FOR CENTURIES, SHERPAS WORE LAYERS OF HEAVY WOOL TO HANDLE THE HARSH WEATHER OF THEIR HOMELAND. But when modern adventurers arrived<br />
in their mountainous country wearing the latest in hi-tech clothing, it didn’t take long for <strong>Sherpa</strong>s to discover the benefits of a full-fledged hard shell. Made<br />
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.<br />
Thamel 2.5-Layer Jacket \ta-mel\<br />

same standards as all our shells, we’ve simply eliminated some bells and<br />
whistles to keep costs down.<br />

Niece of Tenzing Norgay and daughter of Nawang Gombu – the first<br />
man to climb Everest twice – <strong>Sherpa</strong>ni climber Rita Gombu has conquered<br />
many summits. These technical, namesake pants are designed<br />
to help you do the same. Made of a 3-layer fabric that’s burly enough<br />
for rock and ice, wind- and waterproof, and breathable too, they will<br />
handle anything you – or mother nature – throws at them.<br />

your harness<br />
• Gusseted crotch and articulated knees enhance range of motion<br />
• Full-length, separating, waterproof side-zips have double sliders for multiple<br />
venting options and easy on/off<br />
• Extra-large Schoeller ® patches protect insteps from rocks and crampons<br />
• Hems cinch down at the ankles with drawcords to keep snow out/heat in; Use<br />
the built-in tabs when you need to run cords under your boots to keep pants<br />
secure in deep snow<br />
• Zip thigh cargo pocket is pleated to expand outward so contents won’t push<br />
into your leg<br />
Fabric: 100% nylon<br />

Divya 2.5 Layer Jacket \div-ya\<br />

How many times have you been soaked from the waist down during a<br />
rainstorm? Maybe it’s time you listened to that inner voice of reason,<br />
and got yourself a Divya. Nothing beats it for staying dry when the rain<br />
comes at you sideways. And it’s so light and packable, you won’t hesitate<br />
to keep it with you everywhere you wander. The 2.5 layer laminate<br />
fabric is waterproof, breathable, and has some stretch for unhindered<br />
movement. All seams are sealed.<br />
• Articulation in the elbows, and curvaceous seamlines in the torso refine the fit<br />
• Hood has interior adjustments and a snap closure at the chin<br />
• Gusseted cuffs slide easily over gloved hands and tighten up via invisible zippers<br />
