Men's Hard Shell Waterproof Mountain Jacket

From order to delivery I was very happy and on receiving my purchases I was impressed by the quality of the presentation before I even looked closely at the Jacket.
On trying on, it fitted perfectly and the sizing chart is spot on.
The Hodr had its first test in the Lake District over a 2 day yomp around Borrowdale and the weather was unkind!! Sideways rain and wind!
The Hodr laughed it off! Out of a group of 15, I was the only dry one on the Hill, inside and outside. Excellent gear and I have to say, arguably the best gear I have worn and it performs. Very impressed.
Hoofing!!!

After my first Jottnar purchase (the Asger hybrid fleece), I was definitely interested in acquiring another one of their fantastic products.

After my current hard shell jacket gave up the ghost, I began the search for a shell that could withstanding the harshest weather conditions. I looked at a number of products from Arc'teryx, Mountain Equipment etc, however decided to invest in Jottnar's flagship waterproof coat after researching the feature set of the jacket, level of waterproofness and breathability.

After recently testing the jacket in freezing temperatures, horizontal rain, sleet and snow, I can report the Hodr performed fantastically, keeping me dry (both from external weather and internal moisture transfer when working a sweat up). Based on my own experiences, although expensive I thoughly recommend purchasing this jacket as its definitely a worthy investment which I feel will last me for years to come.

I have several Jottnar products now and can honestly say none of them have let me down. I had the Odin jacket which was the best mountain hard shell I’ve ever had. My only complaint was the pockets.
However the Hodr completely rectified this.
It’s quality is unmatched and the breathability is better than anything I’ve ever used.
I would recommend to anyone who needs reliability and performance in the mountains.

My initial impression is Wow! I've used Arcteryx for a few years now and was looking to replace my ARB so thought I'd give the Hodr a try. Timing was perfect because it was on sale so I saved about $200 (US). The quality looks great and so far have only used it once in a downpour and it kept me dry. Anyhow, I'm impressed enough to say it was worth the purchase and will give their mid-layers and other jackets a try.

I have yet to wear this jacket in extreme conditions, it fits well and is comfortable. I was surprised that the main zip wasn't a two way zip but don't believe that it is a show stopper. My primary usage will be as a hard shell layer while walking on Dartmoor in all weather conditions, that I trust this jacket will amply cope with.
