Sherpa Baans Tech Base Layer - 2011

The Sherpa Baans Tech Base Layer is the perfect first layer for any outdoor adventure. It wicks moisture, keeps you cool during strenuous activity, then keeps you warm when it needs to. The ultra-light, stretch fabric has bamboo charcoal embedded in its fibers to disperse sweat fast and naturally shun the microbial growth that can cause odors. Some new features of the 2011 Sherpa Adventure Gear Men's Baans Tech:

Now with contrasting side panels that show the fabric’s reverse side
Thumbholes keep sleeves in place and add warmth
Quarter-zip lets you vent core warmth as needed
Flat-locked seams are comfortable against the skin
Necks seams are reinforced with tape binding for increased durability
Bamboo is a highly renewable, quick-growing natural resource

When the wind starts to blow and the snow begins to fall as it's doing here in Southwest Montana, you're definitely going to need a warm winter hat to keep your noggin' warm. Sherpa Adventure Gear's wool winter hats have been quite popular with our customers for the past couple of years, and this year they've added some new styles that look great and provide the warmth you'd expect from hand-woven lambs wool. Wool is still as good as it gets for keeping you warm in a variety of weather conditions. Add an itch-free headband and you've got warmth and comfort to get you through the winter cold! Whether you're skiing, sledding, x-country skiing, or just walking around town, Sherpa's wool winter hats are sure to keep you cozy.

Well, just as we thought we were in the clear here in Montana, winter once again reminds us he's in charge. It's 41 degrees and rainy today, with a chance of snow tonight. You never want to keep a wool winter hat out of reach when living in the north country, and this spring has been no exception. We still have some Sherpa Adventure Gear wool flap hats available here at Powderfin, your winter flap hat store.

We have several new designs showing up this fall, all hand knit in Nepal's Kathmandu Valley by Sherpa families.

Shop Powderfin.com for warm wool winter hats to keep your noggin warm in the high country!

Sherpa Adventure Gear

We're gearing up to add more Sherpa Adventure Gear items to our spring line-up. Stay tuned for some great new base layers!

New Sherpa Wool Winter Hats

We just added some new Sherpa Wool Winter Hats to our selection of Sherpa Adventure Gear hand-knit hats on Powderfin.com.

All hats are fleece lined for itch free warmth, and are super comfy! I wear the Namche pretty much every day here in the Montana winter, and it's the warmest hat I've ever own. At around $20... Sherpa hats are a good investment to keep your dome warm.

Here's a few of the new ones...

Sherpa Adventure Gear Pema Wool Winter Hat

This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lining for keeping you warm on the ski hill, or walking the dog in town. The Sherpa Pema Wool fleece-lined wool beanie�s cable knit style is equally at home on your precious head in the Montana backcountry or on your way to the brew pub.

Sherpa Adventure Gear Nima Wool Winter Hat

This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lining for keeping you warm on the ski hill, or walking the dog in town. Enjoy warmth in style wearing this fleece-lined traditional wool hat in bold colors. The Sherpa Nima lambswool winter hat is hand-knit in Nepal, providing superior warmth and comfort.

Sherpa Adventure Gear Kungha Wool Winter Hat

The Sherpa Khunga combines the warmth of wool with stripes and contemporary style. The Khunga hat, like all Sherpa hats, has polar fleece liner for itch-free warmth. All sherpa hats are hand-crafted in Nepal, made of the finest lambs wool. Each Khunga Hat has been individually carded and knit in the valley of Kathmandu, Nepal.

Sherpa Adventure Gear

Need the perfect men's base layer... try the Sherpa Tsepun, or the Sherpa Baans. They're killer. Inexpensive, super comfortable, and effective base layers for any outdoor activity.

I recently left my Tsepun in Houston... laying across the back of a chair at a concert. Dumme. Time for a new one. Seriously, for right around $50.00, these things are a steal.

Winter in Montana, the Gear is Here!

We got a few early October wintry days here in Montana, and the groans could be heard all over the Gallatin Valley. It's not that we don't expect winter to come early, or even that we don't like winter....but a few days of sub 20 degree weather surely had us thinking... really???!!!! Because our winters last until June most of the time. After a reprieve in the weather and some gorgeous 50-65 degree days, we've shaken the initial shock of winter's arrival and we're ready for the real deal.

And it's here! It snowed about 6 inches last night in Bozeman, and it's time to settle into the snow darkness and start thinking of powder days and empty lift lines.

And with that, we have some great new gear from our friends at Sherpa Adventure Gear and Ground that will help make winter activities more fun. Staying warm and dry is the key whether on the slopes at Big Sky, walking fields for pheasant, or snowshoeing up Bee Hive Basin.

The innovative designers at Ground have come up with some great new technical apparel, so if you're looking for a new shell or insulation layer, check out the new Ground outerwear and give us a call if you have questions.

Looking for a new base layer piece? Sherpa Adventure Gear base layers are great for everyday winter wear, but also technically efficient for backcountry adventure.

We're looking forward to a great season here at Powderfin, and we hope you'll get out there and enjoy it... we will!

Sherpa Adventure Gear Gives Back

From the Sherpa Adventure Gear website:

The Sherpas are the unsung heroes of Everest…

From the early days of Sir Edmund Hillary's first successful summit, to modern mountaineers' attempts on treacherous Himalayan peaks, these incredible high-altitude climbers have been there in every step of the way—guiding, hauling food and gear, setting ropes, and rescuing sick and injured climbers.

Unfortunately even though climbers pay thousands of dollars for permits and guides, Sherpas still often live in impoverished conditions. And it is their children who suffer most when a Sherpa guide is injured or killed in a climbing accident

In order to honor their heroic feats, Sherpa Adventure Gear has partnered with Alpine Ascents to donate up to $.50 for every item sold to The Sherpa Education Fund. We are also in the process of setting up additional non-profit partnerships to benefit the health, education, and welfare of underprivileged Sherpa children.

In addition to this, Sherpa Adventure Gear employs local Sherpas in their office in Katmandu, and contract with Sherpa artisans (some of whom are their own cousins) to create the beautiful, hand knit Sherpa wool hats. Every product you buy makes a direct impact on the lives of these amazing people.

To see more of what this innovative company has to offer, be sure to browse the rest of our Sherpa Adventure Gear Clothing.
