I’m not really sure what else there is to say. You get what gift cards are, and Arc’teryx offers them (hint, hint!)

Well, it’s been put to good use, in some of the most extreme environments in earth.
An Alaska Air National Guardsman from the 212th Rescue Squadron, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, watches the jumpmaster prior to jumping out of a C-17 Globemaster III flown by the 249th Airlift Squadron onto the U.S. Navy’s Ice Camp Sargo in the Arctic Circle in support of Ice Exercise 2016, March 15, 2016. The two squadrons worked together to airdrop 10 PJs, two Alaska National Guard Soldiers and a 9,500-pound arctic sustainment package to the camp. ICEX is a joint-force exercise which allows multiple military branches to assess readiness in the arctic, increase operation experience in the region, develop partnerships and collaborative efforts, and advance understanding of the arctic environment.

Jon Hoerauf, who joined Arc’teryx in 2012, will become General Manager of Arc’teryx, reporting directly to Heikki Takala, CEO of AMER Sports and replacing Vncent Wauters, who has resigned after four years as President and General Manager.
The 41-year-old Hoerauf came to Ar’teryx after 13 years at The North Face. Since moving the Arc’teryx, they’ve launched footwear and avalanche safety products as well as down garments and a major update to the venerable Alpha SV. To make these things happen, Horeauf oversaw improvements at the headquarters and manufacturing facility in North Vancouver, BC as well as brand retail shops.

For over 25 years, Arc’teryx has specialized in clothing and equipment for cold weather and mountain pursuits. These world-renowned designs are worn by elite athletes in some of the most demanding environments.
Almost 15 years ago, elite military forces began to adopt Arc’teryx equipment to combat challenging weather and terrain.
Based on these successes, Arc’teryx LEAF was formed. Eventually, dedicated designs were created for the unique requirements of military and law enforcement customers.
While the 2016 line is the most extensive yet, the core remains focused on cold weather performance. This is the CW Jacket LT, the epitome of Arc’teryx LEAF design.
