Men's Waterproof Down Ski Jacket

I'm really loving this superb jacket. So versatile for me. I used it in Arctic Greenland for 3 weeks in April where it coped brilliantly in a few snow storms. Back home in The Highlands my main use is for wildlife photography up high in the Cairngorms. A lot of standing and sitting about. Its lovely and cosy. Rustle free which is brilliant. Like every other piece of Jottnar kit, it screams out quality. I love the well sealed cuffs, plenty of big pockets for storing binoculars, photography kit and gloves, etc. Well fitting hood, especially around the neck. When active it doesn't get too warm, wicks incredibly well. Perfect fit. Great jacket. Well done guys.

Excellent product backed up with good communication and great service

I am currently using this jacket Spring skiing in Colorado. So far, it has coped with everything thrown at it. Warm days where a down jacket might be too much when layered over a thin, short sleeved base layer with the vent zips open - no overheating, just a perfect body temperature. The day after, the temperature dropped to-7C plus wind chill on the ridge line, the Ragnarök over the Helmsdal base layer again ensured adequate warmth and protection from driving snow on the lifts but without overheating on descents.
This is a fabulous jacket and with the right layering, will perform throughout a ski season. It looks great, is well put together, sizing is spot on and above all, it works!

I’ve had a chance to take this jacket out on about 10 trips so far on resorts the Northeast US. Skiing in NE you face every type of condition imaginable, from rather nasty wind and cold to above freezing and ice/rain. This jacket has performed better than any ski jacket I’ve ever owned, in any condition I’ve worn it in. I’ve stayed dry and warm through powder days, mixed precip, stuck lifts, etc. Resort skiing is a pain in the way that layering like in the back country isn’t really feasible; no one likes riding on a lift with a pack. This jacket has pockets for everything, and filling them doesn’t bulk the jacket. It wears surprisingly slim, and the attention to detail is amazing- the zippers are like butter. The dump pocket is perfect for gloves, or keeping a nalgene or other bottle/beverage warm. I really can’t say enough about how happy I am with the purchase. I used to have to stop and head to locker/condo/car (etc) to strip or add layers at least once, sometimes twice a day. Now I can go a full day of skiing and only stop when I want some hot food.

I’m 5’9, 155lbs, athletic build. I bought a small with the intention of only wearing a base layer under it. I’ve been out as cold as -10F and been warm and toasty with a burly base layer, and as warm as 40F with a silk-weight. I know it’s a “big mountain” jacket, but honestly it performs so well and is so well made it’s become my “any mountain” jacket.

Firstly, a great looking jacket. Stylish, function, and discreet. I took this snowboarding in North East America this weekend, it was cold (-20c/-4f) and icy, or so my friends told me. I had no idea while wrapped in the Ragnarok. Buttery smooth material, great pocket placement and insulation. I wore this and the Heimdall Merino baselayer (a great bundle!) and I was as warm as if I’d stayed in bed. The fit is great, articulated enough to move well, but loose enough to layer underneath. I can’t wait to take it out again in Vermont next month. I returned a high end competitor’s jacket the moment I tried this on. Consider me converted. Folks at Jottnar have been nothing less than excellent. Can’t wait for my next piece of gear to arrive. Buy it, and you’re set for life.
