In Iceland, you'll see this shell jacket on hikers, kayakers, bicycle commuters, skiers, festival goers, and people just going for a walk on a rainy day. Its unique multipurpose design, highly breathable yet waterproof engineering, and soft flexible fabric is why Snæfell has won the prestigious ISPO Outdoor Award and the Scandinavian Outdoor Award.
Made from Polartec NeoShell, the Snæfell shell jacket is waterproof to 10,000 mm and has an unrivaled ability to stop water and wind without restricting the release of excess body heat and vapor; and its dual adjustable swivel hood follows your movement, keeping your peripheral vision clear as you turn your head.
Snæfell has a classic fit, with enough room for a mid-layer or light insulated jacket underneath and has an elongated back. The jacket has a regular fit. Those between sizes should size down. Drawstring adjustment on hood and hem.

UKClimbing is a vibrant web site with rich content and an amazing community. So far, all we've asked of you is that you visit and interact with the site but we are in uncertain times. We need to look at ways to keep the site moving forward whilst maintaining our key aim of allowing free access to everyone to our main content. The site will continue to be mainly funded by a subtle level of outdoor-only advertising but we now need extra support to ensure we can continue to provide the UKC that we all know and love.
You can help us by becoming a UKC Supporter. This can be in a small way or in a larger package that includes discounted products from our sister-publishing company Rockfax.
