Kathmandu is an Australian outdoor store selling puffers, rainwear, merino and fleece, plus footwear, packs, tents, sleeping bags and travel gear for women, men and kids.
Prices are in AUD and delivery covers Australia only. Saving there hinges on Out There Rewards, since members see member pricing and, at the right level, free standard delivery.
Kathmandu is B Corp certified, and its own range sits next to gear from specialist outdoor brands, so the store mixes house-made clothing with third-party footwear, stoves and freeze-dried trail food. Collections are arranged by activity, with hiking, camping, travel and snow sports sections, plus sun protection clothing and the XT Series hiking collection.
Travelers will find luggage and carry-ons, packing cells, adaptors and power banks, while families can shop child carriers and kids' outerwear. The site publishes advice articles on choosing a tent or sleeping bag, avoiding blisters and reproofing waterproof jackets, and a jacket finder helps narrow down outerwear. Kathmandu also runs physical stores alongside the online shop and sells e-Gift Cards.
