Arc'teryx DC grand pre-opening

I wouldn't call it a party, but there were some fine spirits tonight that matched the tenor of the evening. After a brief address by David Kramer of Uber Group, Arc'teryx LEAF's US sales representative, the 50+ guests got to break in the establishment with some holiday shopping.

Aside from the signature alpine & performance equipment, hyper-metro Veilance line and pieces from their new "24" work/life line, there was a display showing a few pieces of the 2015 LEAF line. I can't show you anything, but I can say there are some line extensions along with a few new products that show the brand continues to blur the line between military and athletic performance equipment.

Sadly, the DC brand store won't be stocking LEAF equipment for sale. But, they will carry a wide range of their most popular commercial clothing and equipment.
