For Urban Industry, Snow Peak sits at the technical end of the Japanese outdoor labels we carry, a brand built on real metalworking heritage, and a natural fit alongside our wider curated camping and outerwear range.

Takibi Fire and Grill system: a stainless steel, modular fireplace and grill built from interchangeable components, including a detachable grill bridge and base plate, that packs flat into its own water repellent carry case and earned a Good Design Award for its engineering. Technical outerwear membranes: jackets and parkas draw on GORE-TEX and WINDSTOPPER for wind and waterproof protection, alongside Pertex weatherproof shells and Polartec Power Dry base layers for moisture management during genuine outdoor use. Considered fabric construction: ripstop weaves reinforce field jackets against tearing, herringbone patterns add durability to trousers and shirt jackets, and mercerised cotton gives t-shirts a refined,
