The Stüssy x Mountain Hardwear collection marks the fourth collaboration between the two California brands, bringing together technical outdoor equipment and everyday apparel. The range includes the Kor AirShell Hooded Jacket, a lightweight shell made from Pertex Quantum Air 20D ripstop that packs into its own internal pocket. Additional apparel pieces include a short-sleeve T-shirt featuring co-branded graphics and the Caelum Dome Beanie, constructed from merino wool with a microfleece ear band designed to provide insulation in varying conditions.
The collection also extends into camping equipment with a customized version of Mountain Hardwear’s Mineral King Tent. Designed to accommodate three people, the shelter includes HangTight internal stabilization, a 360-degree gear-hanging system, dual vestibules, and waterproof taped seams. Other gear includes the Camp 4 Duffle 65L, made from 420D carbonate-coated ripstop nylon with removable shoulder straps and integrated skateboard straps, and the Bishop Pass 30F Sleeping Bag.
