Nigel Cabourn x Eddie Bauer ‘Kara Koram’ Ripstop Parka

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.
