How to Choose the Best Rain Jacket

Feeling overwhelmed by rain jacket options? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
 

Key features to look out for when choosing a rain jacket.

  • Waterproof (obviously), but do you also need a jacket that's windproof, breathable, lightweight, and durable?
  • Materials to look for: GORE-TEX, NGX, Pertex.
  • Pit zips for ventilation.
  • Packability - even the world's most waterproof jacket isn't ideal for hiking if it takes up your whole pack when not in use.

Choosing the best hiking boots

Whether you plan to trek in the mountains or explore a
nearby national park, your footwear can seriously make (or break) your
experience. To get it right, you'll need to find the perfect fit in either
boots or shoes designed specifically for your intended purpose.


Top things to consider when choosing hiking boots

  • Choose boots for your foot shape.
  • Consider hiking socks.
  • What kind of terrain will you be on?
  • How long will you be in your feet?

Asics Running Shoes & Performance Sneakers

Asics (Anima Sana In Corpore Sano – "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body") is a name synonymous with high-performance running. At Kathmandu, we focus on the Asics running shoes and performance sneakers that are best suited for the outdoor and active lifestyle, bridging the gap between road running and trail training. Known for engineering footwear with unparalleled cushioning and stability, Asics employs decades of biomechanical research in every design.

Our collection features key models renowned for their ability to provide supportive, comfortable mileage, whether you are on a pavement jog or a light bush track. Look for the famous GEL™ Technology for shock absorption, lightweight flytefoam midsoles, and guidesoles designed to improve running efficiency. For the walker and the dedicated runner, Asics offers the technical foundation you need to push your limits comfortably.

Technical Excellence in Every Asics Step

Superior Shock Absorption with GEL™ Technology

The core innovation of Asics is its signature GEL™ Technology cushioning. Strategically placed in areas of high impact (typically the heel and forefoot), this silicone-based material effectively disperses shock upon footstrike, significantly reducing impact on your joints and allowing for a smoother, more comfortable run or walk over long distances.

Finding the Right Support (Pronation)

Asics helps runners and serious walkers find the perfect shoe based on their foot type and gait (pronation). Models are built for neutral runners, overpronators (who require stability), and underpronators (who require maximum cushioning). Selecting the right support level ensures proper alignment, which is critical for injury prevention during high-mileage activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is pronation and why does it matter when choosing Asics?

Pronation is the natural inward rolling of the foot after landing. Asics designs shoes specifically for neutral, over, and under-pronation to help align your body and reduce stress on your knees and hips.

Are Asics shoes good for walking as well as running?

Yes, absolutely. The highly supportive and cushioned structure of many Asics models, like the GEL-Kayano or GEL-Cumulus, makes them one of the most popular choices for all-day walkers and anyone seeking therapeutic comfort.

How often should I replace my Asics running shoes?

Most running shoes lose cushioning and support effectiveness after 500-800 kilometers (300-500 miles). If you're a heavy walker or runner, inspect the outsole and midsole compression regularly for signs of wear.

What is the benefit of the AHAR™ outsole rubber?

AHAR™ (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is a durable rubber compound placed in critical areas of the outsole to reduce excessive wear and tear, significantly extending the life of the shoe.
