Arc'teryx Equipment is excited to partner with composite materials manufacturer ALUULA Composites to evolve Arc'teryx's product offering using new and innovative ultralight fabrics. With a shared commitment to creating high-performance products for outdoor athletes in extreme conditions, the close cultural alignment between Arc'teryx and ALUULA Composites makes for a seamless partnership. Based in North Vancouver and Victoria, BC, respectively, the brands are united in their creative mindset, dedication to sustainability, and commitment to expanding what's possible for athletes.

The Arc'teryx team was drawn to ALUULA's unique approach to material development and commitment to unparalleled material performance, as well as the potential for game-changing product circularity. A major, shared goal is to further ALUULA's existing recycling efforts by developing a take-back and recycling program for products built with this innovative monomaterial that currently does not exist in the industry. Dedicated to delivering innovation for the mountain athlete, Arc'teryx continually seeks lighter, more durable material solutions for fast and efficient travel in the mountains.

ALUULA is creating a new class of composite materials that supersedes conventional coated and laminated woven fabrics. Using a patented fusion process, ALUULA Composites has developed a unique way to fuse fibers at a molecular level. The result creates an extremely light, strong, and durable composite material that is up to eight times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, yet is lighter than nylon, polyester, and even aramid fibers.

Following a rigorous development process, Arc'teryx will be releasing the first mainline product using ALUULA materials in Spring 2025. The partnership between Arc'teryx andALUULA Composites has the potential to reshape how the industry develops new product and how those products are made and disposed of, leading to a global impact that goes beyond performance.
