Men's Hard Shell Waterproof Mountain Jacket

I have had my Odin for a month now. The weather has been fairly reasonable during this time and I had only worn it around town which I dont think is a fair test of a product like this. Got the chance to try it properly over the last couple of days in the Peak and Lake districts. Both days wore it with a back pack, it zipped up really nicely against biting winds. The Odin was worn with a base layer both days, and a thin fleece on the first day. The jacket was very breathable, I didn't feel the need to open the pit zips at any point. Yesterday I did Striding Edge on Helvellyn which us a scrambling route if you don't know it. Inevitably I brushed up against rocks a few times and not a mark on the jacket. When it did rain intermittently I was perfectly dry inside.

I debated for some time between this and the Jormun and felt like I might get more use from the Jormun year round. In the last month or so since the temperature has dropped the thicker material of the Odin is most welcome. It clearly makes the product more durable. I like the extra touches of stiched logo's, rather than printed, and the wrist pocket on the left arm.

I ended up ordering both jackets to compare them as they aren't cheap and wanted time be sure I was buying the right thing. Customer service was absolutely spot on, Morgan was very helpful on the phone and the postage was prompt.

Really, really happy with this jacket and very highly recommend it to others. Thanks Jottnar 👍🏼

I recently purchased the Odin. I have been mulling it over a few years since my old jacket was on its last leg (Arc Teryx Alpha SV). I was looking for something that would out perform pro-shell gortex and found Jottnar had a new material people were raving about (I am not disappointed so far!). So I rolled the dice and bought the Odin. I, right off, was very impressed with the quality of the jacket, the feel of the material (not crinkly or noisy), and the fit (6'1" 185 Large) was perfect. I was fortunate to wear it in a heavy down pour for a good while (hours) and stayed completely dry. Hiking moderately I was cranking up some heat inside and remained dry. The breathability was something I had not experienced before. It was a real treat to not feel clammy and damp after a good vigorous outing. I am an avid mountaineer and skier in Colorado and am looking forward to getting outside despite the weather knowing I have a choice shell to protect me from the elements. Thanks for taking the time and efforts to make a great piece of functional gear. I love it and highly recommend this jacket to any who crave adventure despite the elements.

Purchased a couple of weeks ago but worn for the first time today. Only a stroll in the Peak District but the rain was quite bad and being August the temp was 15. The breathability of the Odin was fine - I bought this for winter walking so was pleasantly surprised how well it coped in the wet but warm conditions. I had a merino T underneath and didn't even think about opening the pit zips for the first hour. The pit zips are very long and are two way, making them quite versatile. The DWR worked a treat. Love the extra length in the arms and the articulated cut. Cut of the hood is great and the draw cords mean you can turn your head without ending up looking at the inside of the hood! Customer service is great - if you have any queries about size or compatibility with mid layers etc, just give them a shout. Only one downside (but it still gets 5 stars) - I personally like a 2 way main zip which the Odin does not have - in fact now that I've written that it feels like nit-picking!!

Great jacket and the hood and high collar suited me. It wasnt mine but id love one. Wouldnt pay the price though. Or maybe i would?!

After purchasing a number of impressive products for Jottnar. So when I was looking for a new hard shell they were my first stop. Sadly arrival coincided with lockdown. Was waiting to review till I could put it through it's proper paces with a decent multi-day in Scotland. First impressions have been great though, tough, and fit is perfect - bought it slightly large mainly for winter to go over layers as needed. Yesterday however the heavens opened and dropped a biblical amount of rain - of course I went out in it. It's performance whilst getting a serious drenching has got me even more keen, if that was possible, to get back out on the hills again and test it properly. Singularly impressive piece of kit - so far.
