According to style gurus, looking good is the key to feeling good – and this classic crew-neck sweater certainly looks the part. It combines a contemporary cut with old-school style, inspired by Himalayan adventure. With ribbed sides, collar and cuffs, and a scooped tail at the rear, it offers easy-wearing comfort plus a couple of extra little details to really set it apart. Even its name comes from this famously rugged region – Barun is a remote Himalayan valley situated at the base of Mt. Makalu, in the Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. It’s also sustainably made from a mix of recycled cotton and polyester, blended to form a soft but durable French terry fabric. And, thanks to the humanitarian mission at the heart of Sherpa Adventure Gear, every product you buy creates a better future for Nepal by providing one child with a day of school

Sherpas are the unsung heroes of Himalayan expeditions. It is the Sherpas who establish the climbers’ camps, carry the loads and set the fixed ropes to the summit. Sherpa Adventure Gear was established in 2003 to pay tribute to these high-altitude heroes. But it is more than just a brand name. This is high-quality outdoor and lifestyle clothing with authentic Himalayan heritage. The company is entirely Sherpa-owned, with firm roots in Nepal, where the overwhelming majority of its products are all designed, developed and manufactured – providing local training and employment for hundreds of people. In addition, the brand is committed to educating the next generation of Nepal’s children – by building libraries and renovating classrooms, training teachers and school staff, and developing and distributing schoolbooks and resources. In fact, every bit of Sherpa gear you buy funds a school day for a child in Nepal. So, this is not just beautifully made stuff, it’s also kit with a conscience. Namaste.
