Arc'teryx is a Canadian technical outdoor brand founded in 1989 in Vancouver by a group of climbers who set out to build the most reliable mountain gear available. At Empire, we are proud to carry Arc'teryx snowboard outerwear as an authorized Canadian retailer, available in our stores across Quebec and online at ThinkEmpire.com.

What started as a basement operation crafting climbing harnesses quickly became something larger, driven by the same obsession: obsessing over craft, testing gear in real conditions in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, and listening directly to athletes who push into the most demanding terrain. That foundation shaped a brand that now sets the standard for technical mountain apparel worldwide.

Built for riders who go beyond the marked run.

Arc'teryx snow outerwear is engineered around one of the core challenges of backcountry riding: managing thermoregulation between the high-output effort of skinning uphill and the low-output cool of standing at a ridgeline. The result is a collection of jackets and pants designed to handle dynamic mountain weather, protect against rugged terrain, and allow full freedom of movement without restriction.

Every design decision at Arc'teryx is driven by the realities of mountain travel: technical terrain that demands traction and durability, protection from unpredictable conditions, and the kind of range of motion that lets riders move without thinking about their gear. Each material and construction choice is made to meet specific performance demands, not to follow a trend.

A brand that takes its environmental responsibility seriously.

Arc'teryx has set absolute emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees. For a brand built on access to wild mountain landscapes, that commitment is as foundational as the gear itself.

At Empire, we carry the Arc'teryx snowboard range only: outerwear, technical clothing, and accessories designed for riding. Climbing equipment and alpine gear are not part of our offering.
