Modular Layering…or as one Instagram comment noticed; about 7K on the floor.
SSD, curious to have your insight on the Amer takeover which seems to be moving ahead. You have more of an inside track of the apparel industry and Arc’ than most of us, How do you see things moving forward with the Arc’ brand after all the dust settles.
Arcteryx went to Amer several years ago. Its done. Salomon’s been there a few years too.
Layering is old hat and to my mind mostly a bullshit way to market more pieces that don’t really fit together. The active/static system touted by guts like Twight work better as less moving parts. Yes more layers are warm but they also fail to ventilate. Less membranes the better.
Down has no place in a layering system this days. Unless its for going to the store.
On the Amer takeover, he’s probably referring to the Chinese takeover of Amer, not the Amer acquisition of Arc’teryx and the rest.

This is nothing new. look up the PCU clothing system developed for the military.
Absolutely nothing new here.
And given the down piece, it probably isn’t a good copy from Arcteryx.
Easily more than 7k.
That’s it?
Is this supposed to be new?
It’s got arc’teryx’s new branding so you’re supposed to pay four figures for it and feel like you’re cool for it.
yep….that is for sure!! I am not inpressed so easily any more
For those unaware of Veilance;

Its quite the collection of articles. A little worrysome the picture is black and white. Color wouldnt be a bad thing. Along with sizing for a taller straight fitting frame.
I wonder with what do they defend their huge astronomical prices for a Windstopper?
Chinese make it for 10$, they probably also make it for arc’teryx.
But arc’teryx than charges a THOUSAND dollars for what?
Name?
Better stitches?
Pff
$10? What are you going to do now that K-mart is going out of business? Seriously, you don’t anything about textiles, do you?
You do realize that the veilance collection is sold at super exclusive retailers for gobs and gobs of money to people who’ve probably never noticed Arc’Teryx at all except maybe for something that their nannies wear?
Dead bird wasn’t making enough from Leaf, so they figured they’d hit the high fashion market during the last recession.
I dont always wear a down vest….but when I do, it’s definitely outside the rain shell.
I don’t think that’s the rainshell, but a windstopper layer. The rainshell looks to be on the mannequin’s lap, over another puffer piece.
