Speaking Arc’teryx

We regularly field questions about the Arc’teryx naming conventions. It can be easy to get confused as there are various versions of many of the products which are essentially modifications for specific use. Once you understand the lingo, it’s easy to see what is going on.

These products are crafted from mid-weight materials and are designed with versatility in mind.

MX: MIXED WEATHER

SL: SUPER LIGHT
