Thorne Down Jacket

I’ve toyed with buying this jacket for a couple of years now but so glad I’ve finally taken the plunge! WOW! The moment you put it on you can feel the high quality.
It’s so warm with just a t-shirt underneath in late September. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it performs throughout winter. The masses can keep their ‘designer’ jackets, I’ve got the real deal!

Having lived most of my life in scruffy Barbour jackets, I finally plonked for a proper outdoor jacket, recommended by a family member who has a Thorne.
It’s actually going to be a while getting used to wearing something so light and warm, so far it’s amazing to not need anything more underneath that a light shirt or t-shirt. Brilliant and worth every penny. Bought direct.

I have to say I’m extremely impressed with my Thorne by Jottnar. Compared to the competition at this price bracket the quality is amazing.
The fit is correct, stows await into its bag neatly and looks really top draw.
I will be buying more Jottnar kit in the future.

Title says it all I'll definitely be buying again

As per title the jacket fits well and keeps me nice and warm. Very lightweight which is great especially if packing it up to carry. Negatives are that its not in the least showerproof. It very easily soaks water in. The other drawback is that because it has a down lining it constantly seems to shed feathers which is noticeable on dark T-shirts and jumpers. Got it at a sale price so can overlook the negatives slightly.

Bought for colder weather to pair with a t-shirt under. Has quickly become my favourite jacket. Highly recommend.

I have a Thorme down jacket and so far I've been really happy with it. Today I got caught out in the rain and was exposed for about 10-15 minutes of persistent but not overly heavy rain. I was a bit surprised to find the pockets getting quite wet and the elbow leaking and getting my arm wet within a few minutes. Now, I know this is not a waterproof jacket but I was expecting a little more resilience from the Pertex Quantum outer fabric. That being said, I am still very happy with the jacket as it performed flawlessly and was so warm and amazing on a recent ski trip with temps falling well below freezing.

Quality jacket. Warm and windproof without being too bulky. Very comfortable with a good fit and also appears to shed a light shower.

I’ve bought a few Jottnar jackets now, for myself and family. Just bought my second Thorne for myself. Beautifully fitting, and incredibly comfortable and warm in most conditions. I highly recommend it. Only suggestion for improvement would be a slightly tougher outer material, as my old Thorne didn’t survive our dogs jumping up!

Bought a new one of these to replace my very old one and the quality of the new design is a big improvement over previous versions (the old ones were already excellent). Really good fabrics used and feels very robust. I like that the company is a small British company, started and owned by veterans, and is relatively local to me.

At 5ft 10ins and 82kg I bought the medium. It’s is a great fit with room for a layer or two, but fits well with just a t-shirt on. Very comfy & warm. The hood is particularly well designed. Stuffs into a very small accompanying stuff sack. Really pleased with this purchase.

Both lightweight and packable, and also very warm. Has been tested in Scottish winter so far and holding up very well for both technical and everyday wearing. Great colour too

I’ve already reviewed my Thorne,a few reviews down, received an email today about Jottnar Down, so Ive came back to update my previous review and ask the guys at Jottner about down pants, I’m just home from 10 days in the cairngorms again, each day on the summits of Cairn Toul,the Devils Point, Ben Macdui etc,, some of the severest conditions I’ve encountered in the Uk, -12 degrees and lower in blizzard conditions, again the Thorne performance was exceptional, a base layer, my Thorne and lhotse hard shell and I was quite comfortable in some serious conditions,,, to the Jottner Team, have yous ever thought of Jottner Down Pants, the same quality as your jackets ? For the conditions I mentioned above it’s the only thing missing from my kit bag

I was hesitant to but the Thorne jacket but !! It’s better than I expected.. you can tell these guys have put the hours in figuring out what materials to use, Everything feels quality .. I had two jackets in mind this one and one other brand beginning with R@& I’m pleased I went with this one my friend has the other one and this brand feels better quality no doubts about it. Will definitely be back to buy more Jottnar products .

i already owned a Thorsen which to all intents and purposes is a hoodless Thorne , but decided i wanted the hooded version. Great warmth and very happy with the jacket - one minor niggle was that a bottom hem adjuster came loose. Jottnar offered to fix it but in truth with the weather of late i was happy to put up with it, and keep the jacket which based on its been -3, more often than not in the last couple of weeks. was fine by me. Just had a single base layer on underneath and more than snug.

