Bergelmir Men's Hard Shell Waterproof Jacket

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.

YKK® AquaGuard® VISLON® water repellent front zip and YKK® AquaGuard® water repellent chest pocket zips.

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.

Sheds snow, turns back rain, blocks wind and breathes. SKJOLDR™ is a proprietary, super tough, waterproof, breathable hard shell fabric developed by Jöttnar in conjunction with leading Japanese textile scientists and fabric mills.

Jottnar bergelmir

Being a gamekeeper and living on the west coast of Scotland lots of rain first class jacket and very good service

Bergelmir jacket

I wish to convey my thanks to all at Jottnar, especially Tommy and Morgan, for their help in resolving the problem I had with a jacked I purchased over 3 years ago. Jottnar products may be a bit more expensive than other suppliers, but in my opinion their quality and after sales service is so exceptional it is well worth the extra amount one has to pay.

Thanks again.

Bombproof

I got this as a replacement to an Arcteryx Alpha that served me well for 6 years. Primarily for winter-mountaineering / ice climbing. Sizing is excellent, slightly longer at the back. No pit zips, but I rarely used these on the Alpha. Lift pass pocket would be nice addition, but I can live without!

Far fewer seams (points of weakness) and good notably better. I also love the slightly more robust fabric (no problems with waterproofing to report). All in a no-nonsense bombproof winter shell. Very impressed!
