Born in Finland, Karhu has long celebrated a rich history rooted in love and admiration for the outdoors. As early as the 1930s, Karhu products such as hiking shoes, backpacks, tents, canoes, and paddles were prominently featured in Finnish sporting goods catalogues. This same adventurous spirit of yesteryear still guides our design process to this day as the brand-new Fusion XC looks to carry on Karhu’s proud outdoor legacy combining a unique retro aesthetic with efficient modern functionality.
