We are sherpa

From the highest reaches of the Himalayas, our people lead the world in mountaineering with warmth, grace and good humor. In our humble experience, there is no better place for testing equipment—and character.

Made in Nepal. Just like us.

Saying “Made in Nepal” means the world to us—socially, economically and environmentally. Because we are Sherpa-owned and Sherpa-run, we are very pleased to report that most of our products come directly from Kathmandu. And when we go to our neighbors for help in meeting demand, we always do it with the highest quality control and share the news right on the label.

Ang Phurba Sherpa’s father was a mail runner for the British Everest expeditions in the 1950s. Now, after a lifetime in the Khumbu and many trips to the summit, Ang wisely guides our flagship store in Kathmandu.

The first thing a Sherpa packs is mindfulness.

At the start of every journey, we sit quietly and picture the path ahead. Slowly and methodically, we envision the terrain we will encounter and the extremes we will need to endure. This tells us what to pack—and what we don’t need to carry. In preparing for Spring and Summer 2013, we’ve grouped our garments into five categories. Karma Lifestyle is for casual ease in going about your daily life. Khumbu Trek serves nicely for days of lighter travel. Himal Training is for athletes who work at the highest levels. Finally, at the peak of performance, we offer the Parbat Mountain Series and elite Khangri Alpine Series. Whichever group you go with, we wish you good fortune each step of the way.

Athlete inspired, athlete driven, this line is designed by—and for—the alpinists who build their lives around climbing the world’s most challenging peaks. We regularly consult with our Sherpa athletes, and they tell us what they want, and more importantly, what they need for their climbs. Based on their input, we constantly evolve and improve this focused group of products. Made of the most technologically advanced fabrics, with construction methods and materials that are the most durable, these pieces cost a bit more, but for those whose survival depends on their gear, it’s worth it.

Kriti Tech (kree•tee tek) JacketShoulder seasons bring unpredictable weather, so when the day calls for just a little something between you and the elements, choose the Kriti. This soft-shell acts like a breathable, water- and wind-resistant second skin. The fabric is stretchy and soft, and the fit is meant to be close, so there’s no flap or drag to slow you down. Elbows are articulated to refine the fit, and center front zip is asymmetrical from chest to chin for comfort.

•Pockets (two front hand and one upper chest) zip closed

•Adjustable drawcord at hem

•Pop-color at chest zip and select stitch details

Ladakh (luh•dhak) JacketWhen it comes to practicing non-attachment, expect to fail when it comes to this jacket. It’s super light, incredibly warm for its weight, and so comfortable, you’ll find yourself missing it terribly when it’s laundry day.

•The jacket can be compressed and stuffed into its own chest pocket/storage sack

•Hood and hem adjusts to seal out drafts

•Cuffs have hidden thumb loops to keep sleeves in place during layering transitions

Khangri (khung•ree) Jacket“Khangri” is the Tibetan word for snowy mountains. Which is a good place to wear this jacket. A soft, polyester fleece lining is bonded to a breathable, wind- and water-repellent shell membrane to protect you from the elements. The highly breathable stretch side panels provide extra give where it’s needed the most, and help keep your core dry during active pursuits. Layer this jacket under a hard shell when conditions get extra cold.

Asaar (uh•sar) 2.5-Layer Jacket new

Minimalism, performance, packability, and weight: these are the obsessions of every mountaineer. The Asaar achieves the right balance of all. Designed in collaboration with our Sherpa alpine athletes, it’s made of Pertex® Shield, a 2.5-layer laminate that’s waterproof, breathable and super light. The fit is streamlined, and the details keep in mind the “nothing-extraneous” mind-set of serious climbers. Cut long in the torso with a dropped rear hem for ample coverage while going up.

•Partial elastic cuffs eliminate the need for bulkier/heavier closures, yet expand to fit over gloves

•Pocket-free lower torso means there’s nothing to get in the way of a harness

Kalpana (kul•puh•na) Quarter-Zip TopIn Nepali, the word Kalpana means dreams.

Quiet and soft, stretchy and supple, this soft-shell feels like an integral part of your body; you won’t feel like you’re fighting with — or thinking about— your clothes. The fabric is water- and wind-resistant, yet breathable, and what’s more: it doesn’t feel cold or clammy when worn directly in contact with your skin. Contoured seam lines not only flatter your shape, they keep the fit streamlined, so there is nothing to slow you down.

Ladakh (luh•dhak) Jacket“This jacket has not seen a day in the closet since I got it,” says one product tester. Easy and adaptable, it’s the perfect year-round throw on, and can be squished into your purse or pack without crowding out everything else. Ridiculously light for how warm it is, the shell (made of recycled ripstop polyester) deflects moisture and wind. Wear it under another shell and it serves as a layer of insulation. No doubt about it: The Ladakh will be the first thing you pack for any trip.

