Equipment Focus - Ghost SL 40

Nearly impervious to weather, the Ghost™ SL is designed for Arctic, Himalayan, and Antarctic expeditions. It is our most hardcore, cold temperature bag. Mountain Hardwear’s exclusive welded-baffle construction and moisture shedding Conduit™ SL shell aid insulation and wind resistance. Ghost’s roomy cut provides room for dressing / undressing, or for extra comfort when you’re waiting out a storm at base camp.

Equipment Focus - Millet/OneSport Everest

For the 6,000-8840m range

The Everest is the benchmark for high-altitude disciplines.
It has trodden the fourteen 8,000+ metre peaks, the Seven Summits and the two poles, and today equips the vast majority of expeditions to the Himalayas. New materials, such as GORE-TEX® Top Dry, have made it 10% lighter, and it achieves isothermal performance down to -60°C.



Description
- High-performance upper, insulating, waterproof, and very resistant to abrasion.
- Removable inner slipper in insulating aluminised alveolite.
- Microcellular midsole increases insulation.
- Carbon and Kevlar® inner rigidity reinforcements.
