Arc’teryx has long affirmed the superiority of GORE-TEX technology, and the company’s latest in-house video shines some light on the duo’s history and the functionality of W.L. Gore and Associates’ products. After taking a chance on Arc’teryx’s debut collection in the late ’90s, the companies have remained staunch partners; Arc’teryx still maintains that GORE-TEX is far superior to all competitors, and puts the products through rigorous tests to ensure their reliability. W.L.
