Arc’teryx Rarity – Mossy Oak Camo

This garment is real and was produced about a decade ago in small numbers for a US customer.

Correction – The pattern is Mossy Oak but commonly referred to as RealTree by the customer.

With the explosion in popularity of technical hunting brands like Sitka and KUIU, it’s kind of surprising that Arc’teryx hasn’t come out with some of their items in Realtree or Mossy Oak patterns.

And I believe they made matching bibs too.

  Mossy Oak bibs for sure, maybe they did Real Tree at some point?

Marmot also had a contract for a jacket with similar specs.

I have seen these at GSS in VB. At least some bibs. Not sure if they’re still there.

      I think eBay seller Legit Kit has the remaining supply in the wild.

  Ten XXL pairs of pants?
  
  I guess DEVGRU has a wider variety of BMI’s than I thought….

    they are bibs. sometimes guys are big; sometimes moderately large guys need to size up to get over clothing or equipment they’re already wearing…

I have a Arc’teryx ACU Combat Jacket that Grey Group did a special run, not as rare as these.

Long before LEAF ramped up I lobbied (begged really) Arcteryx hard to venture into camo or at least a commitment to keep a few of their top shell pieces in the line from year to year in stealthy colors that trigger pullers could use. At that time they said that they just wanted to serve their core customer ie skiers, mountaineers, etc. Glad LEAF Has grown to satisfy at least a part of the high end demand. My Arcteryx LEAF gear is among my very best stuff. Big fan.

I heard from a Marmot designer at OR in 2010 maybe that they were going to produce a Precip Jacket/Pant set in camo but never did see it out for sale on the market.

Hunters have better gear now than ever and the only thing that eludes us, and other users, is the technical but quiet shells which I am told by industry gurus is going to require a technological breakthrough. LEAF, along with Sitka and Kuiu, will likely play a part in driving that innovation. Thanks SSD.

  The First Lite Sanctuary Insulated Jacket is an outer shell that was purpose designed to be absolutely silent for hunting.

I’ve got a Arcteryx Goretex smock in AOR 1 that I picked up awhile back. As the story goes the material was so expensive that Arcteryx had Dev purchase the material directly from Gore and sent it to Arcteryx to build the smocks.

  Smocks are pretty expensive. AOR1 automatically hikes like crazy the price of anything it’s applied to. How much did that even cost to acquire?

    It’s not a smock.

      Well let’s call it smockish. My bad on that

        How many pockets? Lots of zippers in front of zippers?

        It’s got 6 (I think) pockets on the front, 4 of them zippered and staggered, and at least one on the inside. Plus the standard zippered biceps pockets.

        in some areas a smock is a pullover garment with very few pockets. while I doubt he is referring to it, Arcteryx’s anorak could be called a smock in many parts of the world.

First Lite is a doing great job and I am currently putting the Boundary Stormtight shell jacket but I am talking about traditional uninsulated shells. I am a believer in separate base, insulation and shell layer philosophy. The Sanctuary Jacket is specificly designed for static ie stand hunting. That isn’t how I hunt in the West.

I remember those; that was a long time ago…
Although devgru did purchase the fabric there was a legal / contractual reason for this. It would not have been possible to produce the garments in Canada otherwise (at the time).
Marmot did have the contract initially, but Arc’teryx replaced Marmot’s product with their own version, which was lighter and arguably better performing.
