Kathmandu has been recognised on the global stage, taking out an award at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in the US.
Outdoor Retailer is the largest global B2B trade event serving the outdoor industry, attracting visitors and exhibitors from around the world.
The show's annual Innovation Awards highlight gear, brands, shops, and programs that are improving the outdoor experience.
The Awards' 35 independent judges chose Kathmandu's NXT Level Bio Down jacket as a winner from a pool of 152 total entries.
Kathmandu GM of product Robert Fry said the brand is proud to be advancing innovation in outdoor gear.
"As a brand, Kathmandu has the goal to have 100% of our products designed, developed, and manufactured using elements of circularity principles by 2025.
"This jacket shows how deeply committed we are to this 2025 goal as we continue to change the way we look at our product and its impact on our planet; it’s the ultimate expression of passion, dedication, and skill used with the sole intention to make the world a better place," he said.
The NXT Level Bio Down jacket is set to launch to the market in April this year.
Other winners included Icebreaker, Eddie Bauer and PACT Outdoors.
