Kara Koram Ripstop JacketNigel Cabourn

Description

The Kara Koram Jacket is a kindred spirit to Nigel Cabourn's legendary Everest Parka. Specially developed by Eddie Bauer in 1953 for the American expedition team's attempt at the first ever ascent of K2, the jacket exceeded all expectations. Although the expedition was doomed to become a story of tragedy and heroism, the Kara Koram Jacket was adopted as the parka of choice for US expedition teams for the next 30 years, being worn on ascents of the highest peaks in the world. 54% Cotton / 46% Nylon Blend 85% Goose Down / 15% Feather Hand Stuffed Insulation Two Front Flap Pockets with Button Fastening, Covering Side-Entry Handwarmer Pockets Tweed Lined Hood and Handwarmer Pockets Adjustable Hood, Waist and Hem with Leather Drawstring Stoppers Military-Spec RiRi M8 Two-Way Zip Closure Storm Flap with Horn Button Fastening Pop Stud Fastened Rear Loop Made in Canada
