New Arc’teryx Color?
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Just like Arc’teryx developed Crocodile as their Green shade, word has it that they have developed a new LE shade called Wolf that is somewhere between Black and Grey. Few outside the outdoor market know that Arc’teryx has the largest and most extensive color shop in industry and are known to set the palette for the coming season. In fact, Arc’teryx has to be on the lookout for knockoff artists at major trade shows. In one case last year, they confronted a “fan” carrying a portable spectrometer attempting to take readings of their upcoming color palette.
The new shade is still a couple of seasons off but we look forward to this new option.

Arc’teryx Rotor Wash Tshirt
Tuesday, July 5th, 2011When you do a search for the Rotor Wash shirt from Arc’teryx, you are offered a simple description, “featuring a reactive printing process that removes colour from the textile, creating a unique graphic look.” This provides an interesting look into the production process, but it doesn’t explain the image.
While it isn’t part of the LEAF line, at first glance you wouldn’t know it. The image is actually of a heli-skier who has just been dropped off by a Bell 212. However, it looks like a UH-1 in a cloud of dust. Unless you look really close, you don’t even notice the two ski poles stuck in the snow in the foreground. The shirt is offered in Blackbird which is a deep Grey color, sized 2 – XXL. A lot of LEAF customers are already wearing it. Take a look and you’ll see why.
The Rotor Wash shirt is currently in stock from Tactical Distributors.
