Arc’teryx is a Canadian outdoor label, designed in British Columbia and owned by Amer Sports, a group listed in New York. Its segment grew 30% in 2025, and it has no Indian company, no Indian partner and no delivery to India.
On 22 September 2026 Myntra carried no Arc’teryx listing at all, while the same session found 2,429 Columbia listings. This page sets out what the filings say about the owner, where the jackets are made, what stands behind the waterproof claims, and how a buyer in India can tell a genuine one.
Arc’teryx belongs to Amer Sports, Inc., listed on the New York Stock Exchange, whose largest shareholder is ANTA Sports. Amer’s subsidiary list names no Indian company, the brand’s own site does not ship to India, and Myntra had zero listings on 22 September 2026. Its shells use GORE-TEX, but no waterproof figure is published for them.

Who owns Arc’teryx
Arc’teryx sits inside Amer Sports, Inc., a Cayman Islands company whose ordinary shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AS. Amer files as a foreign private issuer, which means an annual Form 20-F rather than a 10-K. Its latest, for the year to 31 December 2025, was filed on 26 February 2026.
The present shape dates from 2019. In the words of Amer’s own prospectus, “an international investment consortium consisting of ANTA Sports, FountainVest, Anamered Investments (an entity affiliated with Dennis J. (Chip) Wilson) and Tencent … acquired Amer Sports”. The group then returned to the market with 105,000,000 shares at US$13.00 each, on a prospectus dated 31 January 2024.
- 2019Consortium led by ANTA Sports acquires Amer Sports
- Jan 2024New York listing, 105 million shares at US$13.00
- Mar 202620,604,396 new shares sold at US$36.40
- Mar 2026ANTA calls itself Amer’s largest shareholder
The owner of Arc’teryx is listed, and no single holder had a majority at the listing.
At the listing, the prospectus said ANTA Sports, FountainVest, Anamered and Tencent would hold 47.5%, 14.1%, 21.2% and 6.5% of the shares. No single holder had a majority. Those figures are from February 2024, and Amer has issued shares since, including the March 2026 offering above.
What can be said today comes from two documents. ANTA’s results release of 25 March 2026 states that “ANTA Sports is also the largest shareholder of Amer Sports, Inc.” Amer’s 2025 accounts list ANTA, FountainVest and Anamered as owners “each with significant influence over Amer Sports, Inc.” Neither gives a current percentage, so this page prints none.
The 47.5% for ANTA is a February 2024 figure. Shares have been issued since, so treat any current percentage you read elsewhere as needing its own dated filing.
How big Arc’teryx is, and what the figures include
Amer Sports does not publish Arc’teryx revenue on its own. The brand is reported inside a segment called Technical Apparel, which its half-year report of 18 August 2026 defines as “our Arc’teryx and Peak Performance brands”. Every segment figure below therefore belongs to two brands, Arc’teryx and the label Peak Performance.
| Period | Technical Apparel revenue | Segment adjusted operating profit | Group revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year to 31 Dec 2023 | US$1,614.1m | US$314.4m | US$4,400.4m |
| Year to 31 Dec 2024 | US$2,194.3m | US$460.4m | US$5,183.3m |
| Year to 31 Dec 2025 | US$2,855.8m | US$616.8m | US$6,566.2m |
| Six months to 30 Jun 2026 | US$1,559.2m, +33.0% | US$359.8m | — |
Amer Sports Form 20-F for 2025 and second-quarter release of 18 August 2026. Technical Apparel includes Peak Performance.
The company does credit the growth to this brand in words. Its second-quarter release says “Technical Apparel grew 32% led by Arc’teryx”. Group net income attributable to shareholders swung from a loss of US$208.6 million in 2023 to a profit of US$427.4 million in 2025.
The one Arc’teryx-only number in the filings is the store count. The half-year report shows 265 owned Arc’teryx stores at 30 June 2026, against 183 a year earlier; Peak Performance had 40. The same filings break group revenue down by region — Americas, EMEA, Greater China and Asia Pacific — with mainland China at 27.0% and the United States at 22.5%. There is no India line.
Who sells Arc’teryx in India
Nobody named. Each check below points the same way, and each has a limit worth stating.
Start with the owner. The subsidiary list Amer filed with its 2025 annual report names companies in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand, including one called Arc’teryx Korea Inc. It names no Indian company. A subsidiary list is filed to a significance threshold, so the absence is consistent with no Indian entity rather than proof of one.
