Canadian Brand Doubles down on commitment to mountain professionals, uniting LEAF and Professional lines under new Arc’teryx PRO lineNORTH VANCOUVER, CANADA

Arc’teryx Equipment, the global design company specializing in technical high-performance apparel and equipment, announces the relaunch of the Arc’teryx PRO brand, with a bold vision to better serve the professional communities who depend on its gear. The updated Arc’teryx PRO features three design targets: guides, rescue professionals, and Special Operations Forces. As part of this evolution, Arc’teryx LEAF will now live within the Arc’teryx PRO brand, streamlining its professional offering and reaffirming its commitment to providing purpose-built, high-performance gear.

“At Arc’teryx, we believe in supporting those who serve others with unparalleled dedication,” said Katie Becker, Chief Creative Officer. “The relaunch of Arc’teryx PRO will build on the unique heritage established by the Professional and LEAF lines, while focusing future efforts on new design innovations. Led by our Advanced Concepts team, the investment and rigorous testing that begins at the PRO level will continue to inform the design process and insights across our entire design team.”

Integrating Arc’teryx LEAF into PRO creates a robust and efficient platform, enhancing the company’s ability to serve a broader range of professional needs. Through dedicating expertise and resources to this category, Arc’teryx aims to continue pushing the boundaries of design and performance, building on our product offering to improve the product offerings for the professional community.

“The decision to unify Arc’teryx LEAF into PRO reflects a natural evolution for the brand. LEAF has been a trusted name for elite tactical professionals for over 20 years,” said Kyle Goertzen, Director, PRO. “By bringing LEAF under the PRO umbrella, we’re preserving its legacy and enhancing our ability to deliver world-class gear to experts who most depend on it.

We will continue to work directly with end users to innovate and provide the highest quality system of dress for emerging requirements.”

Long-term partners, including search and rescue teams, mountain guides, and operators, have played a crucial role in shaping the Arc’teryx PRO collection through real-world testing, validation, and feedback. These collaborations ensure the gear meets the exacting requirements of end users while embodying the brand’s relentless pursuit of perfection.

Collaborating with guides, operators, rescue, and snow safety experts, Arc’teryx PRO designs products specifically made to meet the high demands of their jobs and the extreme conditions they face. Living and working in the elements full time, the Arc’teryx PRO community provides insight, and feedback to help craft the best equipment for the mountains and severe environments.

Arc’teryx endeavors to directly support the professional community through scholarships, charitable donations and industry partnerships, with the goal of supporting those impacted by trauma in their field, and future mountain professionals who will bring their knowledge and inspiration to others.

The entire Arc’teryx PRO collection and new Fall 2025 styles will be available to qualified professionals through select Arc’teryx PRO distribution partners.

Arc’teryx PRO will be exhibiting their collection at SHOT from January 21 – 24 (booth # 62610), and at Enforce Tac from February 24 – 25 (booth # 9-328).
