Arc'teryx Sale

Arc'teryx Sale at Behind The Pines Amsterdam

Reduced Arc'teryx across shells, insulation, softshell and packs. Arc'teryx rarely discounts deeply, so what appears here is usually a previous-season colourway of a piece that is otherwise unchanged. If you have been waiting for a Beta or an Atom, this is the sensible moment.

Same construction, same materials, same warranty. Only the price and the colour have moved.

Understanding the naming

Arc'teryx names look opaque until you know the logic, and then the whole range makes sense quickly. The Greek letter tells you what the piece is for. Beta is the all-round GORE-TEX shell. Alpha is the alpine-focused version. Gamma is softshell. Atom is synthetic insulation. Delta and Kyanite are fleece.

The suffix tells you the weight. SL is superlight, LT is lightweight, AR is all-round, SV is severe weather. So a Beta SL is a light everyday shell and a Beta AR is built for sustained bad weather.

Beta and the shells

The Beta is the piece most people are actually looking for, and the difference between versions is worth understanding before you buy. Our Beta vs Beta SL comparison covers which one suits which use, and the Beta fit guide deals with sizing, which runs closer to the body than most outdoor brands.

If you want the background on the membrane itself, what exactly is GORE-TEX explains where the money goes.

Atom and insulation

The Atom is the mid layer that ends up being worn on its own most of the year. Coreloft synthetic insulation through the body, breathable fleece side panels so you do not overheat, and light enough to live in a bag. We wrote about how it pairs with a shell in the Atom Hoody and Beta Jacket layering system.

Fleece, softshell and packs

The Kyanite and Delta fleece pieces sit under a shell without bulk. Gamma softshell is the answer for dry cold and wind, where a hardshell is overkill. On the pack side, the Mantis and Granville carry the same construction standards into daily use.

How to choose the right Arc'teryx piece

Work out what you actually need protecting from. Rain and wind means a hardshell, and for most people in the Netherlands a Beta covers it comfortably. Cold without much rain means insulation, so an Atom. Wind and effort in dry cold means Gamma softshell.

Then get the size right. Arc'teryx fits trimmer than most outdoor brands and is designed to layer over a mid layer, not over a hoodie and a fleece. Our layering guide explains how the pieces stack, and if you are weighing the brand against the obvious alternative, Patagonia vs Arc'teryx jackets is an honest comparison.

What to expect in the Arc'teryx Sale

• GORE-TEX shells: Beta and related models in previous colourways.
• Insulation: Atom jackets and hoodies.
• Fleece and softshell: Kyanite, Delta and Gamma pieces.
• Packs and bags: Mantis and Granville, when stock allows.

Frequently asked questions

What do LT, AR, SV and SL mean?

They describe weight and intended conditions. SL is superlight, LT lightweight, AR all-round, SV severe weather. The Greek name tells you the category; the suffix tells you how heavy-duty it is.

Does Arc'teryx run small?

It runs trim rather than small, cut to layer over a mid layer rather than a thick fleece. The Beta fit guide has the detail.

Beta or Beta SL?

Beta SL for lighter everyday use and packability. Beta for more durability and sustained bad weather. The comparison article covers it properly.

Can I wear an Atom on its own?

Yes, and most people do for a large part of the year. It also works as a mid layer under a shell.

Are sale pieces current models?

Almost always the current construction in a previous-season colour. Arc'teryx changes designs slowly.
