On January 24, 2018, ISPO Beijing, the most influential and largest industry benchmark exhibition in the Asia-Pacific sports and fashion sector and a barometer for the development of China’s sports fashion industry, kicked off at the Beijing International Convention Center. As one of the world's three major full-range climbing brands and the only full-range brand in Asia with climbing equipment, KAILAS presented numerous new products at the event and organized a series of exciting on-site activities, drawing considerable attention from outdoor enthusiasts.
Since its inception, KAILAS has been committed to the revolution of product lightweighting. By conducting in-depth research on materials, achieving optimal structural design, and subjecting products to countless usage tests, KAILAS aims to create items that are lighter and more durable than comparable or same-tier products. Over the past decade, KAILAS has unveiled cutting-edge climbing and outdoor products each year that showcase its technological and innovative prowess, continually setting new records in weight reduction. The brand has won multiple international professional awards, including ISPO Germany and the Outdoor Industry Award. In 2017 alone, two lightweight products were honored: the Airo Ultra-light Climbing Helmet (Silver Award at the 2017 Asia Outdoor Industry Awards) and the Dragonfly UL1P+ Ultralight Camping Tent (Industry Award at the 2017 Asia Outdoor Industry Awards). More recently, two additional products—the KAILAS Dragonfly UL2P+ Ultralight Tunnel Tent and the "Summit" Ultra-light Mountaineering Harness—were awarded the “Best Outdoor Brand Equipment of the Year” at the 2017 China Outdoor Industry Annual Selection.
KAILAS also actively organizes climbing festivals such as the KAILAS Rock Climbing Festival, KAILAS Ice Climbing Festival, and the Untouched Peaks Project, providing a platform for domestic and international climbers to exchange and improve their skills. The brand also hosts a variety of major mountain running events, such as the KAILAS Four Girls Mountain Trail Run — the only national-level mountain race with a 5000-meter-altitude snow mountain route that qualifies for UTMB points — as well as the picturesque KAILAS Moganshan Trail Race and HK100 Trail Run. Furthermore, KAILAS sponsors or is the title sponsor of numerous key national mountain running events. These efforts not only elevate the global status of Chinese trail running competitions but also enhance the brand’s professionalism through event sponsorship and product testing.
As a leader among China’s climbing and outdoor brands, KAILAS always remembers its roots in China and feels a strong responsibility to promote the development of mountaineering and rock climbing in the country. All of this is aimed at helping more people understand and fall in love with climbing.
