Every summit tells a story, and Nimsdai Purja's 57th G2 summit is another remarkable chapter in a career defined by pushing the limits of human performance.
At the Nimsdai Store, we believe that success in the world's highest mountains starts long before the climb begins. It starts with preparation, experience, and equipment that performs when every step counts. Every piece in the Nimsdai collection is designed by Nimsdai Purja and engineered for one purpose: to deliver uncompromising performance in the world's most demanding mountain environments.
The Kit Behind Nimsdai's 57th 8000m Climb
Nimsdai Summit Suit: Built for extreme altitude, the Summit Suit delivers exceptional warmth and protection in the most unforgiving conditions. Using the new 850FP hydrophobic goose down and built with highly weather resistant fabric, the Nimsdai Summit Suit can withstand anything the Big Mountains throw at you - it has integrated RECCO® Technology, designed to aid rescue services when locating people in an emergency via the integrated chip; helping climbers stay focused when temperatures plummet and the elements push every limit.
Heated Phantom 8000 Summit Boots: The Nimsdai Phantom 8000 Boots provide the insulation, stability, and technical precision required for climbing above 8,000 metres. Trusted on some of the world's highest peaks, they're engineered for confidence where every foothold matters. Developed with input from Nimsdai Purja as part of SCARPA's research and development programme, they feature the first integrated THERM-IC® heating system, 100% waterproof construction, and RECCO® rescue technology. An adjustable gaiter, Fast Lock closure, and Velcro fast strap ensure a secure fit and keep snow out.
Trekking Trousers: For the approach, the trekking trouser is designed for versatility and comfort on or off the mountain. Crafted from a highly breathable, lightweight, 70D nylon 4-way stretch fabric, it repels light rain and wind, keeping you moving through unpredictable weather, steep ascents, and long distances. The regular fit and streamlined silhouette offer a clean, modern look with the freedom to move naturally, whether outdoor hiking or heading into town.
"When you're climbing above 8,000 metres, your gear isn't just equipment, it's your lifeline.”
Hooded Baselayer: The Hooded Baselayer is the foundation of Nimsdai's layering system, engineered to regulate body temperature, wick away moisture, and provide lightweight warmth in demanding alpine conditions. The integrated hood adds extra protection against wind and cold, making it an essential layer for high-altitude expeditions where comfort and performance are critical. It features a long chest zip for ventilation, thumb loops and a hood and face covering. With an extra-long back skirting, this prevents packs from chaffing against the skin.
Polartec Summit Leggings: Engineered for versatility, these tights are designed to layer seamlessly under hardshell pants for mountaineering or skiing, yet perform just as well on their own for hiking. Crafted from Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro, the premium fleece fabric delivers exceptional warmth, breathability, and stretch while resisting wear over time. The ergonomic fit and elastic waistband ensure all-day comfort, making them a durable, high-performance essential for extreme cold and demanding conditions.
Neck Buff: Small but essential, the Neck Buff provides versatile protection against wind, snow, and biting cold at altitude. Worn around the neck, over the face, or under a helmet, it helps retain warmth while remaining lightweight and breathable, an indispensable piece of kit for changing mountain conditions.
Nimsdai says: “When you're climbing above 8,000 metres, your gear isn't just equipment, it's your lifeline. Every piece I wear, from my Summit Suit to Polartec Leggings and Neck Buff, has been designed or chosen because I trust it in the harshest conditions on Earth. I've spent my career testing gear at the highest level, and that experience goes into everything we create. When I'm on the mountain, I need complete confidence in what I'm wearing, so I can focus on the climb."
