Started as an online platform dedicated to documenting the outdoor lifestyle category, Hiking Patrol’s next step is to permeate deeper into the physical. After a series of footwear collaborations with Keen, Mammut, and Diemme in recent years, Hiking Patrol is evolving and launching its eponymous apparel brand for Autumn Winter ‘24.

Established in Oslo, Norway in 2019 by Wai Tsui, Hiking Patrol aims to cultivate a digital space where lifestyle meets outdoor exploration. What started as a hub offering a space for like-minded individuals to connect over their shared passion for the outdoors has flourished into a multidisciplinary creative outlet that has seen Hiking Patrol collaborate with industry-leading footwear brands and create campaigns for global brands in the lifestyle and outdoor segment.

The Hiking Patrol brand is an organic and natural progression informed by an understanding of its audience’s needs. This understanding revealed the opportunity to offer simple but well-crafted technical clothing in the space of ‘Quiet Outdoors’. Merging the dynamism of city life with the sanctum provided by the outdoors, the apparel is designed for modern individuals who navigate the intersection of outdoor and city landscapes. With this community and following in mind, it has inspired Hiking Patrol to produce a diverse and accessible product offering without compromising performance or aesthetics.

The cyclic nature of life resonates with Hiking Patrol’s ethos, from the changing seasons to the perpetual cycle of birth, growth and, ultimately, death. There is a natural rhythm to life as it ebbs and flows, which is accounted for in functional clothing that prepares the individual for changing conditions and seasons. Built to a higher standard, the garments are designed to stand the test of time and transcend fleeting trends. Timeless silhouettes constructed using durable fabrics and construction methods are married with a distinct lack of logos and overt branding to provide a statement of identity independent of visible branding.
