Last month one of our friends was wearing a nice jacket made by them. I saw some of their stuff at a local store--looks like good stuff overall and neat that it is designed and made in Nepal and/or the proceeds pay for Nepalese workers.

Some nice colors and materials.

I just pulled the trigger on some steeply discounted stuff from them on STP. I have a light softshell coming to me ($36) and a casual fleece jacket like Patagonia's "Better Sweater" series ($44). I will have to post a review. All the reviews were very good. It is sized pretty small.

Any experience with this stuff?

The former was a crazy deal. Hope it fits and works well.

Well, have used the Softshell a lot. Love it. It is very lightweight, has excellent details, looks great, works well, and is a good value. One gripe: it is pretty small in size. Other than that, thumbs up!
