Hervorragende Hardshell

Ich nutze die Jacke seit etwa einem Jahr sehr intensiv – sowohl als äußere Schutzschicht über der Kala Patthar Daunenjacke bei rauen Bedingungen als auch als reine Regenjacke im Alltag. In beiden Einsatzbereichen funktioniert sie absolut zuverlässig. Besonders überzeugt haben mich die durchdacht platzierten Taschen, die in der Praxis sehr funktional sind, sowie die verstärkten Schulterpartien: Während bei anderen Jacken an dieser Stelle durch Rucksackabrieb schnell die Beschichtung beschädigt wurde und Undichtigkeiten auftraten, zeigt diese Jacke bislang keinerlei Schwächen – ein klarer Qualitätsunterschied. Die wenigen zusätzlichen Gramm durch diese Verstärkungen lohnen sich auf jeden Fall. Insgesamt bleibt die Jacke dennoch leicht und gut packbar. Für mich eine klare Empfehlung – funktional und hochwertig auf absolutem Top-Niveau.

From Nepal to the world against exploitative global trade

KAEMP 8848 gear is not only high-quality, but also fairly traded globally. For a company that originates from Nepal and develops its products in the Himalayas, the preservation of the mountains and the people who live at their foot is paramount. Fair trade here means not only that workers in Kathmandu are paid fairly, but also that the company itself is based in Nepal, thus representing a counterbalance to the existing power dynamics in trade from the global South to the global North.
