# Summer-Ready High-Performance Climbing Lines Arc'teryx Debuts Its Climb Collection for Summer 2026 By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-06-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climb-collection References: [arcteryx](https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/shop/lithos-sl-harness-9982) & [arcteryx](https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/c/mens/climb) [Arc'teryx](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trail-footwear) has released its new Climb Collection for the summer season. This high-performance gear assortment is anchored by the Lithos SL Harness, which incorporates an advanced version of the brand's Warp Strength Technology to balance support, comfort, and durability for technical climbing activities. The new Lithos SL Harness is sure to capture the attention of climbing enthusiasts, as Arc'teryx originally built its reputation on harnesses. The Lithos SL is designed for climbers who need equipment that can withstand repeated use against rough rock while remaining comfortable enough for long days on the wall. Beyond the harness, Arc'teryx’s 2026 Climb Collection includes the Konseal Pant for men, which provides scuff protection without overheating as temperatures rise, and the Silene Pant for women, developed alongside top female climbers to become virtually unnoticeable once the wearer ties into a rope. The Konseal Subida approach shoe handles rugged, technical terrain with heavy packs, while the Sunna [Tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-vines-tank) wicks moisture away during strenuous efforts in hot conditions. Finally, the Silex [Hat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hard-road-loadout) offers a tough nylon exterior that resists abrasion from rocks and branches, paired with a sweatband that dries quickly.
