Why Arc'teryx is Worth Buying

It's no secret Arc'teryx is one of my favourite brands - we're focusing on 3 SS21 pieces to help explain why I've found Arc'teryx clothing to be consistently good pickups, and some of the best features and details. I hope this is a great starting point for people wanting to learn more about the brand, as well as being a helpful buyer's guide for some of their shells and midlayer jackets.

Atom AR midlayer jacket
Atom SL anorak
Thanks to Arc'teryx for sending these 3 pieces (and the blue beanie in the background!) so I could make this video. The various other Arc'teryx items in this video like the Gamma AR pants, red beanie, Venta gloves, Dela fleece etc. have all been purchased by myself over the last few years.

I've been wearing the Arc'teryx Seton jacket, which is a really nice bomber-style jacket with minimal branding. It's so comfy and warm and looks way less aggressive than a standard bomber. I looked into it because someone mentioned that it was the jacket Tim Cook was wearing in an Apple video and I managed to find it on sale at REI in my size. Definitely not the most fashion-forward jacket (after all, Tim Cook was wearing it), but it's had a very low cost per use and was my favorite pickup of 2020.

The Atom and Proton LT models are the best midlayers from Arcteryx for serious hiking and backpacking. They have that perfect balance of being lightweight and breathable enough to hike in, but still keep you comfortable when its chilly. The synthetic insulation keeps you warm even when wet too, unlike down.

I had an old Arc'teryx shell that I got at a consignment shop in Squamish and the Gore-Tex started delaminating. I sent it in and was completely honest in where I got it and asked if I could pay them to repair it. They said it was beyond repair given the delamination but sent me a 50% off coupon. I've had many other things that I've paid retail for from them that I've sent in for warranty and it's always been a real pleasure and a painless process. Great brands to deal with.

@jamesbrincefield9879 Жыл бұрын

I just bought an Atom SL (not an Anorak, it’s full zip) for spring/summer and I actually love it more than my other Atoms/Beta/Zeta/other random Arc pieces. I work in a cold office and it’s conditioned me to continue wearing jackets far past when the weather is actually appropriate for them. Truth be told I just like wearing jackets. This thing has been a perfect match for that kind of mentality. It’s light enough to not make me miserable when it’s 75 degrees outside as long as I’m not overexerting myself but it still provides enough insulation to keep me comfortable down into the 40s-50s.

I’ve always been eyeing on Arc’teryx for a while, ever since I stumbled upon a fellow KZfaqr that is iconically known for wearing a flannel but also is an active military operator, who also did mention about the company Arc’teryx in terms of what combat pants to buy, provided with the right materials for fire resistance, abrasion resistance, and of course, being rugged enough to stand up to fulfill the soldier’s needs in the battlefield. Also, 6:20, you do remind me of the Praying Mantis PMC Operator from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots. Liked and subbed.

@M.Wiberg 2 жыл бұрын

What you’re takling about is Arc’Teryx LEAF. Not Arc’Teryx. Arc’Teryx is purely hiking/climbing/mountaineering gear and aren’t suites for combat. Arc’Teryx gear doesn’t offer fire resistance and most og it isn’t NMND. For that you’ll have to look into LEAF products instead.

D: I'm late! I agree with you though, I still wear my Atom LT from years ago (first gen) and it's still good as new. In fact my main issue is that I've lost enough weight to warrant going a size down (it's still fine as an outer layer but it gets quite bulky as a mid). The only thing I don't like is the size of the logo, I think the "LEAF" versions don't have that so I might look at getting that if I ever replace it.

I already own a Zeta SL shell jacket and an Atom LT jacket too. I prefer my mid layer pieces not to have hoods as i find they make your shoulders hot on a long walk, especially when you’re carrying a backpack or messenger bag, but that Atom SL anorak is just what I’m looking for... just a shame the grey and black versions have already sold out in most sizes on the Arc’ website/app. My only minor criticism of Arc’ jackets is that they never feature two-way zips, which i have and often utilise on my ACG, TNF and Helikon jackets. But Arc’s minimalist styling and truly epic performance more than makes up for that. And their customer service is second to none!
