Matt and Jack didn’t just stumble into Kathmandu gear, they’ve lived it for over a decade.
From Kyrgyzstan peaks to local bush walks back home in Kiama, The Inspired Unemployed have always believed that nature makes everything better. So do we. That shared belief is what makes this more than a collaboration, it's why they feel like family.
The outdoors has always been their thing. Now the gear is too.
This puffer doesn’t just keep you warm, it keeps up with your mischief. Designed for the adventurer who knows life’s too short to be serious, but way too long to be cold.
Our collaboration exists to inspire a new generation to chase adventure. Whether you’re flying with the Epiq Falcon, or the Epiq Steele, get out there and experience the world.
Designed by Matt Ford and Jack Steele. Built by Kathmandu.
Epiq Steele designed by Jack
The Epiq Steele is Jack's reminder to get out there and make it count, in Wren and Black Stingray with tonal embroidery and 600-fill power down that goes wherever you do. Life is rare, dress for it.
Epiq Falcon designed by Matt
Matt didn't design a jacket; he designed a personality. The Epiq Falcon pairs mustard yellow and dark moss with 600-fill power down finished with badge trims. For the ones who take their adventures seriously and nothing else.
"I want people to feel good, I want people to feel empowered and feel themselves in it. And I want them to wear it wherever they like. Wear it adventuring, or if they're going to a party.
— Matt Ford
