Sherpa Adventure Gear, the socially-conscious company specializing in technical travel apparel, is excited to announce its partnership with Groundswell PR. Groundswell will implement an integrated communications strategy, increasing consumer awareness around Sherpa’s innovative product lines and social initiatives that positively impact the Nepalese community.

In 2003, Sherpa Adventure Gear was founded as a living memorial to the unsung heroes of Mount Everest—the Sherpas. Sherpa Adventure Gear seeks to honor the legendary high-altitude climbers by creating adventure gear that earns their praises. The brand is focused on providing economic and social stability to the people of Nepal through steady employment and quality working conditions. In 2018, the brand created jobs for more than 1,500 people in Nepal, an increase of close to 75% compared to the previous year.

The Sherpa Adventure Gear Fund was created to provide educational opportunities for future generations, a core component of Sherpa’s mission. The fund provides a brighter future to the children of Nepal through empowerment and education. For every product sold, a donation is made to grant scholarships in the fund, providing resources for the children of the community.

Currently Sherpa is providing 12 children with scholarships and will continue to support these students through their college education.

“We’re passionate about partnering with brands that are making a positive impact on the planet and its people,” says Groundswell PR Co-Owner Caroline Kelm. “Sherpa goes above and beyond to make this world a better place through their giveback program to the Nepalese community and by using sustainable materials. We are honored to work with such a conscious company.”

Sherpa Adventure Gear’s technical travel apparel is crafted using innovative, sustainable technologies to create purposeful gear for the global adventurer. The 2019 Fall/Winter line launches September 5, 2019. The brand’s upcoming Spring/Summer 2020 line will be focused on versatile travel pieces that exceed high-durability standards with low environmental impact. Be on the lookout for the all new Kiran collection which will feature a hemp blend that combines an incredibly soft hand with one of the world’s most durable, sustainable textiles.
