05Why shop here instead of a major retail chain?
When you visit us, you are supporting a locally owned family business that has been part of the Brighton community since 1981.
More importantly, you get time and expertise. Our team understands the products on the floor and offers honest, individual advice—so the recommendation suits you, not a sales target.
06Do you stock a full range of Arc’teryx?
As a premium stockist on Church Street, we carry a substantial Arc’teryx selection: technical GORE-TEX jackets, parkas, t-shirts, jumpers, beanies, caps and high-performance footwear.
Availability changes with the season. If you are looking for a particular model, colour or size, call ahead and we will check the floor for you.
