Focus on Technology Since Brand's Inception

Can you tell us about the background of the brand's creation?

The origin of Arc'teryx is found in Vancouver, Canada. Climbers Dave Lane and Jeremy Guard hand-made climbing harnesses and started selling them under the brand name "Rock Solid." Due to positive feedback from climbers who used the harnesses, they sent them to a climbing magazine's editorial staff, also receiving high praise, and in 1991 the brand name was changed to Arc'teryx.
