References: arcteryx & highsnobiety
System_A is a sub-label of the popular high-performance outdoor label Arc'teryx. This venture introduces new modes of exploration and this season, the brand boasts that "System_A follows a winter bouldering crew as they explore the rocks of Utah." This serves as inspiration for the sub-label's offerings which champion warmth, breathability, active recovery, and overall support.
For its fourth drop, System_A boasts a range of garments in Jupiter Pink. The inviting color adorns the GORE-TEX Kobah Parka, various sweatsuits, and a hybrid down blanket/poncho. System_A sourced upcycled Rebird textiles, emphasizing the sub-label's commitment to sustainability. While the price range for this collection runs pretty high (between $200 USD and $1,100 USD), the garments are top-of-the-line and extremely durable.
