Mishmi Takin is an international footwear and outerwear company designing high performance boots and hard and soft shell jackets, optimized for the rigors of wet environments. Since the products breathe better in extremely challenging, rainy and humid tropical environments, they are able to outperform in other more temperate and dry environments as well. The company merges the exuberant style of the tropics with high performance technologies to create products that are at home both in the mountains and city. Its products are ideal for adventure travel, hiking, mountaineering and urban exploration. The company grew out of Founder, and MIT graduate, Kapil Dev Singh’s experiences working and hiking in his native India and Liberia, West Africa. While delivering medicines to remote villages in West Africa and Eastern Himalayas, he realized he couldn’t find boots or outerwear that worked properly in high humidity conditions. After multiple soggy and slippery experiences, he saw an opportunity to create ultra-breathable performance hiking boots designed to outperform in wet & humid conditions - both hot & cold. Mishmi Takin also seeks to highlight the passion for life and resilience that is often found amidst adversity in the poor parts of the world and promote health and well-being in remote communities worldwide.
