BITTER COLD. MONSOON RAINS. HURRICANE WINDS. When you’re faced with that deadly combo of cold and wet, nothing beats the weather-proof
protectiveness of hard shells. The dependable jackets and pants in this category have been field tested by our experienced Sherpa athletes in the extreme
and unpredictable storms of the Himalayan mountains: This is gear you can count on.
Resham 3-Layer Jacket \ray-shum\
Is there anyone who doesn’t need a jacket like this? Featherweight,
highly water-resistant, breathable and ultimately packable, it has
everything you need to get through an unpredictable shoulder-season
storm – and none of the extra features that bulk up the jackets
you relegate to gnarlier situations. The Resham is made of an ultralight,
3-layer bonded fabric, and all seams are sealed throughout.
It will shed water in a downpour, but it’s still breathable. When the
wind kicks up, cinch the hem down via the left side adjuster. And if
you or the temperature goes up, unzip the hand pockets – they’re
lined in mesh. The hood adjusts around the face via interior pulls –
there is nothing to slap tender skin in a headwind. A hidden adjustor
at the back of the head reduces the hood’s volume.
• Contoured cuffs have partial elastic and Velcro ® New for '11
tabs for a custom fit
• Extra-tall collar provides more face coverage when needed
• The waterproof, interior Napoleon pocket is ideal for
stowing electronic devices
• The zip sleeve pocket has welded construction
• All zippers slide home into zipper garages
Fabric: 100% nylon

Resham 3-Layer Pant \ray-shum\
These pants are an ideal choice for trekking through high peaks
during the mellower seasons. In fickle weather, combine them with
our Resham Jacket to create a breathable, fully seam-sealed,
head-to-toe, water- and windproof barrier. The highly abrasionresistant
fabric is light in weight, soft and packable, and has a
good deal of stretch so you can move freely on your way to the
top. The built-in belt adjusts so the fit is as good on day 20 as it
was on day one.
• Full-length, waterproof side-zips combine with gusseted cuffs (with Velcro ®
New for '11
closure tabs) to give you multiple venting options and easy on/off
• For comfort, the crotch is gusseted, the waist is elasticized and the knees
are articulated
• Abrasion-resistant patches keep sharp rocks and crampons from
shredding insteps

Thamel 2.5-Layer Jacket \ta-mel\

Thamel district – home to tiny artisan shops, Internet cafés and
budget accommodations. This waterproof/breathable jacket
gives you fully seam-sealed, waterproof/breathable protection
at a price to fit even the tightest of budgets. And will compress
to a size to take up almost no space in your pack.

Pertemba Pant \par-tem-bah\

most durable, fully wind- and waterproof, technical climbing pants
we make. Made of seam-sealed 3-layer fabric throughout, they are
reinforced with an additional layer of extra-durable 3-layer fabric
at the knees, shins, seat and insteps. Knees are articulated for easier
movement. Wear these pants with the Pertemba jacket for full-on
protection in any storm.
• Adjustable hook-and-loop waist and fly closures don’t feel bulky under a
harness and are easy to manipulate with gloved hands
• Extra-large Schoeller ® patches protect insteps from rocks and crampons
• Full-length side zips make for easy on/off over boots
• Hems cinch down at the ankles with drawcords to keep snow out/heat in;

under your boots

so contents won’t push into your legs
