PACK LIGHT DONE RIGHT

In the mountains, weight reigns supreme, every ounce counts and durability matters. Watching our athletes evolve and seeing a need to create something light, packable and incredibly durable, we created a new innovation — ground up.

Arc’teryx to the core, Hadron™ is a revolution in design and was a success straight out of the gate — one of our first athlete samples is still in use today (5-years later).

We dare you to wear it out.

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS MEET MOUNTAIN, ICE, RIVER. EVERYONE, MEET HADRON™.

Highly engineered, Hadron™ meets your performance needs by letting you go lighter, faster, and further.

A SWEET SPOT BETWEEN WORLDS.

Light, airy and mountain tough — did we mention comfortable?

WINNING OUTSIDE ITS WEIGHT CLASS.

YOUR NO BRAINER, LIVE IN THE PACK PIECE

“You won’t think twice about bringing it,” says longtime Arc’teyrx designer Greg Grenzke.

“Regardless of the mission, it’s coming with you because it’s the most versatile, light and durable fabric out there.”

A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH

You don’t have to be a scientist to understand the importance of lightweight and durable.

…But for those of you who like to tech out: Hadron™ fabric is made by weaving an impossibly fine-gauge liquid crystal polymer (material with exceptional mechanical strength) into already durable ripstop (reinforced gridded nylon) to create best-in-class abrasion resistance that’s as durable as fabric twice its weight.
