Multipurpose POWER SHIELD™ PRO Jacket
Designed and proven in Iceland since 1926
The Snæfell shell jacket is cut from Polartec Power Shield™ Pro, a fabric that is made using the world's most breathable waterproof fabric technology.
For years the outerwear industry has prioritized excessively high waterproof ratings that sacrifice the breathable performance needed during physical activity. Power Shield™ Pro provides the strength and durability of a weather protective fabric, while still allowing dynamic air exchange and comfortable full range of motion.
Partially made from plant based and non-PFAS materials, Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro withstands 20.000mm of water and windproof with exceptional breathability.
Power Shield™ Pro is just as breathable as it is waterproof: matching its 20,000+mm hydrostatic pressure 1 with 20,000+ g/m2/24h breathability.
Perfect for layering
Snæfell has a classic fit, with enough room for a mid-layer or light insulated jacket underneath and has an elongated back. Those between sizes should, therefore, order a size down.
The design of the jacket features a reduced amount of seams. This decreases the risk of water breaking through, improves the fit, and minimizes waste of fabric.
The jacket has a backpack compatible articulated fit for maximum mobility and is well suited for light to midrange layering. Additionally, the shell hood is fully adjustable with a built in visor and hidden cord lock system. It has a two-way front zipper, two hand pockets and a pass pocket on the left sleeve.
All the zippers are made by YKK Aquaguard with glove-compatible webbing pullers, making it easier to use. The body hem has an elastic cord and stoppers to keep out snow and cold air. Within the jacket are zipped security pockets for moisture sensitive items. The Snæfell jacket is in another class for those who demand protection and functionality in a wide range of outdoor activities and are conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases.

Care for your Snæfell and it will last a lifetime
The breathability performance of the jacket is attributed to the millions of open pores engineered into the fabric’s membrane. To keep it optimal it needs to be maintained.
It is strongly recommended to wash the Snæfell jacket regularly in order to maintain the jacket's qualities as regular washing helps to remove body oils and other chemicals that can harm the jacket's Durable Water Repellency (DWR).
Machine wash at 30°C on a delicate program. Use liquid detergent, not powder detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or dry clean. Close all zippers before washing. Hang dry or tumble dry on low temperature.
For casual use, washing once a month is recommended, but for heavy-duty use, every two weeks is recommended.
