Arc'teryx introduces a look at its newest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2024 season and it is highlighted by the brand's first print in the freeride capsule dubbed Grottoflage. The pattern is the brand's iteration of a traditional camouflage pattern and it is bold rather than fades into the background.
The Grottoflage is inspired by the brand's Grotto Toque beanie which is seen covering nine of the men's and women's designs. Notably, the brand's Sentinel jacket, Sabre jacket, Sabre pants, and the Rho base layers are adorned with the Grottoflage. The brand also works together with outdoor brand Atomic which forms a limited ski coat and pants in the same pattern. This is the inaugural winter pattern that makes a dynamic statement.
