Brilliant Customer Service

Purchased these pants and the postal company lost them. Jottnar were super helpful, send a new pair with a different postal company and we’re brilliant communicators the whole way through. The pants are a great fit and great quality too!

Vanir LT mountaneering pants

Not had chance to try them out due to Lockdown but 1st impression,s top quality, well made and put together pants, fit perfect

Excellent replacement for the old Vanir Salopettes

My old NeoShell Vanirs have worn out after lots of use, these are an excellent harder wearing replacement and I have not missed the high top.

Cracking Pair of Trousers

Haven't had them too long so can't make an in depth review. The quality is top notch, the finish is top notch. They look, feel and fit great. I've had them on a few ski days and they're just excellent, super tough yet light weight. Had them in the Cairngorms mountaineering last week during the storm (-23 windchill) and they held up perfectly as expected. Honestly can't say/think of anything negative nor that i would change about them. Lets hope they last for many years to come.

Vanir Lt

Outstanding hard shell pant. They are perfect for winter mountaineering and offer excellent protection from all elements. Of note I am particularly impressed by the quality and robustness of the product. I strongly recommend them to anyone- well worth the money.
