Feeling overwhelmed by rain jacket options? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

Key features to look out for when choosing a rain jacket.

  • Materials to look for: GORE-TEX, NGX, Pertex.
  • ⁠Pit zips for ventilation.
  • Packability - even the world's most waterproof jacket isn't ideal for hiking if it takes up your whole pack when not in use.

Gerber Multi-tools & Knives

Gerber has been a trusted name in survival and utility since 1939. The Gerber multi-tools and knives collection at Kathmandu is built for reliability, offering essential gear for hikers, campers, and adventurers. Known for their rugged construction and ergonomic design, Gerber tools are ready to perform when you need them most, whether you're setting up a tent, preparing food, or handling a backcountry emergency.

Our range includes full-size multi-tools with locking components for safety and compact folding knives perfect for everyday carry. Featuring high-grade stainless steel blades and durable handles, Gerber provides the utilitarian edge necessary for any outdoor environment.

Performance and Reliability in Every Tool

The Utility of Multi-Tools

A Gerber multi-tool is the ultimate pocket-sized workshop. These compact tools integrate multiple functions—including pliers, wire cutters, saw blades, screwdrivers, and bottle openers—into a single folding unit. This consolidation saves weight and space in your backpack while providing the capability to handle a wide range of repairs and tasks on the trail.

Safety with Locking Mechanisms

Gerber prioritises user safety. Their folding knives and many multi-tool components feature secure locking mechanisms that keep the blade or tool firmly in place during use. This prevents accidental folding, which is crucial for safe, high-leverage work in the outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are Gerber knives and tools legal to carry?

Knife and multi-tool carry laws vary significantly by state and country. Always check local regulations regarding blade length, locking mechanisms, and the difference between public and private spaces.

What is the best way to maintain a Gerber knife blade?

Keep the blade clean and dry after use. Use a dedicated knife sharpener to maintain the edge, and occasionally apply a light coat of oil to the blade and moving components to prevent corrosion.

What does the term "Everyday Carry" or EDC mean for a multi-tool?

EDC refers to a multi-tool or knife that is compact, lightweight, and versatile enough to be carried comfortably in a pocket or bag every day, ready for common daily tasks and minor emergencies.

Are all Gerber multi-tools fully stainless steel?

The functional components (blades, pliers) are typically high-grade stainless steel for durability and rust resistance. The handles and body may use stainless steel or lightweight, durable, glass-filled nylon composites.
