Despite closing several bricks-and-mortar stores in the UK last year, Kathmandu remains confident of its potential for international growth. The outdoor apparel and equipment brand has ramped up its presence at European trade shows and reached agreements to trial products in two major sporting chains, GO Outdoors in the UK and SportScheck in Germany.

Kathmandu clothing, including down and fleece jackets, and backpacks are already available online at SportScheck, the largest sports retailer in Germany and part of the Otto Group, one of the biggest e-commerce companies in the world. Similar products will appear on the GO Outdoors website in the next few weeks. The trials have been timed to coincide with the Northern Hemisphere winter.
