Who shops at Kathmandu? 22-Mar-2012 At 1:41:35 PM maxdacat

Their recent share price drop (16% yesterday) got me thinking about this. I used to get the ocasional clothing item back in the day but now I wouldn't really bother. According to this article:

"Kathmandu's typical customer is a middle-aged man, who works for the government and drives a Subaru. They love to set out into the bush and explore, and when they do they get kitted out from top to bottom in Kathmandu gear."

I can't really see myself in that demographic....i drive a Land Rover :p

I tend to favour Arcteryx and Patagonia for fit and performance so wouldn't really touch Kathmandu stuff which seems quite expensive for what it is.
