Articulated fit

Creating natural movement

Our products are designed to move more naturally by mimicking the shape of the human body. This has a major impact on your comfort, safety, and performance.

Complex patterns and seam placements give Arc’teryx products a three-dimensional shape.

Protection without resistance

The shoulders, back, and elbows of a shell all affect one another. Tension from lack of articulation in any area could interfere with the function of a climbing harness, limit your reach, and expose you to the cold.

Designed to Work in Tandem

The seat and knees of our pants work together, providing room for range of motion without adding unnecessary material. This streamlined fit has become a signature of the Arc’teryx brand.

The wrong shape creates resistance, making crouching or walking more difficult.
