Surtsey Hat

Love this hat. Warm, windproof, looks good, fits. Kind of pricey. I was given this hat while in Stockholm. Wore it through a Swedish winter with no complaints. Full review

Surtsey Hat

Nice hat, but not as tough as the vikings that designed it. Internal wind barrier is a nice plus. I initially liked this hat when I first got it, but several weaknesses are evident. The internal wind barrier is VERY crinkly when new, but that worked (stretched) its way out shortly. The material is not super stretchy, and the hat is not large enough to cover my ears.

Glymur Pant

Porsmork Down Parka

Probably the lightest, warmest, cosiest and most comfortable jacket I have ever owned. Bought one whilst in Iceland as the jacket I had just didn't cut it in that cutting icy wind. Jacket is extremely well made, all stitching and taped seams are of the highest quality workmanship. Also tested this parka whilst on motorbike is torrential, driving cold, horizontal rain for hours on end and arrived home utterly warm and dry. Would recommend this garment to anyone. Full review
