Nima (“nee-ma”) is a Tibetan name meaning ‘the sun’. But, as we all know, the sun doesn’t always shine – and even when it does, if you’re heading into the great outdoors, it’s always a good idea to take a waterproof jacket, just in case. But you don’t want a heavy and bulky shell that’s going to be awkward to carry or take up most of the space in your daysack. Weighing in at under 300g, this jacket from Sherpa is the ideal solution. Light and packable, it offers ample rain protection when called upon, with a 2.5-layer waterproof-breathable fabric made from recycled polyester, plus an adjustable hood and taped seams. The double-ripstop shell offers impressive durability, and the jacket has plenty of ventilation options too, including twin mesh-lined hand pockets and under-arm pit zips.

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.
