Only a few weeks of training left before the Arc'teryx Squamish 50 – a fifty mile trail ultra in beautiful Squamish, British Columbia. Squamish is practically our own back yard, making it perfect for a lot of "research" and "product testing", as well as one of the most amazing settings for such a race. The route starts at the Pacific Ocean and follows nearly ten thousand feet of elevation gain to breathtaking snow-capped views at the finish.

A while ago, we introduced you to our Arc'teryx relay team. This time around, let's meet two of our own who are doing the full fifty as individuals, and the gear that they've been training in.

Carl: Senior Design Manager, Phase AR Crew LS ("Phasic AR fabric has great moisture management and the weight is comfortable across a wide temperature range.")

Jon: Product Line Manager, Motus Crew SS ("Its moisture management and next-to-skin comfort are ideal for a wide range of weather conditions from hot and sunny to cold and rainy.")