Just bought my first Jöttnar jacket, Thorne, and I couldn't be happier. Fits perfectly, looks and feels quality and most importantly keeps me very warm, unlike my previous favourite brand I don't have to wear a mid - layer or wear a neck tube as it zips up snuggly to my chin. I also love the back story of the brand creators and the Norse references.
I've previously been a big fan of a rival brand from Sheffield and own various editions of all four layers but will now be switching to your brand and look forward to doing the same with you.
I'm not a soldier, an athlete or a mountaineer I'm a man in his 60's who walks every day in the Yorkshire countryside and will do so from now on wearing Jöttnar.

Managed to grab one of these in the sale. Superb quality jacket which is well made, went with a medium and the fit is spot on for me, it does what it says and protects you even with a single layer on below. The warmth from the insulation can really be felt but it never gets too hot that you become uncomfortable.

Took advantage of the sale back in may I think it was and bought for a great price, I’ve not had the chance to use it for what it was made for until last week, -8 to -9 with a wind chill of -12 in the Cairngorms, I used an eclipse base layer underneath and was quite comfortable with just the 2 layers so definitely performed in low temperatures,, I got caught out without a shell over it,in a downpour and one of the sleeves soaked through within 10 minutes where the baffles are stitched, a spray of nikwax should solve that,,, my First purchase from jottnar and I’m over the moon with quality and how it performed regardless the sleeve soaking through, that much so I’m online looking to upgrade my 8 year old ME Rupal shell with either the Asgard or the Midgard

Great jacket that looks and feels really quality. It’s really warm and works well with layers. Had mine for nearly a year now and it’s still in fantastic condition.

Top kit as always

I received my Thorn Jacket quickly without any problems.
Perfect fit, with room underneath for extra layers, not too tight. Excellent quality and very light. Can’t wait to test it out in the Lake District (my local stomping ground) when winter comes, which won’t be long in this neck of the woods.

Item received a couple of weeks ago, well pleased, well worth the money and a great company to deal with.

This jacket is light and fits nicely, very well made, can't say if it will be warm enough just yet as it is summer but I am sure it will as I had to take it off rather quickly due to the warmth but it is June. I am very happy with the jacket which I purchased in the sale, also the customer service team give excellent care if you need to contact them.

Excellent jacket. Well built with great features. I’m 6ft 13st with a 42 chest and 36 waist, the large fits just right, allowing room for layering without being too bulky.

Absolutely love this Jottnar Thorne jacket . Fits true to sizing charts , I’m 5’8’’ weight 10 stone , 42 inch chest and broad shoulders so I ordered a medium and it fits great . I already have a black Fenrir and wanted a second jacket in blue so opted for the Thorne in Eclipse colour so that I didn’t have 2 jackets exactly the same. The Thorne was definitely of interest because it has the tougher outer shell ripstock material . It has a superb cut , beautiful detailing and positioning of the zips, especially love the outer vertical breast pocket , really handy for quick access. The down filling is incredibly warm , and the hood offers great wind /rain protection. It’s not designed to be waterproof but more like showerproof which it does exceptionally well . The cuffs are elasticated perfectly, all round love this jacket ,and so light and easy to pack into its stuff bag to throw into a back pack .

The Thorne jacket is well made, light and very warm. The elasticated hood was a concern but it works very well indeed. The fit is good and, overall, I am exceptionally pleased with my purchase.

This is the best down jacket I've owned, and I am absolutely delighted with it. It is warm without being too warm, and after around a fortnight of daily use, I can't fault it. The design is just sublime, with all the extra touches, such as hydrophobic down, cuffs and so on, all contributing to the excellence of the product. My only gripe is the length it took to deliver it.

Had it over a month. Been in constant use in the Pyrenees and the Alps. Probably the warmest layer I own. Packs small enough for back country adventures, and is a fabulous colour. 5/5
