Kathmandu

Kathmandu is a New Zealand-based outdoor apparel and equipment company started in 1987 by John Pawson. The company is named after Kathmandu, Nepal, a popular destination for outdoor lovers and adventurers. Kathmandu's product line comprises a wide array of outdoor clothing and equipment for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. Their goods are built to survive harsh outdoor circumstances and are made of high-quality materials such as merino wool, Gore-Tex, and down feathers.

One of Kathmandu's signature items is the "Kathmandu Jacket," a lightweight, waterproof garment meant to protect against the elements without weighing the wearer down. Hikers, campers, and travelers from all over the world have taken to the jacket. In addition to an emphasis on high-quality products, Kathmandu is devoted to sustainability and ethical manufacturing techniques. They employ environmentally friendly materials such as recycled polyester and organic cotton, and they work closely with their suppliers to guarantee that their products are created ethically.
