Customer Reviews
Bought these for days when the sky will be open and there will be nowhere to hide.
Normally im wearing soft shell trousers that will deal with some light showers and contact with some slushy snow, however there comes a point where softshell options will wet through.
I wanted a hardshell option to match my Odin Jacket, something beyond my Valen 4S, so bought these.
Been out a couple of times on rainy days and have kept warm and dry at all times. Have used the long side zips from the thigh down to act as vents when the skies cleared briefly, worked well and kept them on all day without issue with sweats/condensation.
Havent used the braces yet but these are a nice option. Kevlar instep protector and RECCO reflector are great :)
Purchased in March and used on a 5 day ski trip in Colorado. The pant performed very well against snow and trees. I'm 6 ft, 195 lbs, size Large fit me well. Internal gaiters fit perfectly over alpine ski boots and two way full length zippers made for easy venting on warmer days. Solid pant that I intend to use for many years.
This is the first time I have purchased Jottnar, I have used the Vanir LT Pant already on 4 munro trips in the Cairngorms in Scotland, lots of snow and ice, extreme wind and very cold. The Vanir LT performed flawlessly and without doubt they are the best and most robust piece of essential gear I have purchased and in my view worth the investment. The design and finish of the material is very professionally done and the material is waterproof and they also provide excellent performance keeping the chilling winds at bay, I highly recommend and would purchase Jottnar again based on my experience to date.
Awesome waterproof pants for all weather types. The build in waist band and more than ample pocket space make it extremely useful. The only thing to point out is that if you plan to use it with ski boots the bottom doesn’t always zip all the way around, but the build in gators more than remedy that situation. It’s a trade off I will take because it is excellent with normal boots/shoes.
Have purchased a few items from Jottnar and I am yet to be disappointed. Latest purchase was the Vanir LT for the odd Munro on the West Coast. Wanted something lightweight but not too light weight and these fit the bill. I'm 6'2" and a 34 inch waste and the XL are a good size. Fit comfortably over the trousers and leg zips make this a painless exercise
