Fairly handcrafted in Nepal

Nilgiri

Nilgiri – inspired by one of the most striking mountains in the Annapurna region. The Nilgiri Himal rises above the Kali Gandaki Valley – where wind and altitude converge and temperatures change rapidly. Between sun-warmed slopes and shady, cold passages, the terrain demands constant adaptation. The Nilgiri Jacket is designed for precisely these conditions: warm at the front, flexible at the sides, and ready for an intense pace in changing environments. A mid-layer for high-altitude trails, fast approaches, and everything in between.

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.
