In October, as a warm-up and gear test before the scheduled trip to Mount Everest this spring, Expedition Hanesbrands made its first journey to Nepal. The Hanesbrands Mount Pumori Expedition was focused on the evaluation of new and prototype Champion and Duofold apparel and outerwear. Other objectives were to build a team and work out kinks in preparation for Everest in April.
