Jottnar Vanir LT RRP £300
New for 2016, based on our class leading Vanir salopette, Vanir LT (Lowered Torso) is a fully featured, men’s winter mountaineering pant constructed from proven Polartec® NeoShell®.
Jottnar Vanir LT RRP £300
With articulated and reinforced knees, two sets of swappable zip-out gaiters sized for ski and climbing boots, harness-friendly ¾ length water repellent side zips and full-sized Kevlar™ instep protectors, the Vanir LT climbing pant is already the choice of mountain rescue teams working in the harshest conditions, as well as international mountain guides and ski mountaineers. It delivers true breathability, stretch and robustness in a lightweight, versatile and fully waterproof package. Available Now.
Jottnar - Fenrir RRP £200
A hybrid, hooded, lightweight, 850 Fill Power hydrophobic micro-down jacket for use as a mid or outer layer in cold and damp conditions, featuring performance updates for 2016. Stuffed with 850 Fill Power grey goose down, with a premium 93/7 down/feather ratio for more warmth and less weight.
Jottnar - Fenrir RRP £200
Our water-repellent down, applied via nano-technology by our US based partner, stays dry 10x longer than untreated down meaning you stay warmer for longer. Unlike other versions, our water resistance does not wash out and is free of harmful fluorocarbons. A lightweight, robust rip-stop face fabric allows the down to achieve full loft and its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish resists rain. Potential wet-out zones at the cuffs, hem and collar are reinforced with 120g of synthetic insulation meaning even less fear of moisture. Highly versatile, the Fenrir hydrophobic down jacket is at home in the vertical as it is in everyday use. Available Now

Right, Nick/Natalie - which one of you two decided to use what is possibly the world's worst photo of me on the homepage?!? As if the videos aren't embarrassing enough...
Rob, you come across really well in the videos (your articles are first rate too) and your hair must be the envy of every middle aged punter on UKC, but please don't join in with the inappropriate and excessive use of the word "iconic". It's already the most abused term in marketing. Arcteryx's Atom LT is iconic, damn it Ron Hills are iconic, but something that no one has even seen yet, let alone owns or wears, cannot be so.
Point taken. I have actively avoided using buzz words such as 'game changer' and - my personal favourite - 'market disruptive' (even though it is hard to imagine anyone using the latter in a serious manner). Nonetheless, you're quite right - the word iconic should also be avoided! I'll keep you posted with the latest buzz-words after Friedrichshafen, I'm figuring that's all people want to know anyway - they always bring a smile to my face :-)
