If you’re planning to spend time in the kind of temperatures Sherpas endure day after day, you need more than a just a
few layers and a shell to keep you comfortable. So we asked Pema Doma Sherpa, one of two women ever to scale Everest
from both faces, to help us design a line of insulated jackets that would keep anyone warm at high elevations.
This is the result…

Women’s Thyangboche Down Sweater
Our signature piece, this feather-weight down sweater
features plush, 750-fill down lofted in an ultra-light
ripstop nylon shell. This is the down jacket you squash
down and throw in your pack for an overnighter, toss
on after a long day on the slopes, or wear while you’re
waiting for your turn on the ropes.
• A DWR coating makes the ultra-light, ripstop nylon highly
water resistant
• Two hand pockets and one internal pocket hold small items
• Light weight and compressibility make it highly packable

Women’s Thyangboche Down Vest
Named after the Thyangboche monastery, spiritual center of
the Khumbu region, this down vest would make a
wonderfully warm companion on the trek up from Namche.
Made with 650 fill power goose down, it is just a little bit
lighter than our popular Thyangboche Down Sweater. Since
it offers so much warmth for its size and weight there’s no
reason not to pack it along just in case the mercury drops.

Meera II Primaloft® Jacket
Down is without a doubt the warmest insulation you can
get for its weight and packability. But if you are at all
concerned about getting wet, take along this ultra-light,
synthetic jacket instead of a down sweater. Unlike down,
the Primaloft One insulation keeps you warm even when
it’s soaking wet.
• High compressibility makes this jacket easy to pack
• Adjustable collar and cuffs keep heat in and weather out
• A DWR coating makes the ultra-light, ripstop nylon
water resistant
• Extended tail provides maximum coverage

Meera Primaloft® Pant
Most people pack an insulated jacket when they’re headed
to glacially cold climates, but the Sherpa secret to staying
warm is insulated pants. Built to the same standards as our
Meera jacket, these low-profile, Primaloft-filled pants are
designed to keep you toasty in wet and blustery weather. If
you’re spending day after day outside in frigid temps they
are worth their weight in gold.
• Light weight compressibility for easy packing and carrying
• Full side zips let you take these pants on and off in a flash
• A DWR coating makes the ultra-light, ripstop nylon water resistant
• Articulated knees provide freedom of movement without binding

Ilam Hooded Primaloft® Jacket
Add a hood to our Meera jacket and you’ve got the
Ilam. The synthetic Primaloft One insulation has a
high warmth to volume ratio, so it keeps you cozy
without without making you feel like the Michelin
Man. Take the Meera along whether it’s cold, windy,
rainy, or all of the above—you’ll be covered.
• High compressibility makes this jacket easy to pack
• Adjustable collar and cuffs trap warmth
