For nearly a quarter-century since its debut, the Arc'teryx Squamish Hoody has been a trusted windshell for climbers all over the world.
It's time to take a fresh look at what makes this masterpiece so special. We spoke with Miyuki Arai from the marketing department and learned how the jacket continues to evolve in every aspect, from its materials and construction to its design.

The Origins of Arc'teryx and the Birth of the "Squamish Hoody"

"Arc'teryx's predecessor was a company called Rock Solid, which primarily made harnesses. In 1991, the company was renamed Arc'teryx and began producing backpacks and other gear alongside its harnesses. Then, around the year 2000, the Squamish Hoody made its debut."
In a nutshell, the Squamish Hoody's key features are its high wind resistance, light weight, and a highly portable, packable design. It's the perfect piece of gear with all the essential functions you need for the outdoors, where being prepared for sudden weather changes is crucial.
