"Warmth-to-weight is strong, and wind resistance was a standout feature, particularly in exposed conditions on Mt Somers with gusts up to 95 km/hr."
It has already become a go-to layer for both trail use and everyday wear. Compared to similar pieces in my kit, it offers better wind protection and overall versatility.
Breathability is well balanced, making it suitable for active use rather than just static insulation.
Designed as a modular system that works together
Individual by design. Exceptional together.
Every piece of the XT Series is designed with one goal - to keep you moving. Four technically advanced layers, each with a precise role: a breathable base, an adaptive mid, insulated warmth, and full weather protection. Worn together, they form Kathmandu's most complete hiking system. Worn individually, each piece still earns its place.
LayerOne - Base Layers - Coming soon
A breathable base layer, LayerOne sits close to your skin to wick sweat, regulate warmth, and move with you.
LayerTwo - Octa Hybrid Fleece
Our versatile mid layer, sitting perfectly between base layers and shell. Soft, breathable, and built to hold warmth without holding you back.
HeatLock - Down Jacket
Warm without the bulk. HeatLock traps heat while staying breathable. Reliable from crisp mornings to cool evenings.
HydroProof - Rainwear
Fully waterproof, windproof, and seam-sealed to shield you from the storm. Breathable tech means you won't over heat when the pace picks up.
2025 ISPO Award Winner
Winner of the 2025 ISPO Award, the Hybrid Octa Fleece Jacket was recognised by the ISPO Jury, who stated: “In this well-designed product, Kathmandu combines numerous innovative solutions for greater performance and sustainability.”