The companies register agrees. On a register mirror read on 22 September 2026, a search for “Amer Sports” showed five companies, none of them Amer Sports, and a search for “Arcteryx” showed nothing carrying the brand. The same mirror found Puma’s Indian subsidiary at once, so the search works.
No retailer has named the brand either. We looked for any statement from Reliance Brands or AJIO, Tata CLiQ, Superkicks, VegNonVeg or Mainstreet Marketplace naming Arc’teryx, and found none. Amer’s annual report, its 2025 and 2026 results releases and its Investor Day release do not mention India.
The ten-second check
The brand’s own shipping page answers the practical question. It says purchases “can be shipped to destinations within Canada, USA, Germany, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, France, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland and the Netherlands”. Eighteen countries; India is not among them.
The store locator lists stores in China, Japan, Hong Kong and Macau in Asia, and none in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the UAE or Singapore. It also shows no South Korean store, though Amer owns a Korean Arc’teryx company, so the locator does not list every market. Its silence on India supports the reading; it does not prove it alone.
That leaves an Indian buyer with resellers, grey imports or a purchase made abroad. None of those is a channel the brand names, and none comes with anything Arc’teryx publishes to vouch for it.
Where Arc’teryx is made
Mostly in Asia, by contract factories. Arc’teryx’s own manufacturing page, dated 20 April 2026, says “the majority of Arc’teryx products are manufactured in the Asia-Pacific region” and that “China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Myanmar are central to production”.
The brand also runs its own plant, ARC’One, in the Vancouver area of British Columbia. Two of its pages put ARC’One at about 5% of production, and the manufacturing page calls it the place “where new products are tested and refined before global production”. That 5% is the brand’s own statement, not a filing figure.
The supplier list on the brand’s supply-chain page reads a little differently from the manufacturing page. It names finished-goods and material facilities in China, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, El Salvador, France, Italy, Germany, the United States and Canada. It lists no facility in Myanmar, and none in India. The two pages are printed here side by side.
Three product pages read on 22 September 2026 named the factory. The Beta AR Jacket was made by Mensa Industries in Vietnam, the Alpha SV Jacket by Karian (Taicang) Sports Apparel in China, and the Atom Hoody by Youngone (CEPZ) in Bangladesh. At group level, Amer’s 20-F says about 28% of its sourced products were made in China in 2025.
What Arc’teryx costs in India
There is no Indian price, because there is no Indian shop. Myntra had no brand listing for Arc’teryx on 22 September 2026 — a search for the name brought back adidas — and the brand’s own site does not ship here. With no Indian selling price, this page sets no price band and draws no India-versus-abroad comparison.
The home prices are public. These are the brand’s own list prices, read on 22 September 2026 on its American and Canadian sites, none marked as reduced.
| Model, code | United States | Canada | Factory named on the page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta AR Jacket, X000011062 | US$650.00 | C$840.00 | Mensa Industries, Vietnam |
| Alpha SV Jacket, X000009899 | US$900.00 | C$1,150.00 | Karian (Taicang) Sports Apparel, China |
| Atom Hoody, X000009556 | US$300.00 | C$380.00 | Youngone (CEPZ), Bangladesh |
Neither site says whether sales tax, GST or HST is included, so these are list prices with the tax basis unstated. The factory line can vary by colour; the one shown is what the page carried that day. Any rupee price you meet for these codes is a reseller’s price, set by the reseller.
For brands that do sell here under the same product code, this site has run the like-for-like test: see our audits of Uniqlo, Zara and H&M. For an Indian outdoor label, see our audit of Wildcraft.
What stands behind the performance claims
This is a brand that sells function, so each claim is worth a simple question: is a number, a standard or a test house published behind it?
| Claim | Number published? | Standard or tester named? |
|---|---|---|
| GORE-TEX PRO ePE, “breathable, waterproof, wind-resistant” | No | No |
| Waterproof rating (hydrostatic head) | No | No |
| bluesign materials | No share given | bluesign criteria |
| ReBIRD repair and resale | 43 centres at end 2025 | Not applicable |
| Coreloft Compact 60 insulation | “60” is a product name | No |
The shells carry GORE-TEX, a membrane made by W. L. Gore, and Amer’s annual report says “Gore-Tex is used in certain Arc’teryx, Salomon, Peak Performance and Atomic products”. Neither Arc’teryx’s product page nor Gore’s testing page publishes a water-column figure, a named standard or an outside laboratory. Gore describes its testing in three headings — “Material & System”, “Human Performance” and “In the Field”.
