US Elite Gear – Arc’teryx Fall Pre-Season Sale
Wednesday, August 21st, 2013Arc’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.

Arc’teryx LEAF Expands Wolf Range
Friday, August 16th, 2013Grey has become the new Black and much of this shift is due to the success of the Arc’teryx Urban Wolf Grey. Consumer demand has prompted Arc’teryx to expand Wolf to other products. They’ve really gone all in. There’s everything from Gore-tex jackets and pants to the Talos combat uniform to packs and even the popular Knee Caps.
In addition to Arc’teryx, several other companies have jumped on board offering Wolf Grey that is an exact match. Still others have been inspired by the move and have released Grey versions of their own. One way to ensure that you are purchasing gear that uses real Wolf Grey is to check out their partners page which lists which companies also offer the color. Currently, these include Blue Force Gear, Smith Optics and LBT Inc. Additionally, I know that Mayflower and Velocity Systems are in the process of introducing Wolf as an option. Also, rumor has it that at least one Kydex holster company is on board with Wolf.

Warrior Expo – Arc’teryx LEAF
Friday, July 12th, 2013For the past couple of years, Arc’teryx has been working with a small number of clients to perfect a specialized bag that will function as a pack, yet keep all of its contents dry for maritime operations. Now they are ready to unveil the culmination of these efforts in the DryPack 70.
The interesting thing about this project is that from its inception it was overbuilt. Much of what has been done is weighing capability and features against requirements. For example, at one point there was a waterproof comms port built into the wall of the bag. That has been removed because it was a desirement rather than a requirement. This results in a bag that is lighter, easier to manufacture and less expensive. Even so, the baseline capability was there from the beginning, so there was a lot of refinement going on.
By its name, you can tell that it offers a 70 liter capacity. Using Advanced Composite Construction (AC2), it’s manufactured from a HT 725D ACT MultiCam Cordura that is coated on both sides with Urethane for waterproofness. From the beginning Arc’teryx knew that this was the fabric that they wanted to use and has stocked it in anticipation of the pack’s release. It also includes a double layer bottom and sides as well as top and bottom grab handles and a 1m removable tether. The pack incorporates a roll down top with full-width RF welded TIZIP Master Seal waterproof zipper.
Additionally, there is an oral inflation tube.
Although it features an AC2 frame sheet, both the shoulder straps and waist belt are removable.
Here you can see the load transfer disc that helps stabilize the load on uneven terrain.
Additionally, all of the external straps can be simply removed.
Although the DryPack 70 won’t officially launch for about 6 months, units can place orders throughout that period.

The Talos LT Halfshell In Action – Courtesy of Haley Strategic
Sunday, June 9th, 2013
We recently recommended the Arc’teryx LEAF Talos LT Halfshell and we just got these photos from Haley Strategic Partners that give you some good all around shots of the Talos LT to help you get a better feel for it. As it turns out there are a whole lot of other great products in these photos like carbines from Bravo Company USA featuring parts from B5 Systems as well as armor carriers and pouches from Mayflower Research and Consulting along with holsters from G-Code. You may also notice a lot of Kryptek camouflage in these photos including some cool custom combat pants from Australia’s Platatac, not to mention some interesting gloves from Outdoor Research.
Talos LT Halfshell from Arc’teryx LEAF
Tuesday, June 4th, 2013The Arc’teryx LEAF Talos LT Halfshell is a combat shirt unlike any other on the market. I bought one when they first hit the market a couple months back and I’ve worn it on the range as well as for chores during cooler weather. It is very comfortable and I would consider a standard, true to size cut so it’s not overly tight or baggy either. It is also long enough that it will stay tucked in.
The Talos LT Halfshell is made from a no melt, no drip NYCO 50/50 Cordura yoke/shoulder and 60/40 knit body with articulated elbows, shoulders, and gusseted armpit for full freedom of motion. There are zippered, inset pockets in either upper arm with pile patches. The cuffs feature slotted buttons but the most striking feature is the Rugby-style collar with flat front opening.
Offered in Crocodile, Urban Wolf Grey and MultiCam sizes Small – XXLarge.
