New Arc’teryx Color?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Just 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 Covert Zip Exclusive from US Elite Gear

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

US Elite Gear is offering an exclusive version of the popular Arc’teryx Covert Zip in Crocodile. Made from Polartec Thermal Pro Sweater Knit, It features a zip collar and laminated pocket on the left sleeve. US Elite Gear added their embroidered logo to the right sleeve. Other than that, it is a standard Covert Zip. US Elite Gear likes it so much they have dubbed it the BAJ for Bad Ass Jacket.

I have to agree with their name. I have been wearing a Blue one for several winters now and is one of my favorite sweaters. It is very comfortable and the perfect layer over a performance t-shirt for brisk days. I picked it up at a Hudson Trail Outfitter sale when I lived in the DC area and like I said, I have been wearing it for five years and it shows little wear. Granted, I haven’t worn it 24/7 but if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Expect some minor pilling but this has never detracted from the performance or look of the Covert Zip.

It is in stock in sizes Small – XX Large. To purchase yours visit www.us-elitegear.com.

Jonesing for the Arc’teryx Talos Combat Uniform?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

If you just can’t wait to get your hands on the Talos Combat Uniform from Arc’teryx we have some good news for you. The pants have been released and are currently in stock at Tactical Distributors as well as OP Tactical. So far these are the only two retail outlets we know of.

Currently available in any color you want as long as it’s MultiCam, additional color options are still about a year out. They are manufactured from 50/50 NYCO and come in sizes small – XX large. These are right on size with other Arc’teryx products. They are amazing pants and packed with features such as the webbing reinforced kneepad pockets with slits for the straps to be used on the outside of the pants. The pants also feature an articulated fit, tool loops, and an integrated gaiter designed to keep debris out of your boots without resorting to traditional blousing. We bought ours from Tactical Distributors and can’t say enough good things about them.

No solid word yet on when the tops will be available.
