Arc’teryx Nexis Jacket in Whiskey Jack.
Why we love it: If you’re a fan of exploring the outdoors, chances are, you’re already well acquainted with the North Vancouver-headquartered brand Arc’teryx.
The company offers a variety of men’s and women’s clothing, accessories and more, each one with functional elements built in to facilitate the aforementioned outdoor exploration. And the minimalist pieces can be pretty stylish, too.
The bomber-style Nexis Jacket is a prime example of this. The jacket features 750 fill European grey goose down certified to the Responsible Down Standard and a lightweight Teprine shell for water repellent wear, and a touch of shine for added style.
Available in four colours — black (Carbon Copy), red (Andesine/Flux), green (Wildwood) and dark purple (Whiskey Jack) — the puffer piece looks as chic for everyday when worn with sleek separates such as a black turtleneck and ankle-cropped trousers, as it is functional on the trail.
This versatility is a key focus of the latest Arc’teryx boutique, a lifestyle-focussed shop, which opened this month in Metropolis at Metrotown. Offering styles for both men and women, the store is designed to highlight the wearability of the brand’s garments, beyond outdoor exploration through smart layering and, of course, a little savvy styling.
The price: $300
