Sub-brands

  • Arc'teryx LEAF 2005

    A specialized line developed for Arc'teryx's “Law Enforcement & Armed Forces” segment. Designed for professional use, its equipment focused on practicality and reliability in harsh environments, and it was operated as a distinct line within the brand. Arc'teryx has since integrated its LEAF and PRO lines, which are now presented on the platform as “Arc'teryx PRO”; LEAF is therefore positioned as the name of the pre-integration line.

  • Arc'teryx Veilance 2009

    A derivative line launched by Arc'teryx in 2009, primarily intended for wear in urban environments. It reconfigures material selection, three-dimensional construction, and sewing techniques developed for mountain gear into a “system” based on minimalist forms and layering, extending them into garments designed to respond to everyday climate changes. In recent years, the “Arc'teryx” prefix has been dropped from the brand name, making its operation under the name Veilance clearer; within the range of lines, it serves as a specialist offering focused on urban use.

  • Arc'teryx System_A 2021

    A gender-inclusive collection conceived by Arc'teryx for the next generation and launched on August 11, 2021. Built on the functionality required for mountain activities, it emphasizes fashion elements through its use of color, logos, and paneling, and is positioned as an offering that bridges “play” in the mountains with everyday wear. With a role distinct from Veilance (urban-focused) and PRO/LEAF (professional use), this derivative line serves as an entry point bringing a broader audience to Arc'teryx.

  • Arc'teryx PRO 2025

    A line developed by Arc'teryx for professionals who need gear purpose-built for their work. A policy was outlined to officially integrate the LEAF and PRO lines and operate them as a more efficient single platform, reorganizing the line to encompass LEAF's heritage. Running alongside the brand's main line, it serves as the core category for mission- and work-related use, with user requirements and operating environments clearly defined.
