Arc'teryx introduced hybrid shell jackets and pants designed specifically for backcountry skiers and for winter climbers. Plus, Vapur brings the After Hours outdoor beverages. Join us for the final day of Outdoor Retailer Winter Market.
Arc'teryx Hybrid Jackets and Pants
Lithic Comp Jacket and Pant
Intense uphills with periods of rest, downhill stretches through deep snow, plus equipment transitions—for backcountry skiers and boarders looking for a single shell solution, Arc'teryx offers the Lithic Comp Jacket (above) and Pant.
The composite garments are designed to release heat and moisture on the way up via back and underarm panels of Arc'teryx's breathable Trusaro softshell. When opened, mesh backing on the hand pockets creates a channel of airflow across the chest. Weatherproof, breathable Gore Fabric Technology panels extend down the jacket front and over the shoulders.

Hardshell Composite Fabric: N70p 3L Gore Fabric Technology with tricot

For ice and alpine climbing specialists Arc’teryx introduces a new Alpha Comp Jacket (right) and Pant. (Some of you may remember a previous Alpha Comp Hoody version. Forget that.)
