Good For Urban Camping, Not For Everest
The brand name of the little ´coat´ and ´pants´ is Mallory and Irvine.
While trying to Google a link to the manufacturers (which I couldn´t find), I discovered that these are the names of two British explorers that disappeared in 1924 while trying to climb the not-then conquered Mount Everest.
They were George Leigh Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine.
I can´t say that I find this an inspiring or logical name for my featherlite clothes.
They are too thin to protect anyone against Everest cold.
It seems a bit of a disturbing choice for a brand name.
