A light jacket that surprises
The new Langjokull PrimaLoft jacket has hit the stores of 66°North
Just recently a new line of coats that are named Langjokull entered the stores of 66°North. These are light jackets for men and women that are filled with PrimaLoft® insulation. Last fall, 66°North became the first among Icelandic outdoor wear companies to use PrimaLoft® insulation, when jackets named Vatnajokull were introduced. The receiving that Vatnajokull got was beyond all expectations, and thus it will be interesting to see how the Langjokull jackets will fare.
The Langjokull jackets have a comfortable cut and are suitable for daily wear both at school and in the office. The jackets are light and don’t hamper movement, while the PrimaLoft® gives good insulation against cold, and is also very soft and breathes well. In addition to that, the PrimaLoft® insulation is water repellant meaning that the body is kept dry and warm despite a wet Icelandic autumn.
