Kinetik — Hiking backpacks and equipment | Express delivery

The story of Kinetik Adrenalink

It was in 2008, in the village of Saint-Quay-Portrieux, that the Breton and high-level athlete Jean-Marie Loirat imagined technical products for trail running. It is now considered the avant-garde brand in the field, and continues to rise. The team members, all equally passionate, work daily in close collaboration with testers to develop products that are increasingly technological, comfortable, and truly reflect you.

It is the numerous technologies present in the products that make Kinetik an innovative brand. Seamless manufacturing, ultra thin and lightweight membranes, waterproofing, ventilation, and protection against wind are just a small part of the technologies used by Kinetik. We invite you to discover them all on their website.
