Arc’teryx Claws Its Way Into The Trail Running Category

Active Junky testers watch in amazement at trade shows any time this venerable Vancouver, B.C. company enters a category.  Last winter, it was a backcountry ski boot and airbag pack.  Now their attention turns to technical trails like those strewn around their home base and well beyond.  Norvan VT is not for Central Park jog-arounds but caters to cross-training alpinists and mountain runners willing to brave greater heights and gnarlier trail conditions.  A proprietary 360-degree Support System puts better edging and overall traction to work in a Spring 2017 shoe, with a GTX model offered as well.
