they hope to preserve old growth forests and promote the expansion of diverse and sustainable new growth.
