The best all-round hardshell

The Lukla is a robust 3-layer Dermizax hardshell jacket for ski touring, freeriding, and winter conditions. Waterproof, highly breathable, and durable, it offers reliable protection in storms, snow, and long ascents. The sloping shoulders ensure a versatile and comfortable fit, even when wearing a backpack or airbag. A small underarm pocket provides quick access to a ski pass or beacon. Clean, functional, and ready for any winter day, the Lukla combines alpine protection with modern style.

Thought through from the zipper to the last detail

Long ventilation zippers under the arms allow you to get rid of excess heat immediately – ideal for strenuous climbs and longer runs. All seams are fully welded, and the zippers are just as robust and waterproof as the outer material. This ensures the Lukla remains waterproof, durable, and reliable – even in truly bad weather.

Sleeve pocket for GPS beacon or ski pass

Perfectly positioned to avoid interfering with your phone, a pocket is integrated into the left sleeve. It is waterproof and perfectly positioned for quick access.

Designed for ski tourers and freeriders who need to rely on their equipment.

For long ascents, deep powder days and changeable winter weather: The Lukla provides reliable protection when it matters most – waterproof, breathable and strong enough for any freeride and ski touring adventure.

Lukla

Lukla lies at the gateway to the Everest region, where weather can change rapidly and wind and snow are part of everyday life. The Lukla is designed precisely for this: a hardshell jacket that keeps you dry when winter turns unpredictable and offers freedom of movement when you're challenged on the ascent or descent. A jacket that stays put when the weather doesn't cooperate.

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.
