Whether you’re a seasoned mountaineer, a proponent of gorpcore, or a mix of both, you’re probably familiar with the Vancouver-based outdoors brand Arc’teryx (Did you know it was named after the Archaeopteryx lithographica, the first reptile to develop feathers for flight?). Famous for its waterproof Gore-Tex shell jackets, down parkas, and—if you’re a Brooklyn hipster—the iconic Bird Head Toque hat, the brand is committed to developing the very best in activewear technology, often testing its gear on the Coast Mountains of British Columbia for durability, comfort, and function.
Founded in 1989 by Dave Lane as “Rock Solid,” the brand started out as a collection of climbing harnesses. After enlisting Jeremy Guard, the company was rebranded as “Arc’Teryx” in 1991, with a new logo: a stylized skeleton of the Archaeopteryx lithographica. In 1998, the brand secured a license for Gore-Tex, launching the iconic Alpha SV jacket. In the last few years, Arc’teryx has made its way into high fashion, capturing the attention of street-style icons behind the gorpcore trend and collaborating with designers like Jil Sander. While Arc’teryx gear does cost a pretty penny, there are all kinds of deals to look out for to help you save big on your next purchase. Below, find the best Arc’teryx discounts, promo codes, and offers.
Save up to 50% on past season gear at the Arc’teryx Outlet
Before you commit to buying something full-price, have a look at the Arc’teryx Outlet, where you can score up to 50% off a selection of men’s and women’s shell jackets, base layers, and footwear—including products from Veilance, the brand’s more urban-friendly line. For the steepest discounts, keep an eye out for discontinued colors and previous iterations of core products. Keep in mind, though, that all items purchased at the Arc’teryx Outlet are final sale.
Claim 30% of the original retail price in credit with gear trade-in
Part of Arc’teryx’s commitment to sustainability is ensuring products last for lifetimes. When you trade in gently used Arc’teryx gear, you’ll receive a gift card worth 30% of the original retail value. Trade-ins are processed through the Rebird Resale program—simply complete the trade-in form online to get a shipping label, then package the gear and mail it in, or drop it off in store to save on shipping fees. Only eligible items will qualify for the trade-in, so those that pose hygiene issues, like cotton T-shirts or headwear, are less likely to be accepted. A good rule of thumb is that if you wouldn’t gift it to a friend, it likely won’t be eligible.

Through Arc’teryx’s Pro Program, qualified outdoor experts and community partners—including mountain guides, park rangers, firefighters, ski instructors, and more—can take advantage of special discounted pricing. To apply, fill out an application and verify your professional credentials on the Arc’teryx site.
Enjoy free standard shipping on all US orders
Arc’Teryx offers free shipping on all orders placed within the US—no minimum purchase required. This includes items from the Arc’teryx Outlet, and also extends to free returns within a 30-day window for most purchases. Whether you’re grabbing a pair of merino wool hiking socks or a comfortable jacket for day hikes, the price on the tag (plus tax) is all you’ll be paying.
