DSEi – Arc’teryx LEAF
Tuesday, September 10th, 2013We’ve pretty much covered all of Arc’teryx LEAF’s current offerings but one thing caught my eye.
The Khard series of packs were designed from the outset to accept organizers and inserts. But so far, I’ve never seen anything like this. Outside of Vancouver, there is only one place that is allowed to repair Arc’teryx items and that is Urs Maretz of Outdoor Repair in Uster, Switzerland. Urs doesn’t do many LEAF repairs but he does make modifications to gear for European customers. This is one of his projects.
Urs produced this prototype Kydeyx pack board insert. In its current form it’s come a bit of a way from this initial model but it still incorporates slots for tied downs. In this case they are using ski ties. The insert connects around the internal daisy chains via a bolt system so this thing isn’t going anywhere. You may also notice a Kydex 40mm insert that accepts 6 rounds.
I think this concept is going to spur a new wave of inserts for the Khard pack.
Arc’teryx LEAF products are available in the UK from Edgar Brothers.
Arc’teryx Opens First U.S. Brand Store In Seattle
Saturday, September 7th, 2013Vancouver BC (September 6, 2013) – Canadian based outerwear manufacturer and retailer Arc’teryx will officially open a new 2,300 square-foot store in downtown Seattle, WA. Situated at the base of the Seaboard Building at Fourth Avenue and Pike Street the new store will open September 7th, 2013. This will be the first Arc’teryx brand store in the U.S.
Arc’teryx is built upon the principle of obsessive, precise design and production. Manufacturing high performance outdoor clothing, accessories and climbing equipment to the highest possible standards, their products include GORE-TEX outerwear, down and synthetic insulated jackets, gloves and backpacks.
The new store will open premiering the brand’s full collection for Fall/ Winter 2013 and will offer customers an opportunity to learn firsthand about the company’s innovative and forward thinking design process via special engagement areas inside the store.
“There’s a growing, loyal following for the brand and this store is a way for us to showcase the newest and fullest assortment of Arc’teryx products to our consumers, while also allowing them to discover what the brand stands for,” said Adam Ketcheson, VP Senior Director of Marketing & B2C. “Customers will be able to learn more about our research and design processes through hands on technology engagement areas within the store as well as from trained store staff.”
All Arc’teryx product design, research and development is done in-house at their head office in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
“In our own facility, we are able to dedicate time and resources to explore unorthodox design concepts and we have complete control over the development of new products,” said Carl Moriarty, Design Manager for Arc’teryx apparel. “Arc’teryx has a philosophy of design that centers on a product’s intended use. The aim is to create something that increases the user’s enjoyment of the activity. By being functionally invisible, what people experience is the activity and their equipment simply does what it’s supposed to do.”
The new Seattle store will officially open its doors on Saturday, September 7th at 10am. There will be GORE-TEX Science & Technology presentations along with a special rain room available where consumers can test out the products and learn firsthand how GORE-TEX works.
Designers from the company’s head office will also be on hand over the day to talk with customers and answer questions.
The Seaboard Building is an 11-story landmark building at Fourth Avenue and Pike Street that was developed and is managed by the Pine Street Group L.L.C.
Seattle store hours:
Mon-Sat: 10am-8pm
Sun: 12pm-6pm
Arc’teryx LEAF’s Tony Richardson Profiled by Gripped Magazine
Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Tony Richardson cut his teeth climbing. After design school he ended up as an intern at Arc’teryx LEAF. That’s where we met him. Tony’s a great guy and we don’t want to steal any of climbing magazine Gripped.com’s thunder by telling you any more. Especially considering they profiled him in their recent story about Arc’teryx. He’s way down at the bottom of the article but don’t skip everything else to get there. Take the time to read the whole article. Arc’teryx is filled with talented people like Tony.
