behind the name

Kitanica is a word derived from "chitin" (pronounced Kǝi•tin), a key structural component of insect exoskeletons. Due to the overbuilt nature of our designs, we decided it best described our mission to make the most functional and durable gear possible.

Fall Essentials

Kitanica’s triple-layer system is designed to take on brutal cold head-on. When the weather hits hard and you're ready to get out there, these layers are your ultimate defense, built to keep you warm and unstoppable.
