History

Founded in 1989 by Dave Lane and Jeremy Guard in North Vancouver, the company was originally named Rock Solid. It gained significance through technical innovations like the WaterTight zipper and micro-seam technology. In fashion history, Arc'teryx transitioned from specialized mountaineering gear to a central pillar of the gorpcore movement. Its collaborations with high-fashion houses and adoption by urban subcultures established technical outerwear as a staple of contemporary streetwear and luxury fashion.
