Product description

ALPINE HARDSHELL JACKET

Built for harsh alpine conditions, the Alpine Hardshell is a robust 3-layer shell designed to protect against rain, snow, wind and demanding mountain terrain. Its breathable waterproof construction combines durable protection with freedom of movement, making it suited for mountaineering, climbing, ski touring and high-altitude objectives.

Kevlar-reinforced shoulder areas provide additional abrasion resistance where backpacks and technical equipment create the most stress. A helmet-compatible hood, waterproof YKK dual-way zipper, underarm ventilation and adjustable hem allow the jacket to adapt quickly as conditions change.

Built as a protective outer layer for serious days in the mountains — light enough to move, tough enough to endure. Kaemp 8848

Handcraft you can feel

Workwear for the mountains. The moment when your zipper and breath click together. The world outside. You inside. Ready.

PROTECTION WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Kevlar-reinforced shoulders add protection where packs and rock take their toll. A helmet-compatible hood, waterproof YKK dual-way zipper and welded seams create a dependable barrier against the elements, while underarm ventilation lets you release heat when the pace rises.

MADE FOR THE HARDEST DAYS

From exposed ridgelines to technical climbs and winter ascents, Alpine is designed for conditions where your equipment cannot let you down. Robust, breathable and built in Nepal, a shell made to face the mountain, not simply weather it.

When the terrain gets steep and the weather turns, protection becomes everything. Alpine is built around a durable 3-layer hardshell construction that shields you from rain, snow and wind while keeping you moving through demanding terrain.

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.