•The jacket can be compressed and stuffed into its own chest pocket/storage sack

•Strategic quilting distributes warmth where it’s needed

•Hood and hem adjust to seal out drafts

Pumori (poo•mo•ree) JacketA classic as the Himalayan climb it’s named for, this jacket will see you through the climbing season in high-performance comfort. The 4-way stretch fabric looks—and feels—like a single layer, but it’s actually a bonded “sandwich” of elements working together: soft, warmth-retaining fleece lines the skin-side, while the flexible, breathable, water-repellent, soft-shell deflects weather outside.

Asaar (uh•sar) 2.5-Layer Jacket new

Serious mountaineers are always honing their equipment pile, editing out the stuff that’s too heavy, bulky or just not tough enough. And their clothes are no exception. Which is why we collaborated with our Sherpa athletes to make the Asaar: It is minimalistic without sacrificing the stuff that makes it a great performer in serious conditions. The Pertex® Shield, 2.5-layer laminate fabric is ultra-light, yet waterproof and breathable.

If you think of yourself as “seriously outdoorsy,” but you’re not planning on climbing Everest anytime soon, focus your attention on this category. It contains the base layers, mid layers, and shells you actually need, for the adventures most of us do, most of the time. Equipped with technical fabrics and features that will see you through your favorite endeavors in safety, comfort and style, the fit is more forgiving than that of the Khangri line.

Lakpa Rita Sherpa “Best Sirdar in the Khumbu”, is the first Sherpa to climb the highest peaks on each of the seven continents, and has summited Everest 16 times.

Baans (bawnz) TeeBamboo—“baans” in Tibetan—grows wild and fast across most of Nepal and Tibet; it’s a renewable resource. The fabric we use to make this tee has fibers saturated with bamboo charcoal. That content (25%), makes it inherently antimicrobial and odor resistant. It’s also quick-to-dry, highly breathable, and weightless. You’ll appreciate this do-it all tee—for all these reasons and more—every time you wear it.

•Absorbent, moisture-moving fabric has a weave that ventilates on hot days

•Feminine princess seaming refines the fit

Nyano (nee•ah•no) Jacket updated

Phoenix (fee•nix) Tee new

The mythical Phoenix soaring across this top is more than just pretty. It symbolizes extreme perseverance. After all, this bird is said to live 1,000 years before igniting—only to be reborn from its own ashes. Which parallels this tee’s legendary durability: Made of dri-release® fabric, its ability to wick moisture won’t ever “wear off” since it’s a factor of the fabric’s structure. It also resists pilling, wrinkles, and discoloration from perspiration.

The hills and valleys created by the knit remind us of our high-mountain roots. And the riotous medley of color will uplift you on the gloomiest of days. Hand-knit, 100% wool, lined with fleece.

Rimjhim (rim•jim) HandwarmersIt seemed a crime to throw out the perfectly good remnant yarn that results from the making of our other wool hats, so we knit them into one-of-a-kind wristlets—and fell in love with the outcome. We think you will too. Their 100% wool yarns, knit in a rich hi/low texture, keep your hands warm and your fingers dexterous.

Kenton Cool

This is Cool.

As I sit in Kathmandu, drinking tea and writing these words, an almost unbelievable reality

is staring me in the face. The Sherpa village is going global. A mere eight years ago, we had

simply hoped to convince a few US dealers to believe in our story. Now, one can find Sherpa

Adventure Gear in more than 20 countries. As of autumn 2012, that includes a mounting number

of stores in the UK, Scandinavia and mainland Europe — thanks to our new distributors,

Bradshaw Taylor. No face could better symbolize this journey than that of British mountaineer

Kenton Cool. Among his many adventures, Kenton has reached the summit of Mt. Everest ten

times, even doing it twice in one week. We’re honored that he has joined a growing circle of

Sherpa athletes to share our story as a brand ambassador. Naturally, the true heart of that story

continues to beat here in Nepal. This is, and always will be, where our products are created

with a care and passion akin to the warm, honest welcome one receives in a Sherpa home. In

that spirit, I greet you all with my heartfelt thanks for joining us on this stretch of the trek.

Tashi SherpaMember, Sherpa Adventure Gear Family

A small prayer for your well-being.

We like to use little prayer flags on the zipper pulls of our garments. Fluttering gently in the breeze as you go about your life, they help you stay in balance with the sky, wind, water and earth. A personal touch is also present in every hand-knit Sherpa hat. Every time you wear one, you support the livelihood of a Nepali family. For that we say tcho-cchey. Thank you.
