Why Arc'Teryx Will Fall Off
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 เม.ย. 2022
- Arc'Teryx designs outdoor apparel and gear from their headquarters in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Through the early 2020's, Arc'Teryx has become one of the most hyped brands in fashion and streetwear. However, despite this meteoric rise, I do not believe Arc'Teryx will be able to sustain their position as one of fashion's most coveted logos. This video details how Arc'Teryx became a Power House and why I think they'll eventually fall.
Let me know in the comments your thoughts on this topic. I promise to respond to you within 24 hours.
Thanks for watching!

The quality, craftsmanship along with the fantastic customer service and repair services speak for themselves. Those who were buying it for actual outdoor use and not because it’s trendy will continue to purchase it.
Agreed. I just hope they don’t lose that with the recent burst of interest from the streetwear community.
Agreed. It won't fall off. It's just gonna go back to normal.
@@Indigololz I get your point. I'm an older gentleman and I used to love the compfort of timberland boots but I don't wear them anymore because I don't want people thinking I'm trying to look young or like a rapper. I hope this doesn't happen with arc'teryx.
I didn’t know about the brand . Till I had a date with a volcano.. jacket , liners, socks thermals, back pack. And now see the new generation with a parka at the outlets in Houston. When it 70 degrees outside
@@wogahboy I'm 55 and I was considering buying a pair. After what you just said, I'm not so sure any more.
Hypebeats will say it will hit a downfall, but this jacket was never meant to be bought by hypebeasts. Arcteryx has stated they will never cater their brand to fashion but will continue to focus on their core customers looking for function and reliability.
Looking at Arc'Teryx as a hypebeast mainstream fashion product is a great way to completely miss the point of why this brand exists or why any of their products are designed. Thankfully, Arc'Teryx doesn't care about bullshit hypebeast fashion hot takes.
Also as for the colours and why they're so well done, I believe they have a R&D team just for creating dyes and colours. Their use of colour each season definitely stands alone
I didn’t know that! Neat
Super functional clothing. I can't find myself not finding the delta Lt fleece and the atom Lt hoody useful for years to come. Even though I'm tired of the trend, I know these pieces will be in people's wardrobes for a long time. It is timeless clothing, even after lil yachty has moved on
Fair points :)
Around town, the location of the branding in new Arc'teryx gear makes them very mugger friendly. Seriously, take this as a warning.
With branding on the chest, you can assess any potential danger quite easily. When the branding is on the side (arm) *and especially back* (as Arc'teryx added last year), you have no idea who has suddenly taken an interest in your expensive jacket and the assumed expensive phone and bulging wallet with cash and cards within it. You will never see them coming.
The next Arcteryx jacket I buy will be in black and I'll use a black marker to cover up the (side/back) branding or obscure it in some other way.
I never knew Arc’teryx was such an on trend brand with the younger generation. I bought a Beta LT last year met up with my brother and my niece who was 18. It was raining, so I had my Beta LT on and my niece instantly made a comment about the brand and photographed the embroidered logo and then proceeded to put it in social media….
I have to say, I was rather disappointed as I had bought the jacket because I do a lot of hiking and after my research, decided on getting this jacket as Arc’teryx were considered one of the best manufacturers of hardshells on the market. Not because I wanted to be wearing something that people wear primarily as a fashion statement.
You can still wear it if you like it! There’s a lot of utilitarian value in their jackets. Don’t let the fact that it’s currently trendy stop you from enjoying it. ✌🏻
Why would you care so much about that if you plan on using it for hiking anyway
what im scared of is the delamination, and from what people say if they do decide to take it back you’ll only get a 40% discount for another similar item. I’m so scared i don’t even wanna wear my arcteryx out of fear of the dreaded delamination
Outdoor research has a lifetime warranty on their hardshells so if you are worried about delamination you could get one of their jackets.
Fall off Arc’teryx was never supposed to be a street wear brand it was always supposed be something that you buy one of and it works for the rest of you life. what I mean by that is they want to make a good qaulity jacket that will last not one that everybody wants to run out and buy they never intended for there brand to be a big trend
I agree, that’s why I think they’ll “fall off”. The streetwear crowd is going to move on to something new, meanwhile Arc’Teryx will continue to do what they’ve always done (make high quality functional clothes). Falling off isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if you’re not a trend-driven brand.
@@Indigololz true
@@Indigololz Your use of "falling off" is nonsense. Arc'Teryx has been around longer than you have been alive, and does not care about your hot takes on irrelevant trends. Who cares what the "streetwear crowd" wants to co-opt next?