What Gore does publish is a promise. Its guarantee reads: “If you are not satisfied with the waterproofness, windproofness or breathability of your GORE-TEX product, we will repair it, replace it or refund your purchase price.” It excludes loss of water repellency, abrasion and second-hand purchases, so a used jacket bought in India falls outside it.
The strongest thing behind an Arc’teryx shell is not a number but a guarantee — and the guarantee is Gore’s, not Arc’teryx’s.
The sustainability claims are more specific. Product pages say they contain materials “produced through processes that meet bluesign® criteria”, the Alpha SV lists a fluorocarbon-free “FC0 DWR” finish, and the owner’s annual report counts 43 ReBIRD repair and resale centres at the end of 2025, 18 of them opened that year. No figure is published for repairs completed or items resold.
None of this says an Arc’teryx shell leaks. Nothing on this page tests a garment; the finding is about what is published beside the claim.
Can a buyer check that an Arc’teryx jacket is genuine?
Only by eye. Arc’teryx publishes a counterfeit page with a section on how to recognise fake product and dealers, and an address for reports, reportafake@arcteryx.com. It offers no serial number, QR code, hologram or lookup, and links no list of authorised sellers.
The page names one market outright: “Arc’teryx does not operate any stores or sell any product directly to guests in Indonesia. The stores and merchandise currently being sold in Indonesia are unauthorized, and not under warranty by Arc’teryx.” India is not mentioned either way.
A code check is a choice, not an industry limit. Canada Goose’s counterfeit page describes a hologram label sewn into every product since Fall 2017 and links a retailer finder. For readers, the brand’s own four physical cues are the tools on offer.
Look at the zips
The brand says “High quality YKK or Vislon zippers only, with colour matched powder coated sliders.”
Run a finger along the seam tape
Genuine tape is described as “narrow, pliable and cleanly applied.”
Feel the Velcro tabs
“Tapered shape, supple material, no excess decoration or rubberized tabs.”
Check the hangtags
They should be “stitched in place and consistent.” If anything looks off, write to the report address with photographs.
What the courts have decided
No Indian judgment we found concerns Arc’teryx. On 22 September 2026 a search of Indian Kanoon for the name, in either spelling, showed nothing, while the same search for Skechers showed 295 results. That is a search result on that date, not a clean bill: nobody has ruled on anything touching the brand in India.
Common questions
Who owns Arc’teryx?
Amer Sports, Inc., a Cayman Islands company listed on the New York Stock Exchange as AS. ANTA Sports describes itself as Amer’s largest shareholder, and Amer’s 2025 accounts name ANTA, FountainVest and Anamered Investments as owners with significant influence. No current percentage appears in the filings read.
Is Arc’teryx a Canadian brand?
It designs in British Columbia and makes about 5% of its product at its own ARC’One plant in the Vancouver area, by its own account. The rest is made by contract factories, mostly in Asia. Its owner is a Cayman Islands company listed in New York.
Does Arc’teryx sell officially in India?
No document read names an Indian company, distributor or store. Amer’s subsidiary list names no Indian entity, the store locator shows no Indian store, and the brand’s shipping page lists 18 countries, none of them India.
Is Arc’teryx sold on Myntra?
Not on 22 September 2026. Myntra had no brand listing for it, and a search for the name brought back adidas products. The same session found 2,429 Columbia listings, so the marketplace was showing brands normally that day.
How can I tell a fake Arc’teryx jacket?
By the four physical cues the brand publishes: YKK or Vislon zips with colour-matched sliders, narrow clean seam tape, tapered supple Velcro tabs and stitched hangtags. There is no code or hologram to check, and no list of authorised sellers.

The business behind the jackets is well documented and growing fast: a listed owner, a segment that earned US$2,855.8 million in 2025, a Canadian plant making about 5% of the product, and a factory name printed on each product page. For a buyer abroad, that is more disclosure than most outdoor labels give.
For a buyer in India, almost none of it applies. There is no Indian company, no named partner, no delivery and no Myntra listing, so every Arc’teryx sold here comes through a channel the brand does not name. The waterproof promise rests on Gore’s guarantee rather than a published figure, and a second-hand jacket sits outside that guarantee.
Buy Arc’teryx where Arc’teryx sells it; in India, treat every jacket as unproven until the zips, tape and tags pass the brand’s own four checks.
