Men's All-Mountain Goose Down Jacket

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

This jacket exceeded my expectations - warm but not bulky, stylish and comfortable.

I took the chance to give this jacket a proper test through the recent wintery conditions.

The fit is quite close so I only wear it over a baselayer , that combo is sufficient to create a very comfortable envelope of warmth.

In addition the outer fabric has proved to be windproof and the generous coating of DWR promises some resistance to light rain.

Fast becoming an all time favourite, well done Jottnar

I received my Thorne jacket just prior to a spell of very cold weather arriving in Aberdeenshire, so it was put to good use pretty much straight away. As with other Jottnar products I own, it's put together superbly and with genuine craft, the areas with synthetic fill are precisely where other down jackets I've owned have had clumping of down or wetting previously.

I run fairly warm and find that at temperatures from -7 C up to freezing in light or no wind the Thorne is perfect for moderate exercise or for standing/sitting at a camp. I'm a firm believer that one of the keys to staying warm in the outdoors is not overheating and the Thorne is proving to be a "Goldilocks" jacket - not so over-warm that it loses some versatility while being warm enough to cover a lot of bases for Scottish winter conditions.

The attention to detail is superb and the design and fit are bang-on for me (Medium jacket size and I'm 5ft 8ins, 42ins chest, 32ins waist). I was curious to see how the toughened face fabric looked and felt, and I'm impressed. It's so much more robust than any other down jacket face fabric I've used, but crucially, isn't armour plated - again a great feature and I expect this jacket to last.

At a freezing bikepacking camp with temperatures approaching minus double digits, pulling on the Thorne was instant warmth and comfort, it's truly a "daily driver".

Jottnar kit may not the cheapest, but it's a premium price for a very good reason!
