Arc'teryx - Running

Arc’teryx Trail Running Gear

Based in British Columbia, Arc’teryx designs gear forged in the wild, rugged landscapes of the Coast Mountains. The wet, steep, unpredictable range is the perfect testing ground for gear made to perform in extreme alpine conditions. Arc’teryx trail running gear reflects decades of experience in the wilderness, with technical fabrics, precise construction, and lightweight designs for efficient movement over the most difficult terrain.

The brand works closely with the hardcore, elite mountain athletes. Trail runners, such as Emma Cook-Clarke, Janelle Smiley, and Adam Campbell, push Arc’teryx gear to its limits on the most demanding mountain routes. Their feedback helps the company refine its products in real-world conditions.

Innovation and Refined Design

Arc’teryx takes its name from Archaeopteryx, the first bird to take to the air. The iconic fossil logo, inspired by that remarkable evolutionary leap, evokes the brand’s commitment to innovation and constant improvement in equipment design. Since its founding, Arc’teryx has pushed the boundaries of technical outdoor gear through meticulous engineering and cutting-edge materials so that every outdoor athlete can evolve to their next level.

This spirit of innovation that continually refines form and function is reflected in the brand’s distinctive aesthetic. Arc’teryx running gear is synonymous with a sleek, minimalist design, where every seam, fabric, and feature serves a clear purpose. Technical materials, precise construction, and streamlined silhouettes create apparel and footwear that excel in the mountains.

Trail Running Shoes and Mountain Footwear

Arc’teryx trail running shoes are designed to make you efficient, comfortable, and confident on mountainous terrain. With a secure fit, lightweight materials, and grippy outsoles, they enable runners to move fluidly over every surface, from muddy trails in the deep woods to routes along rocky ridgetops.

The Norvan series is made for long-distance running and mountain adventures. It combines durable construction with a comfortable fit and reliable traction for the stability, cushioning, and protection needed for extended efforts on technical trails.

For runners looking to maximize speed and efficiency, the Sylvan offers a more propulsive ride. Its rockered midsole, ultra-responsive foam, and carbon-fibre plate help deliver powerful energy return for fast racing and KOMs on Strava.

Arc’teryx also offers versatile mountain footwear such as the Kragg, a comfortable shoe designed for recovery, travel, and unwinding after a long day on the trails.

Trail Running Clothing

Arc’teryx trail running apparel is designed for comfort, freedom of movement, and prime gorpcore style. From breathable shirts and tanks to protective outer layers, such as the Norvan Jacket and the ultralight Squamish Hoody, Arc’teryx apparel is designed to perform in quickly changing mountain conditions. Running shorts, such as the Norvan Short, provide lightweight comfort on the trail, while technical caps, such as the Silex, shield runners from sunlight, heat, wind, and rain.

Lightweight technical fabrics provide outstanding breathability and moisture management when you’re giving it your all, while articulated patterning and features, such as gusseted underarms, allow garments to move naturally with the body—even when worn with a hydration vest. Such thoughtful details reduce chafing, which makes long distances much more enjoyable. Antimicrobial treatments for odour control also make all-day efforts more pleasant.

Hydration Vests

Arc’teryx hydration vests carry water, nutrition, and essential gear. The lightweight Norvan 7 vest sits comfortably against the body with multiple adjustment points for a precise, balanced fit that minimizes bounce on technical terrain. Breathable mesh materials keep airflow high when you’re going hard, and strategically placed pockets allow runners to access hydration and fuel quickly on the go. Two included flasks and ample storage make the Norvan 7 a practical solution for epic outings.
