Obsessive Design: Empowering Movement (Ep. 5) 

I think they’ve had this for a while

I don't think it would take weight off of her knee as it doesn't seem to be that kind of support, but it would mean that moving takes less effort, which could still help

An outdoor company looking to make outdoors more accessible for more people is a bad thing? If anything, this will bring more people to the brand. I know I was an avid hiker out in BC a few years ago, but my knees now (torn ACL in both) make it very hard to get back to where I was. Something like this can help support me when needed, but they even made it so that it can be removed which is amazing. So you use it when you really need it. I can see this help a lot of people in just day to day life honestly. I think you are just one of those snobs that don't like how big and common place this company became. You like to think you are in your own little private expensive club, but with other commoners now wearing your gear, you don't feel special.

The whole point of this is designed for people with movement disabilities lol. Normal people don't need a movement assist for their knees. Did you not notice every tester in the video is like over 60 lol

@@-Meric- Dude. It was one woman who was older. And she wasn't that old. Maybe you don't know what disability means. Knowing Arc'teryx I guarantee that you'll see a young hiker with these. But I'll be a bazillon and four dollars that you own Hoka, right? Hike once every couple of months? Yeah. I think I'm right because I'm not getting a sense that you're seeing the bigger picture.

@teejay3272 This isn't an arcrteryx product. It's a Skip project which was formerly a Moonshot (X) project. Arc just makes the pants. Arcreryx didn't suddenly become a robotics and machine learning company

@@-Meric- Yeah. I read the copy. Teamed up with Skip. How how can we help more people go farther. It also said, "Deep in the Arc'teryx Design Center sits the advanced concepts team." This was around their work. It's a partnership. That's how a lot of business is done. Similar to TNF partnering with Gucci. The point is they're turning away from making gear for it's intended use. It's becoming a fashion brand and whatever the hell this nonsense is. And that's fine. It's their call. But I'm done. There's better or as good options out there at a lesser price point. I use gear, and beat it up, so I'll get a better bang for my buck elsewhere. And I'm not the only person who's turned away from them. Means nothing to them. They're working the working the urban market now. That's not me.
