High quality, but also high-priced: that’s how people know Arc’teryx. And the brand’s first bike wear collection is also easily recognizable as Arc’teryx: form-fitting, waterproof zippers, and of course the trademark: the skeleton of an Archaeopteryx.

According to the press release, the Rhoam collection was developed on the trails of North Vancouver, near where the Arc’teryx Design Center is located. Many of their employees regularly ride mountain bikes, the manufacturer reports. “Biking is part of our culture,” says Ashley Anson, Vice President of Design. “We wanted to create fits that allow for unrestricted freedom of movement on the bike—with the best Arc’teryx quality.”

What this means is evident from the promotional images, where raindrops roll perfectly off the outer shell and even the mud splatters on the pant leg somehow look good. The collection consists of shorts, long freeride pants, and a jacket. Arc’teryx promises that it can be combined with existing bike gear. There’s room for knee pads and a helmet; sleeves, the jacket, and pant hems are adjustable. The entire collection is available in styles for women and men.

The Rhoam Capsule Collection is available now at select Arc’teryx stores, other specialty retailers, and online. Arc’teryx makes no compromises on price either: the shorts cost 199 euros, the long pants 319 euros, and the jacket 499 euros. The collection is limited edition—but the Canadians aren’t revealing exactly how many pieces there are.
