The kit will be available in the UK now for the first time, there will no doubt be a great range at the Epicentre in Ambleside, see their website here - www.theepicentre.co.uk
To see the full range of kit available check out the Sherpa website here - www.sherpaadventuregear.com
The Sherpa range has already been well tested in the Himalayas and other parts of the world, the logo is now a common site on route to peaks throughout Nepal and is associated with quality so I'm sure its going to be great for what Scottish winter is about to through at it!
One of the aspects of this kit that really appeals to me is also the company ethos and what they do to support the Sherpa community in Nepal. They donate a percentage of every sale to various non-profit schemes supporting the Sherpa families. For example the Paldorje Education Fund.
Mission Statement from the Paldorje Education Fund....
The Paldorje Education Fund provides much-needed headstart scholarships to less fortunate Sherpa children. We are supported by Sherpa Adventure Gear and the welcome kindness of friends. In Nepal, where many children grow up in remote mountain villages deprived of basic education, it is our mission to help those in the next generation find their way to a brighter future. By doing this, we honour the dreams of our elders to make a better world.
