Oslo-Based Hiking Patrol Teams With Swiss Giant Mammut for Spring 2026 Capsule

Hiking Patrol, the Norwegian brand founded by Wai Tsui in 2019 in Oslo, has joined forces with Mammut, the Swiss pioneer in alpine sports, for a capsule that quietly makes the case for outdoor gear with no interest in announcing itself. First previewed to industry insiders in Paris in 2025, the collection champions quiet confidence and timeless intent over the kind of performance-obsessed branding that has cluttered the outdoor-to-streetwear pipeline for years.

The collaboration launched on March 17, 2026, and is available to purchase via Hiking Patrol and Mammut's official webshop in Europe, China, Japan, and North America. Prices start from £25 / $29 / €30.

Designed to facilitate movement in town and on the trails, the capsule comprises footwear, trousers, shorts, light outerwear, caps, backpacks, and short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts. The construction details are where the collaboration earns its keep. Organic seamlines, laser-cut perforations at the wrist and underarm for airflow, and integrated pockets within the garments do the heavy lifting aesthetically, so neither brand needs to shout. Lightweight materials support mobility while maintaining durability for hiking and travel.

Colorwise, the palette sticks to muted earth tones: brown, clay, and grey, all drawn from mountain landscapes. Branding is subtle, silhouettes are clean, and the overall aesthetic feels closer to a modern outdoor lifestyle than to a traditional alpine kit. Mammut's logo is embroidered on the back of each piece alongside co-branded labels and hangtags that distinguish the drop from Mammut's standard inline range. The effect is one of the better applications of the "you'll notice it, but only if you're looking" philosophy in recent outdoor collabs.

Hiking Patrol brings its ethos of "tools for exploration" to the partnership, while Mammut contributes its legacy of technical excellence in mountain sports. That 160-year heritage carries real weight here, not as nostalgia, but as a guarantee of construction credibility behind pieces that otherwise read as effortlessly spare. As Wai Tsui put it, "My main goal for this collaboration was that each piece serves as a thoughtful companion for the modern explorer, balancing practicality, adaptability, and style."

The irony of the pairing is not lost on anyone paying attention. Not long ago, Mammut made a bold statement in the heart of London, telling people its gear belongs in the mountains, not on city streets. Its latest release suggests a more nuanced take. This isn't entirely new territory for Mammut: its collaboration with Nigel Cabourn last year already hinted at a move towards more lifestyle-friendly design, blending heritage inspiration with technical fabrics. The Hiking Patrol capsule takes that direction further, with Mammut's CPO Paul Cosgrove framing the match plainly: "By combining Scandinavian and Swiss design sensibilities, the collection blends Mammut's technical precision with Hiking Patrol's contemporary, minimalist approach. A perfect match."

The drop focuses on how people actually use outdoor gear today, not just on remote peaks, but in parks, on walks, and during everyday life, reflecting a broader shift across the industry as more brands embrace versatility and crossover appeal. At $29 entry, it is also one of the more accessible outdoor collabs to land this season, which makes the restraint feel less like a luxury choice and more like a genuine design commitment.
