This Gore-Tex, 3-in-1 City Jacket is a versatile concept, with the outer shell Gore-Tex 3L fabric jacket and Primaloft Gold insulated inner jacket being completely removable from each other which means you can wear the inner jacket by itself on dry days.

The Svarthofoi has been designed as a city jacket that can adapt to changing conditions, for protection against the elements the outer layer is both waterproof and windproof, the Gore-Tex works hard to keep the rain out whilst at the same time allowing moisture and heat escape the jacket, helping you to keep cool and comfortable. All the seams are also taped to ensure you stay dry and to keep you out the wind, who needs a bag when the Svarthofoi has six large pockets with laser cut pocket flaps to protect your belongings, with two on the chest, and four on below, the zip pulls are all a good size which makes it easy to access your things even with big chunky gloves on.

The outer shell also has a Paclite hood that can be stored in the collar when not in use, the wrists can be adjusted to tighten up and create a seal around the arm or gloves, the body also has a good length to it which prevents drafts and helps to keep your butt dry. When fully zipped up the neck sits nice and high and with the hood stowed away it provides a snug fit around the neck and face, the inner jacket has insulating Primaloft Gold (80g) and has an attractive quilted design that works well as a stand-alone jacket on chilly but dry days. Although I quite like the two in one idea, it actually proves a heavy combination but it is lovely and warm and protective against the bad weather. As a city jacket I think the outer shell looks more like a sky jacket, but the inner jacket is much more fashionable. RRP €795