I used buy Arc'teryx from a number of different online outfitters. I noticed over the last year or so, all these outfitters seem to have dropped the line of clothing from their roles. Anyone know why? Seems like you can only find it on their own website.
Yes new contracts with better marge.
Not sure if they’re going to fall off, maybe the ArcTeryx brand yes, but Gorpcore has existed for 10 years already, even though it recently got more hype. I think ‘technical’ streetwear will remain popular.
Gorpcore and outdoor clothing will always be reference points for menswear imo. The brands that stay the most relevant will be the ones that make an intentional effort to do so. We’ll see if Arc’Teryx makes that decision.
‘Gorpcore’ has existed for 30 years already… as with all trends, started in the wild, moved to the plains, ended up in the urban jungle on the backs hype-beasts before settling down in the suburbs. Gained an accelerated notoriety through the lens of social media. 😂
I bought my first jacket several months ago and I’ve been an Arc’teryx fan ever since. Now, I own about 4 jackets by Arc’teryx. The quality is just magnificent. Arc’teryx as a street wear is just for people who want to get in and call themselves “adventurous”. People buying it because it’s “trendy wont really know how great and versatile it is. For people like me, who actually use it to go camping, hiking and trail running, know how great Arc’teryx is and I will keep buying.
That’s great! Arc’Teryx definitely makes some high quality clothes. My main concern is that they’re entertaining the newfound interest from the streetwear crowd. I hope they don’t lose focus and continue to maintain their high standards of production.
i don’t think acrctyerx will ever fall out in the pacific north west,
As someone that lives in Seattle, I agree. I think there will always be a place for ArcTeryx in outdoor culture, but I don’t think it will retain it’s place in mainstream fashion.
great video!
Thanks for watching ✌🏻
“Street wear people” might stop buying but people using it for outdoors won’t
They still have a factory in Vancouver. I have friends working there.
It’s like 4 wheel drive. There are places and activities that actually depend on really good gear. In SE Alaska we legitimately need hooded jackets and Gortex shells all the time, and 4 wheel drive!
i bought my first alpha in like 2000
arcy cant " fall off" they are the worlds
absolute best high altitude survival gear company period
they havent changed in standards or innovation since then
if u all decided to start RPing outdoor types recently
thats your trend that will die off lol
the people who buy this stuff for its actual use
will continue to do so
since they have no competition
I had no idea Arc'Teryx were a fashion statement! :)
Strange, right?
It is because of the bling factor, it's like a Mercedes G-Wagon for city slickers !
The Arc’teryx fit is a big reason why so many non adventurers-urban types go for this brand. It looks great and the brand suggests you do stuff in the woods. The whole package weaves a narrative of “I have money, I’m fit and and I do stuff outdoors.” Now that they are making their jackets in China means you are paying way too much for the product as Chinese labor is extremely cheap and their healthcare is paid by the Chinese government. I own the Atom AR and absolutely love it…but that’s the end of the line for me.
When did it blow up? Never heard of this brand until I went camping 3 years ago
Many outdoor focused people truly in the know are now avoiding Arc'teryx. Other companies like Hally Hansen have even better stuff these days at better prices too.
Admitting that you have a sensitivity problem towards someone based on their own environment parameters is your best option for future success. I lived in windy, rainy, snowy cities all over North America. I recognize you made a commercial introspective video about industry and celebrity hipsters. I’m sure you don’t have a clue what the difference between metropolitan and urban is. Come take a walk with me in my urban life, then I’ll show you what metro. looks like.
Approved.! Anta will kill the name
What do y’all think about Arc’Teryx? Are they here to stay or going away?
When you brought up rappers and street wear fashion people it's the exclusivity, price, no rapper or Hypebeast want things that are obtainable, everyone has northface, fewer have Patagonia, the price and fit, are what they flock to
Shout out Vancouver !!!
Yessir, we love our friends north of the border 🤝
you'd better
I think wearing Arc'teryx is fine everyday especially the atom LT. I'm from Oklahoma where it's mostly always windy so having a beta LT or AR is definitely my next purchase to have a great jacket combo for colder weather
The Arc'teryx stores are why it will fail. I'm a bigger guy and have had two different times that the store didn't have anything in XXL in the store. And if your asking 900$ for a jacket and don't have it in stock you miss out.
