Arc’teryx, originally called Rock Solid, was founded in 1989 by Dave Lane. At the time, the store sold only climbing gear. In 1991, the company, with then-principal Jeremy Guard, rebranded and began also selling outerwear, eventually becoming famous for their Gore-Tex shell jackets, knitwear, and down parkas. 

The name Arc’teryx was derived from the term “Archaeopteryx,” or the transitional fossil of early dinosaurs to modern dinosaurs — better known as birds. In January 2001, Arc’teryx was purchased by the Adidas-owned Salomon Group. From there, Amer Sports purchased the Salomon Group from Adidas in 2005. Appropriately, Arc’teryx’s reach has spanned beyond sports, infiltrating the street fashion scene as many high-quality rugged brands do. An Arc’teryx Alpha SV jacket costs $4,000 before tax.  

The store will debut directly across the street from Patagonia, one of its leading competitors.
