This is a blessed jacket from the Himalayas, totally made by waste and rest material from larger brand productions. With stretch material strategically placed under the arms for greater ease of movement and a filling of recycled polyester it emulates the warming qualities of down, but adds exceptionally good performance in wet conditions. Two zippered hand warmer pockets and one chest pocket are placed on the outside of the jacket.
This jacket weighs next to nothing and is extremely packable, still offering essential protection in variable weather conditions. Perfect for hiking,
climbing and exploring the wild outdoors.
Robin Trygg is one of Swedens most well-known alpinists and the only Swede to have reached the summit of Everest from both north and south. Working and climbing mountains around the world he has collected knowledge about what is required for clothes function to work in extreme environments.
With a deep love for sustainability he now wants to find new ways to create true environmentally friendly clothing.
Instead of trying to change the fashion industry , he decided to do something about it himself.

With our background we have lived close to the Sherpas, climbing some of the world´s highest mountains together. For us it was always important to have their blessing on this. To create a greater value and to make you want to repair your clothing instead of throwing it away, all of our clothes are blessed by the high lama Lapsum. The blessed Sung-kui thread is in all of our clothes to protect you during your adventures, but also as a proof and reminder of what is important.
We do not see ourselves as a competitor to the largest brands out there. Instead we cherish everyone that not only talk, but also act for a healthy and sustainable fashion industry. We will never stop welcome new ideas and knowledge that supports our journey going forward.
You will not see our jacket in a new trendy model every season, with different colors and designs or in big sales every November. Instead we will try to keep it simple and produce jackets that work in many areas and climates using the fabrics available at
the time.
We are all in this together.
Every time you make a purchase, you are casting a vote for the world you want.
The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world.
Nearly 150 billion pieces of clothing are produced every year and 60% ends up in incinerators or landfills within a year. The fashion industry alone accounts for about 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for 20% of all global wastewater production. This isn´t something the fashion industry talks about.
We don´t know everything, and we don´t have all the answers. But we can promise you that we will always choose the most environmentally friendly road, no matter what. We won´t tell you that this jacket is good for the planet, it still comes with a cost. What we can promise is we will always do whatever we can to offer you the best option on the market.
To maintain the highest quality possible and make the jacket last for a lifetime, you need to take care of your jacket and repair it if it´s broken. In return we will choose a manufacturer with the highest knowledge and experience. With that said, we are continuously looking for new ways of making our production better.
The idea with all of our clothing is that you can use it for different seasons and purposes. During all four seasons you can use it as a midlayer and shell layer depending on the conditions.
Sung-kui , a blessed-thread, is a method of receiving protection and longevity. This special thread is consecrated by a high lama through a blessing ritual and mantra invocation. It is usually worn around the neck. The consecrated thread is believed to protect you from obstacles such as illness and negative harm. Sung-kui should be treated with respect and should not be placed underneath you, such as under your feet or to sit on. The Sung-kui comes with the jacket and is expected to possess the above powers.
