The 90s designs were originally crafted for the purpose of [winter outdoor sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kathmandus-aw25-heritage-collection) and the new designs do not stray too far, remaining seasonally appropriate but more catered towards casualwear. The warm apparel includes multi-paneling knitwear, hunter's vest, hiking boots, tactical nylon pants, and a billowy poncho. The most notable design language that all of the pieces share is the [bold color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25) -- some of the designs directly reference the brand's old campaigns including the vintage print that is drawn from its 1998 Polo Sportsman campaign adorning a [zippered fleece-lined jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wintry-athletic-apparel).
