Recent purchase

I have owned lots of outer shells over the years but this takes it to the next level-a fantastic piece of kit.

You pay for what you get.

Very expensive, but worth every penny (cent). How often can you say that?

Odin - Another cracking bit of kit from Jottnar

Not been able to take this much further than around the block but the fit and the feel are great. More than capable of dealing with the West Coast weather and the zips and seals are well designed. Decent amount of room for layering meaning is gives good room for manoeuvre, sleeves are longer and broader than expected but when adding a fleece and a thermal you need the space. I'm 6'2" and just shy of 95kg and took the XL. Could possibly have fitted into a L but when layering up glad of the extra room. Looking forward to giving it a proper run out when the restrictions lift.

Excellent, with a couple of points to improve

I’ve worn the shell over down and over fleece, it breathes well and is impervious to rain or snow or sleet. It packs up well if you are in an on/off type of day. Quality typically Jottnar bomb-proof.

That said, there’s way too much material in the forearm. I’m not some gigantic MLT bootneck but I’ma reasonably fit 6’1 and 90kg and the arms have way too much space in them, which results in baggy clumps, even if the length is good for those of us with longer arms. Not ideal. I also want somewhere to get the hood out the way; the ongoing trend to leave it flapping is a pain in the ass on windy days and although I’m sure it makes the wearer look like a steely mountaineer type, it’s not practical for when you doing need it and loose fabric is annoying. The fabric is also not very quiet compared to other modern shells.

Those are minor issues though. Overall it’s a very well made, tough shell that’s worth the outlay and will keep you dry in any condition.

Excellent

The Odin is. beautifully made hardshell. I'm 6'3" and quite broad (90kg) and Large fits perfectly - even accommodates my particularly long arms. I considered other brands, which were in many cases cheaper but in the end I decided to make the investment, which I do not regret. The Odin is surprisingly light despite the weight of the material, quiet and offers excellent defence against the elements. This is a very stylish, well-made and thoughtfully designed item. This is my fifth Jottnar purchase and I am delighted with every single item so far - since lockdown I virtually live in my Hemming and it looks like new after over a year of heavy use. Incredible kit!
