For 30 years, we have designed our gear to take on the rugged landscapes of our homeland and to outfit the adventurous spirit of our people. With Kiwi ingenuity, and an open mind, we continuously adapt our gear to endure different weather conditions, diverse terrains, and the everchanging needs of travellers. We act with people and the planet in mind from the creative minds of our designers, to the careful hands of our suppliers, to the backs of our customers all around the world. We believe that adventure begins when you pack your bag. We are Kathmandu. ORIGINAL. SUSTAINABLE. ENGINEERED. ADAPTIVE. These four principles are the foundation of every piece that carries the Kathmandu logo. They re the basis of the questions we ask ourselves throughout the design and manufacturing process. We continue to engineer, evolve and reengineer solutions to give our customers the best experience. With industry-leading fabrics and clever design features, we ve proven our care for craft and originality. If we can t find the technology to make something, we ll invent it. And we re proud that we see every challenge and solution through the lens of sustainability responsible innovation is never an afterthought. Through in-house prototyping, we re constantly testing our gear to make sure it s adaptive. Being adaptive is about the ability to do more than one thing, to adjust when required, to excel in multiple environments, and to listen to the ever-changing needs of our customers ultimately, making travel and adventure more enjoyable. 4 DESIGNED FOR THE ELEMENTS 12 TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE 26 IS A LIFESTYLE 2 30 ACHIEVE THE EXTRAORDINARY

8 TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE OUR MOST ADAPTIVE PACK. BEST CHECK-IN LUGGAGE carryology.com Terrane Adapt Pack Kathmandu has always made versatile hybrid trolley bags that can be worn as backpacks, but a few years ago we asked ourselves: can we reverse the challenge an adventure travel backpack that's also got wheels? We asked the question: if you can pull a handle out, why can't you pull a wheel set out? says Kathmandu Product Designer Blake Richardson. The first prototype, nicknamed Frankenstein, set out to test this idea. Two trolley handles were literally cobbled together welded, riveted, screwed and glued. I made the first prototype, dragged it around the car park, poured sand and gravel in it, curbed it, all with 30kg in the bag and it seemed to handle it fairly well. The next step was more prototyping and testing. It s taken two years of revisions and prototypes to get from Frankenstein to the launch of the Terrane Adapt Pack. The final wheel system is so innovative, it s a world-first a patent is pending. The pull-out system means the pack can accommodate our top-end C3 travel and hiking harness system, or our womensfit harness, specifically made for women. The whole design ethos is that you fluff around less with your pack and spend more time adventuring, says Blake. It's designed to grasp every opportunity. There's no excuses that you don't have the right gear. It's a flagship piece for the adapt message, says Blake. The whole purpose of its creation was because there was the need for a travel bag to adapt. 70L. WORLD-FIRST ADAPTIVE WHEEL TECHNOLOGY Patent-pending retractable wheel set takes this pack from trolley bag to backpack in seconds

The boot is crampon compatible and has a full leather bellows tongue to keep debris out. The carbon fibre midsole gives the boot a light, stable platform with an even flex. FULL LEATHER UPPER. ngx LINER: WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE. CRAMPON COMPATIBLE days in development It s the final piece in the puzzle for the XT Series. An Italian-made, three-season mountaineering boot that s taken 1000 days to perfect. Simon Pease is Kathmandu's Senior Footwear Product Manager. He's been involved in the footwear industry for 20 years and says the Fitzgerald boot is the boot he's wanted to create for a long time. We've been working on this idea for five years, but it's been in serious development for 1000 days now. It needed to be tough to handle the rough rock and greywacke. It needed to be waterproof to handle the snow and it needed to be light enough to handle long walks, says Simon. Enter Best in Field Tester, mountaineering and ski guide and instructor Ben Corcoran, who has been part of Kathmandu's professional gear-testing program since its inception. I can honestly say I've given the Fitzgerald a thrashing. It's had a couple of hundred days use over three years and it's held together really, really well. I've worn it in the snow, in volcanoes, all over Arthur's Pass, tramping around Makarora and even caving down Howard's hole in Takaka Hill. If I was buying one boot for general New Zealand adventuring in the back country, this would be the boot I'd choose. And it is the boot I choose. So that is probably the ultimate endorsement from me
