The Arc’teryx Veilance 2012 Spring/Summer Collection is streetwear for the quietly confident. A reputation for uncompromising functionality combined with hyper-minimalist styling carries through from the Art’teryx core lines of performance outdoor and military/law enforcement clothing, to their continually evolving Veilance street series. Considerations like “sophisticated yet simple in appearance … increasingly streamlined and quieter in execution … performance beyond expectations … comfortingly recognizable concealing the cutting-edge” allow the Veilance wearer to “project personality or stay stealthy.” Put another way: “Hardshells, softshells, mid layers, base layers, shirts and pants make up this structured approach to a contemporary wardrobe, obsessively tweaked to equip the wearer for a day-to-day urban existence.” Hardwear.
