Visibility is a crucial element for staying safe in harsh alpine environments. So integrating bright colorways became a key design feature across many outdoor clothing brands. Those vibrant, eye-catching colorways seen on snowy slopes in grueling mountain climbs served a vital purpose, helping intrepid explorers to stand out in case search and rescue was required. Not to mention easily keeping tabs on fellow party members throughout expeditions. Of course, those statement colors also exuded a certain kind of fashion flair, which made its way off the slopes and onto city streets.
So when EVERGOODS were considering their winter 2024 capsule, they turned to vintage outdoor catalogs and historic photos of summit ascents for inspiration. While their gear isn’t designed to conquer the extremes of Everest, their crossover designs harness the utility of outdoor-focused performance and pair it with urban functionality and style. And Expedition Yellow salutes both these spheres.
Inspired By Mountains, Ready For Every Day
The Expedition Yellow capsule features four EVERGOODS pieces: the MOUNTAIN Panel Loader 22L, the CIVIC Access Pouch 2L, the CIVIC Access Pouch 0.5L, and the ELEMENT Flat Pouch. The shell and lining materials remain the same for the capsule collection as their standard counterparts, with the only difference being a change to the shell and trim colors.
The MPL22 is a great option for staying agile on the trail, with panel-loading access and useful but uncluttered interior and exterior organization. Add in its adaptability to move from dirt tracks to city pavements, and you have a versatile all-rounder for daily commutes and downtime adventures.
The CAP2 is an icon of organization in its own right, with a self-standing, wide-opening design that creates a mini workstation on the go. Interior pockets, an adjustable divider, and 360-degree padding make this a handy pouch for tech, camera accessories, travel items, and general EDC too.
The CAP0.5 is a nifty option if you’re seeking a smaller pouch, with a wide-opening design that lays flat like a tray for convenient access. Interior zippered pockets provide organization, while 360-degree padding protects your gear. The multifunctional design works equally well as a stationery pouch, tool pouch, tech kit, or small toiletry kit, making it a useful addition to both everyday and travel setups.
Need protection from the elements for small tech, passports, or other valuables? Look to the ELEMENT Flat Pouch. Made with a custom waterproof textile and a gas-impermeable waterproof zipper, this sleek pouch offers complete waterproof protection, whether you need to keep small outdoor essentials dry or want some added peace of mind for items in your travel bag or EDC setup.
