FOR CENTURIES, SHERPAS WORE LAYERS OF HEAVY WOOL TO HANDLE THE HARSH WEATHER OF THEIR HOMELAND. But when modern adventurers arrived
in their mountainous country wearing the latest in hi-tech clothing, it didn’t take long for Sherpas to discover the benefits of a full-fledged hard shell. Made
to keep you warm and dry in the worst of the cold and rain, our hard shells utilize the best available technology, fabrics and innovative design.

whistles to keep costs down.

many summits. These technical, namesake pants are designed

your harness
