The Sherpani Rumba gets its name from the Nepalese word for a female Sherpa, the Tibetan people who live on the southern slopes of the Himalayas and expertly guide mountaineering expeditions. In the spirit of these brave, mountaineering women, the Sherpani Rumba Superlight was born.
Launched in 2003, Sherpani is the first and only outdoor leisure company dedicated to producing bags and packs exclusively for women (though you can feel free to share your Sherpani Rumba Superlight with the men in your life). Because of their focus on the needs and desires of women, the Sherpani Rumba Superlight embraces the ideals of functional simplicity. The Sherpani Rumba Superlight helps you look and feel your best, no matter where your day (and your baby) may take you.
The Sherpani Rumba Superlight is, as the name suggests, a lightweight alternative to the award-winning Sherpani Rumba. The Sherpani Rumba Superlight is considerably lighter than other frame baby carriers, weighing in at just 67 ounces (without accessories). But everything has a tradeoff; the Sherpani Rumba Superlight has slightly less volume for storage than the original Sherpani Rumba, and it comes in only one size frame.
The Sherpani Rumba Superlight includes a large mesh back pocket as well as a lower storage compartment, to stash your necessities. The Sherpani Rumba has clean and simple lines, because your life is already busy. You don't want your baby carrier to be busy, too. The Sherpani Rumba is available in black, red, blue, and green; bold, outdoor colors that balance the demands of your life with the tranquility of nature.
The makers of the Sherpani Rumba Superlight consider your baby's comfort and safety to be the highest priority, and have included stirrups that allow your baby to rest their legs, improving leg circulation. The Sherpani Rumba Superlight also has a padded foam bucket seat and sides, as well as an exclusive five point chest plate which prevents slouching and holds your baby upright and comfortable, as they enjoy the view.
The Sherpani Rumba Superlight has load lifters and stabilizer straps, and is safety rated to carry up to 55 pounds. It comfortably fits both men and women with torsos between 17" and 20", and waist sizes between 29" and 42".
The Sherpani Rumba Superlight includes a sun shade and rain cover in the same color as the pack, so a little rain (or pounding sun) doesn't have to get in the way of enjoying a hike in the woods, a stroll through the Farmer's Market, or simply a walk to the post office.
That's the goal of the Sherpani Rumba Superlight: that you never need to stop moving. The women of Sherpani believe we never stop moving and we never stop enjoying the ride.
