Epiq Limited Down Jacket - Limited Edition Puffer with Purpose

The jacket that started with surplus 

 

Surplus from past seasons, sitting with more to give and nowhere to go. 

 

This is where the Epiq Limited Down Jacket began. Not with a trend forecast or a design brief. With a question, what could this surplus fabric become? 

 

Where surplus met design 

 

Colour blocking isn't a new concept. But doing it with surplus fabric, letting the fabric available  shape the colourway - that's a different story entirely.  

 

The Epiq Limited Down Jacket was designed around what remained. Surplus fabrics from past Epiq production runs, brought together with seasonal shades and placed with intention into bold, graphic colour panels. Each colourway shaped entirely by the surplus fabric available. Each panel a deliberate design decision driven not by a mood board, but by the fabric itself. 

 

The result is down jacket with colour blocking with a reason behind every panel Colour because that's exactly what the surplus fabric called for - bold, purposeful and entirely unrepeatable. 

 

Built to perform. Made to last. 

 

Beneath the bold colour blocking sits everything that makes an Epiq an Epiq.  

 

At its core, the Epiq Limited Down Jacket remains a high-performance insulated jacket, built with 600-fill power down for trusted warmth, a Durable Water Repellent finish to handle whatever the season brings and Pertex Quantum Eco fabric throughout. The same trusted warmth and performance, now carrying a story that goes beyond the season. 

This is a winter jacket designed to deliver warmth, durability and versatility without losing the function people expect from Epiq. It’s a puffer jacket that still does the job, while doing something more with what already existed. 

 

The story icarries 

 

Every jacket in this limited collection carries something beyond warmth. It carries the story of a design decision rooted in purpose, the belief that good fabric deserves a future, and that circular design is strongest when it's worn, not just talked about. 

 

The same trusted Epiq warmth sits at the heart of every jacket. The same trusted Epiq durability runs through every seam. What's different is the story stitched into every panel. A story of surplus fabric given its finest form. Of bold colour blocking shaped by what remained and a limited edition down jacket that could only exist this way. 

 

Why imatters 

This isn't Kathmandu's first commitment to considered design. And it won't be the last. 

 

Surplus fabric became a starting point. Constraints became a design decision. And circular design became something you can actually wear. 

 

That’s the power of designing with purpose: a down jacket that combines performance with a more thoughtful use of materials. A jacket you can wear, own and keep, long after the season that created it has passed.
