Authentic vintage 2001 Arc’teryx Gore-Tex XCR shell jacket in the highly sought-after Azul two-tone blue colorway. A true Arc’teryx archive piece that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in this condition.

The jacket is in excellent overall condition and has been meticulously maintained. Like many Gore-Tex jackets from this era, the original seam tape adhesive began to age over time. To ensure its longevity, I had it professionally restored by a technical outerwear repair shop using commercial-grade heat presses and replacement seam tape. It presents beautifully and is ready for many more years of use.

I’ve worn this jacket on countless hikes throughout the Alaskan backcountry, and it has always been cared for with attention to proper technical garment maintenance. It’s truly my personal holy grail and one of the nicest vintage Arc’teryx pieces I’ve owned.

Care has always included:

* Washed with Nikwax Tech Wash.
* Air dried.
* Re-treated with Arc’teryx DWR water-repellent spray.
* Tumble dried on no heat to help set the DWR finish.

Features:

* Gore-Tex XCR waterproof/breathable shell.
* Rare Azul factory colorway (two-tone blue).
* Large pit zip vents for ventilation.
* Oversized chest zip pockets.
* Adjustable waist cinch.
* Adjustable cuff closures with pristine Velcro.
* All adjustment points and hardware function as intended.
* Lightweight technical hiking, climbing, skiing, backpacking, and everyday shell.

Perfect for collectors of vintage Arc’teryx, archive technical apparel, gorpcore, Y2K outdoor fashion, or anyone looking for a premium Gore-Tex shell built to last.
