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.
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.
