Maximum freedom of movement – breathable 4-way stretch
Thanks to the lightweight material, the pants fit perfectly. The stretch allows for every pull and unrestricted movement – from dynamic foot changes to static hanging on a rope. With a total weight of just 560 g, you'll barely notice them, yet they're still fully protected.
Abrasion-resistant knees – through Kevlar inserts
Strategically placed Kevlar inserts wrap around your knees and protect you from sharp edges on the rock. This keeps you agile, while the robust poly-aramid inserts provide support where it counts most.
Perfect storage and access system
Two zippered hip pockets secure your essentials without getting in the way while climbing. Additionally, the high-slung thigh pockets allow you quick access to snacks, keys, or emergency tools, even while wearing a harness.
Adaptable to the conditions
The mesh backing in the thigh pockets provides targeted ventilation in hot spots. And the zippered leg cuffs allow for adjustment to any footwear.

Phoksundo
Phoksundo – named after one of the most remote places in Nepal. In the Dolpo region, the trail leads over rocky passes, through lonely valleys, and past the turquoise lake of Phoksundo – rugged, remote, and impressive. The Phoksundo pants are made for precisely these conditions: durable, flexible, and ready for any adventure. They're your companion on trails where few others go – so you can fully concentrate on what matters: the next step.
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.
