US Elite partnered with Arc’teryx LEAF to bring you the custom-embroidered Arc’teryx LEAF Skyline shirt. The run is limited to just 275 of these shirts and 10% of each sale will be donated to the Special Operations Care Fund (SOC-F).
The shirt features a U.S. Elite logo on one arm, a SOC-F logo on the other, and an American flag with Arc’teryx’s iconic deadbird on the nape of the neck.

5.11 Europe mad e a bit of a mistake earlier this weekend when they made a great post with a quote from a user about their Stryke Pant on Facebook. Unfortunately, most of the accompanying photos 5.11 shared, feature Rescue Global members wearing Arc’teryx LEAF pants.
It’s been noticed, particularly by Arc’teryx fans, and is a good reminder in general to brands to be careful about outsourcing social media management, although it may not be the case in this instance. Furthermore, the tactical consumer is a very savvy customer and even the smallest details do not go unnoticed. Even 15 years later, there are still remarks about H&K’s infamous backward rounds photo.
As they did last year with the Bora Mid, Arc’teryx is introducing a leather version of the Acrux SL approach shoe. They feature 1.5mm split suede leather, air permeable 3D mesh and and integrated sticky rubber toecap. Shown are Deep Iguana/Antique Moss above and Totem/Shark below, sizes 7.5-12.5 and 13.5 for men. Women’s version are in different colors and sized 4.5 – 9.5.

The entire Arc’teryx LEAF line will be on display during SOFIC in the Campbell Private Room at the Embassy Suites, across from the convention center (above the Starbucks).
I’m not really sure what else there is to say. You get what gift cards are, and Arc’teryx offers them (hint, hint!)
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.
What are you plans for the weekend?
