KARHU just announced a special outdoor- themed collaboration with Hiroshi Nozawa’s Japanese label norbit. Inspired by the concept of “HIKING”, this exciting new project features an updated colour and material construction of the Fusion XC, KARHU’s functional all-weather silhouette, along with a water repellent shell and pant combo in two different colourways from norbit. norbit has selected a colour palette for the Fusion XC that is slightly lighter than either of the shell/pant combinations yet is designed to match with either in perfect balance.

The all-around apparel capsule designed by norbit features a nano water-repellent appliedto wide tapered pants with a soft-shell base and salt shrink nylon for reinforcement. norbit’ssignature hip and knee patches adorn each pant offering a hint of style and functionality.Likewise, KARHU’s Fusion XC utilizes a HydroGuard® waterproof membrane to keep feetwarm and dry even in extreme conditions.
