Vanir Eclipse

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.

Excellent Performance

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.

Excellent pants for any condition

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.

Vanir LT - Well made, well designed

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

Vanir

Ordered a pair of Vanir LT from Jottnar which were to big for me , my fault for not reading the sizing chart properly. I returned them and opted for a pair of Valdyr, which fitted perfectly in a size down .
I haven’t used the trousers yet , but on first inspection the quality seems excellent. I have been wanting a pair of these for sometime and I am now glad I bit the bullet and bought them . Good colour too ..
