Elevating Outdoor Performance

Kathmandu has introduced the XT Series, a new collection designed to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts who demand greater performance, durability and versatility from their gear.

Built for more challenging environments, the XT Series combines Kathmandu’s decades of outdoor expertise with technical design features, premium materials and thoughtful innovation. The collection is engineered to support adventurers across a range of conditions, from alpine trails and multi-day missions to everyday exploration.

The XT Series has received global recognition for its approach to outdoor performance, with the XT Women’s Hybrid Octa Fleece and XT Pack both awarded prestigious ISPO Awards - one of the outdoor industry’s leading international award programs. The recognition highlights the series’ combination of technical innovation, durability and versatility, reinforcing Kathmandu’s continued focus on developing products that meet the evolving needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

The XT Series represents Kathmandu’s continued focus on creating purpose-built products that help people spend more time outdoors. Each piece has been developed with performance at its core, balancing functionality, comfort and durability while reflecting Kathmandu’s commitment to more responsible product design.

Drawing on insights from athletes, adventurers and the wider outdoor community, the range brings together advanced construction techniques and practical features designed for movement, protection and reliability in the outdoors.

The launch builds on Kathmandu’s heritage as an outdoor brand founded in New Zealand, where exploration and connection to nature have shaped the brand’s approach for more than three decades.

The XT Series is another example of Kathmandu’s Next Level strategy in action - strengthening product innovation, deepening customer connection and creating differentiated products that inspire more people to get outside.
