Kathmandu

Born in New Zealand, we’re spoiled with towering mountains, mist-cloaked fjords, and golden beaches in quiet bays.

You could say it’s the perfect place to dream up, design, and test outdoor gear and apparel. You’d be right.

We’re here to improve the wellbeing of the world through the outdoors. So, we make products that help us — and you — get out there.  

Outside is where we come alive. It liberates us, challenges us, revives us, surprises us. We think it brings out the best in us.

That’s why we want to encourage more people to get out there and enjoy it, too. We believe being outdoors is transformative. Science has proven it changes our brains for the better. When we’re out there, our stress goes down, our empathy goes up, we become more creative, and feel happier. Nature makes us open, free, and fun. Who doesn’t want to be that? Out there is the only place in the world that changes the way you see the world. Trust us, we’d know. We’ve been here for over 30 years.