This is just a personal thing for me, but I run from their colors. I have had over the last eight years over thirty pieces. Jackets, pants, shorts, toques, hats, shoes, shirts, and for me, everything must be either grey, black or dark blues and greens. The only reason I purchase Arc'teryx though is their quality. But, I have to say, as of late, that I am totally turned off of this Chinese CCP militant look with almost everything they are creating, really awful and uninspiring. Long live the Atom and Gamma lines! Anyways, that is just my take on all things Arc'teryx nowadays.
Thanks for sharing! ✌🏻
Good
Thanks my friend ✌🏻
Beware! Be very careful ordering regear as I have had several bad experiences with Arcteryx and poor attention to detail. I ordered a Cerium jacket used obviously great condition says on website then when they ship it I notice on the shipping invoice it states professionally repaired under arms. What you didn't disclose that before the sale. Then a pair of Gamma pants XL easy enough I own others and arrive as XL TG meaning tall so they don't fit. Hassles and a disgrace honestly for what used to be a quality company
The northvan dudes meme is true ngl.
It made me audibly laugh
@@Indigololz lived there for ~9 years everyone had it. More of a patagonia and kühl guy myself ngl
@@feralhiker6816 I like Kühl a lot - good price points with all the functionality and moderately stylish. Arc’Teryx is cool too, though.
@@Indigololz yep. I have had a pair of renegades last a long time and havent ripped yet after heavy outdoors use
@@feralhiker6816 very cool! I’m not too hardcore of an outdoorsman, but enjoy wearing their stuff for casual hikes.
Arc'teryx has officially attained yuppie-status.
The yuppies will find something else to wear in due time. ✌🏻
Yes please. I don’t it becoming like Canada goose
Your racially charged comments about “rappers” ext. is sad. Who cares if they get recognized by the “urban setting”? They make a good product and you’re suggested product review is not required. I thought we were past this stage of “Hilfigerism”.
Yes, and Porsche and Apple also 🤣🤣🤣
Streetwear destroy all good Outdoorbrands: North Face, Arcteryx, Canda Goose....
At least they're not really touching Kuhl, Marmot, REI CO-OP or Patagonia to an extent.
No they won't Arc'teryx is a sub-division of Anta which is home to the world's largest market of consumers !
They’ll be around, but I don’t think they’ll be a mainstream fashion statement in 3-5 years. Falling off isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since their core customer base isn’t following fashion trends, they’re hiking mountains. I could have been clearer about that in the video.
@@Indigololz what examples are there of fashion trends that are still at their peak of trendiness beyond 3-5 years? Could probably say the same about anything. We are already past the peak for dunks/AJ 1’s, and in 3-5 years, New balance and ALD will probably have come back down in trendiness as well. I’m trying to think of any micro-trends (not something broad like “denim” or “sneakers”) that would last beyond 3-5 years at its peak trendiness
I’d say it’s really hard for a particular style to remain relevant beyond that 3-5 year period (I.e. the Beta LT) - because fashion evolves so quickly. However, there are certain brands which are perennially trendy (Nike, Levi’s, Supreme etc) because they are monitoring and adapting to changing consumer preferences. I think Arc’Teryx has the right bones to stay on-trend if they wish - something like the Beta LT would just need the fit and some details to be updated to remain a fashion staple. They’re big enough now they could probably hire a more fashion-oriented design team to track trends like Nike or Levi’s, but the desire doesn’t seem to be there. Anyways, the brand will still make nice clothes, it just won’t be the fashion statement it is today.
@@Indigololz Arc'Teryx is not suppose to be a fashion brand, but a mission and extreme sports task brand, but they wanted to court the everyday street wear crowd which will be their down fall !
Hopefully they don’t become another The North Face
I really don't know why people follow what Kanye West is wearing he's a weirdo and can't dress. I will say this Arc'teryx will never fall off. It has a core fan base of people that's into the out doors like Patagonia, the north face and Nike ACG those brands will stick around. They are all hiking and mountaineering brands. For me my favorite is ACG than Arc'teryx and The North Face
Fair points.
When TNF got fashionable, they started producing cheap crap. (which is when I started buying Arc'teryx for its intended purpose) Arc'teryx has kept up its quality (for the most part) & has gone up in price (along with everything else, thanks Biden) without resorting to producing a cheaper line for the fashionistas. - Quality gear built for the mountains.
It's Vancouver LOL we sold most of our land to China, why not sell our clothing companies as well HAHAHA
He hates urban
Patagonia will fall off before Arc'teryx. But with the rise of Quite Outdoor, I dont see it will fall anytime soon.
Seen an orange arcteryx jacket at a local sporting goods store. $450 for a windbreaker, best part was the tag "Made in China". Hard pass.
Ouch :(
Fair comment
