Video showing Bergelmir fit, sizing and features

Anti-snag hem draw cords discourage snagging when harnesses and gear is worn; a problem encountered with traditional loop draw cords.

Streamlined, articulated cut allows layering underneath.

Large harness and rucksack compatible high chest pockets.

Triple reinforced stitching ensures the VELCRO™ will not detach from the garment. Hypalon® cuff tabs are harder wearing and longer lasting than fabric cuff tabs. The elasticated cinch provides the best possible seal against the elements.

Top Notch

Having owned several pairs of "old" fabric trousers I can happily rave about Skjoldr. Super breathable and so far has stood up to all that the Scottish weather can throw at it (which can be considerable).

The Bergelmir has been fantastic so far, excited for Scottish winter to return! Also the Red is an excellent colour

Another great product from Jottnar

I bought the Bergelmir and whilst its not been out in a heavy downpour yet (forecast is blue skies and 31oC today), I wore it over a few days in persistent rain and was very happy. Compared to my other jackets, the Bergelmir is by far, the most breathable one I own - with moderate exercise, I was completely dry on the inside which isn't always the case with some other jackets. The hood is also excellent - I wore my glasses in the rain and had zero water on the lenses due to the peak giving excellent coverage. Really happy with jacket and my wife really likes the colour (eucalyptus).

New Bergelmir

The new Skjoldr material for the Bergelmir looks bombproof! I love my Mk 1 Bergelmir, but do find it doesn’t keep all the wind out in very windy, cold conditions. My new Bergelmir looks even more robust and fits very well, a little roomier around the waist than some competitors which are usually a little snug on my midriff with layers under. This is ideal; look forward to using it when conditions merit it.
