Oboz Katabatic LT Collection

The Katabatic LT is lighter weight, more breathable, more flexible variation of the original Katabatic. It features improved upper patterning and overlays to reduce wrinkling and bunching. My role for this project included upper, tooling and materials design and initial color blocking direction.

The Katabatic collection consists of Mid, Mid GTX, Low and Low GTX styles. The Gore-Tex styles feature Invisible Fit membranes, a first for Oboz, and one of the first brands to bring a mid-cut Invisible Fit membrane to market.
