Ultralight and always at hand
The ultralight Kalapathar down jacket is a reliable companion on all your mountain adventures. Compressible enough to fit into a 1L bottle, it's your constant companion—always at hand when temperatures drop. Warmth means safety in the mountains, and the Annapurna offers just that without burdening you with unnecessary weight.
Helmet compatible and weatherproof
Helmet-compatible and weatherproof: The hood can be adjusted snugly with a drawstring, and the integrated wind flap protects against drafts. A reinforced hem ensures your field of vision remains clear – even in strong winds.
PFC-free DWR coating for responsible protection
The ultra-light material feels almost weightless, lies softly on the skin and accompanies every movement with ease.
Developed for demanding alpinists who value freedom of movement
The close-fitting design maximizes heat retention, while the helmet-compatible hood provides reliable protection even in icy conditions. A sophisticated design that perfectly balances technical functionality with minimal pack size.

Kalapathar
Kalapathar means "black rock" and is a black rock ridge in the Everest region. The highest point is at 5,644 meters and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding 8,000-meter peaks. It gets cold and windy here, and you can hardly tear your eyes away from the surrounding peaks. The jacket of the same name will keep you warm even here and protect you from the elements. The Kalapathar is the jacket that allows you to brave the icy showers and subzero temperatures. This allows the adverse conditions to fade into the background in the face of breathtaking nature.
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.
