what to expect

The only UK event dedicated to heat printing and decorating outdoor apparel in 2025.

2025 marks a turning point for outdoor apparel. Customer expectations around performance, sustainability, and style are evolving rapidly — and this event will help you stay ahead of the trends and thrive. These shifts affect every business in the outdoor clothing market, from global retailers to specialist brands.

At this event we’ll explore:

What customers expect from outdoor apparel in 2025/2026.

The modern outdoor aesthetic — blending style, comfort, and performance.

Fit, tailoring and key colour palettes for outdoor clothing.

Popular customisation and decoration techniques, plus new branding trends.

The best finishes and technical looks for the year ahead.

 

We’ll also cover:

The performance materials you should be using — waterproofing, breathability, insulation, and durability.

How to design “hybrid outdoor wear” for versatility — clothing that transitions seamlessly from urban settings to outdoor adventures.

Learn how to build an outdoor apparel collection for 2025 — and how to position, market, and sell it to your customers.
