Most people's understanding of Archaeopteryx comes from its jacket, but also stops at the jacket, although no brand can do the first outdoor product line, but each has its own advantages of the project, in addition to the jacket, Arc'teryx hiking bags and other outdoor equipment is also one of its advantages of products, both quality and quality control are firmly in the first echelon.
Archaeopteryx was born in North Vancouver, Canada, which has a unique climate: the Coast Mountains climate is humid and cold, 75% of the area is rugged and steep, and 60% of the area is covered by forests, which not only gives birth to a profound outdoor culture, but also is the perfect place for outdoor product development and testing.
All Arc'teryx products are positioned at the top level, but this mainly depends on its high brand added value, not cost-effective, which is particularly obvious in the performance of mountaineering bags, the price of casual backpacks starts at 1000 yuan, and the pricing of outdoor functional mountaineering bags is basically more than 2500 yuan, if the backpack capacity exceeds 50L, its price often exceeds 5000 yuan, which is higher than Osprey and Gregory.
Compared with the more professional Osprey and Gregory, the Arc'teryx backpack is mainly a casual series, and 26 of the 50 backpacks on sale are positioned for urban commuting, which is not unrelated to the limited adaptation of professional mountaineering bags, small audiences, and low frequency of use.
As a representative of Arc'teryx's classic leisure bag, Blade20 can be used outdoors and in urban commuting, its thermoplastic padded back panel can provide support for the back, and the shoulder straps are dual-density padded to ensure long-term carrying comfort, while effectively dispersing the weight of the shoulders, although the nominal 20L capacity, but because the internal storage compartment is more scientific, the space utilization rate is very good, it can fit a 15-inch laptop, mobile phones, wallets, electronic supplies, etc. also have special storage bags, It's just that, as I said before, as a backpack with non-professional positioning, the price of 1165 yuan is obviously a bit high.
Although the Arc'teryx professional outdoor backpack model is not rich, its classification is quite targeted, including all-weather outdoor, skiing, mountaineering, hiking and field running five categories, of which the all-weather multi-functional series, hiking series The maximum capacity has reached 60L, which can be carried more and heavier, and the rest of the series have higher requirements for the lightweight of the backpack, so the capacity is controlled at about 20L.
Among these relatively specialized collections, Bora the Archaeopteryx is the most well-known and has been a signature in the Arc'teryx's hiking bag since its birth in 1994. The Bora AR 50 has an exclusive RotoGlide dynamic slide carrying system, which allows the backpack to change position with the movement of the body during exercise, and the center of gravity can always be kept within a controllable range.
Its main body is made of strong and wear-resistant N420P-HT fabric, the top pocket and front kangaroo pocket are N420R-AC² waterproof fabric, all the stitches have been laminated, so the waterproof ability is still good, there are two aluminum brackets inside, the overhead design is conducive to air flow, the GridLock shoulder strap can slightly adjust the shoulder width and back length, so that the backpack and the body shape are more fitting, the capacity can meet the needs of 2-3 days of hiking, the price is 3600 yuan, it still seems high.
However, although Archaeopteryx currently has an official e-commerce platform in China, the models of professional mountaineering bags that can be purchased on it are very limited, and the price is higher than overseas.
