\"\"This past summer, Sporting Life, in conjunction with Arc\u2019teryx, launched a new program to showcase the Arc\u2019teryx brand in our stores. This program provides you with a dedicated Arc\u2019teryx in-store contact, an \u201cArc\u2019tech\u201d (Arc\u2019teryx Technical Product Expert<\/em>), who you can directly learn from and ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what does this this means for you, our customer? We spoke with our new team of Arc\u2019techs to find out just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So…What exactly is an Arc\u2019tech ambassador?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arc\u2019techs are Sporting Life staff members who share the Arc\u2019teryx ethos with customers and fellow staff members. Through product-focused experiences, the Arc\u2019techs bring Arc\u2019teryx to life in our stores. They create inspiring and informed educational opportunities for their colleagues and memorable Arc\u2019teryx product moments for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it take to be an Arc\u2019tech ambassador?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ambassador shares knowledge about Arc\u2019teryx, local adventures and activities with both customers and staff. They are fluent in all things Arc\u2019teryx and often are gear junkies! They work hard to ensure the department and store are merchandised, and they\u2019re trained on the product and brand of Arc\u2019teryx. They also partake in Arc\u2019teryx activities, discussions, and product testing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you find an Arc’tech ambassador in store? Does every store have one?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arc\u2019techs can be found where you find Arc\u2019teryx products. The program is currently in our following locations: Collingwood, Brentwood, Market Mall, Markville, Hillcrest, Yonge, Yorkdale, and Sherway.\u00a0 Feel free to ask any of our staff members for the local Arc\u2019teryx Arc\u2019tech and they will be able to direct you to the right person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are the Arc\u2019techs trained on Arc\u2019teryx<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In Person Training at the Arc\u2019teryx Academy<\/li>
  2. In Person Product Knowledge Sessions inc Gore-Tex ie. the Toronto Super PK\u00a0\u00a0 <\/li>
  3. Online Training Modules via App<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At the Arc\u2019teryx Academy in Squamish, what were some of the mountain highlights you experienced?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Arc\u2019tech team has the opportunity to take the Sea to Sky Gondola up into the Coastal Mountains around Squamish. Views were endless and the team had a hands on training with some of the Arc\u2019teryx advanced concepts design team! The team also had a chance to hike the famous Stawamus Chief First Peak hiking trail which looks directly down to Squamish and gives a great views of climbers on nearby rock faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You also had the opportunity to visit Arc\u2019One, the manufacturing and distribution facility that Arc\u2019teryx has in New Westminster near Vancouver, what was that like? <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Visiting ARC\u2019One was one of the highlights of the trip. Seeing the jackets being hand made by people was inspiring and showed us how much time, detail and work goes into each and everyone. The space was huge and we had the opportunity to walk the product journey from raw fabric to cutting, construction, seam tapping and more until the final product was assessed and deemed ready to wear. The effort and fine details that goes into making the product is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s one thing you learned on this trip about the brand that surprised you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The design team builds and tests everything in their own building in North Vancouver before the product even hits production. Additionally, the team of seamstresses and tailors who create these prototypes, saw no lost days of work due to COVID-19. If that\u2019s not commitment \u2014 I don\u2019t know what is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One thing that surprised me while visiting the ARC\u2019One facility was the time and effort dedicated by their expert manufacturing team to the Arc\u2019teryx ReBird™<\/a> program. This program extends the lifecycle of Arc\u2019teryx products by repairing warrantied goods to create beautiful one-of-a-kind garments and give them a second life for a discerning, sustainability-minded Arc fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s next for the Arc\u2019tech ambassadors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now that we are trained on the brand and the products we will be putting our experience into practice in store! We will be continuing our product training throughout the season and will be finding unique was to activate with colleagues and customers in store.  Come and find us on your next visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you can\u2019t make it to one of our stores to connect directly with one of our Arc\u2019teryx Arc\u2019techs, check out our wide range of Arc\u2019teryx<\/a> products \u2014 from jackets to backpacks for men and women \u2013 Arc\u2019teryx has you covered!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
