Hiking Patrol has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, “Renewal In Repose” – a seasonal study in restraint, balance and the quiet changes that happen when the world gets colder. It’s the Norwegian label’s third outing as a fully fledged apparel brand, and it feels like the most confident expression yet of its so-called Quiet Outdoors philosophy: outdoor clothes that are built for the trail but don’t look out of place on the street.
The collection takes its cues from autumn’s slow shift into winter. It’s not a story of heroic summit attempts or extreme-weather bravado, but of quieter moments: the air cooling, leaves dropping, days getting shorter. Hiking Patrol translates that atmosphere into garments that are functional without being overbearing. Expect versatile silhouettes cut from weatherproof fabrics, subtle detailing in seams and fastenings, and a layering system that adapts to whatever the day decides to throw at you. The pieces aren’t trying to shout about their performance, but the articulated cuffs, adjustable hoods and reinforced construction do most of the talking anyway.
The Hiking Patrol story
This kind of design approach has become Hiking Patrol’s signature. The brand began life not as a clothing label but as an online platform – essentially a digital diary of outdoor culture, chronicling gear, style and adventure with an editor’s eye. That sensibility has carried through into the clothes. Years of partnerships with technical heavyweights like Mammut, Diemme and KEEN honed its understanding of what works in the wild. When Hiking Patrol finally stepped into making its own collections, it did so with that experience in its back pocket.
“Renewal In Repose” feels like a continuation of that trajectory. The pieces are minimal, quietly assured, built to last longer than a single season. They belong as much in the city – layered under a wool coat, worn on a morning commute – as they do on a hillside walk in the Norwegian countryside. In short, this is outerwear for people who appreciate the utility of outdoor clothing but have little interest in dressing like an Alpine guide.
