The important reason why Pathfinder fabrics have won awards for many years is that it has a self-developed "polar bionic technology platform", and constantly combines product concepts for design and innovation. In May 2023, Pathfinder released the "Polar Bionic Technology Platform 20", which consists of 13 TIEF fabric technologies and 5 safree outsole technologies. With the bionic inspiration of "taking from nature, using nature", by absorbing the evolutionary characteristics of natural biological form, structure, characteristics, functions, etc., combined with product concepts for R&D and design innovation, it meets the product functional needs of consumers and professional users from the inside to the outside, from head to toe, covering products including outdoor clothing, equipment, shoes, etc., to meet the needs of all climates and multiple scenarios. Over the years, Pathfinder has relied on "polar bionic technology" to continue to help China's manned spaceflight, Antarctic scientific expeditions, high-altitude climbing and other major national scientific research projects, and apply scientific and technological achievements to mass products to meet the differentiated needs of consumers.
In January, in order to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Pathfinder released the HIMEX series of Chinese ladder jackets at ISPO Beijing 2024. It is intended to inherit the spirit of extreme exploration and go to the world's extremely harsh environment with outdoor pathfinders.
