KATAN · Shell Jacket
Ridgeline Shell
Pre-order — the launch collection ships October 2026, in order of reservation.
Its only job is weather. It is very good at its job.
The Ridgeline Shell exists because of a jacket that failed — day four of a five-day traverse, horizontal rain, a seam we trusted let go. We spent the walk out designing this one in our heads.
Three layers, 28,000 mm of waterproofness, 145 grams per square meter. A hood that turns with your head. Cuffs you can close with gloves on. Pockets above a hipbelt, where pockets belong. There is no fourth thing — that's the point.

The material
Chosen slowly.
Explained plainly.
Every fabric in the collection was tested until something failed, then fixed until nothing did. The full story of the laminate, the merino and the canvas lives on one quiet page.

Cut for the space between — room to move, nothing to spare. Between sizes, take the smaller. Every piece is measured against the same fit blocks, so your size in one KATAN piece is your size in all of them.
Care
Wash cold, skip the softener, tumble low. Technical fabrics revive their water repellency with gentle heat. A cared-for piece outlives its owner’s ambitions — and if it ever fails, we repair it free.
