description
The 66 North Men's Snaefell Shell Jacket stands as a testament to Icelandic outdoor expertise, engineered to provide reliable protection in the world's most demanding environments. This sophisticated shell jacket takes its name from Snæfell, Iceland's legendary glacier-capped volcano, embodying the same enduring strength and resilience.
Crafted with premium waterproof and breathable fabric Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro technology, the Snaefell Shell Jacket ensures complete protection from wind and rain while maintaining excellent moisture management during high-output activities. The jacket's technical construction features fully taped seams throughout, eliminating any potential weak points where water might penetrate. The durable water repellent (DWR) coating enhances the jacket's ability to shed moisture, ensuring rain beads up and rolls off the surface even in prolonged downpours.
The ergonomic design prioritises freedom of movement, with articulated sleeves and a tailored fit that accommodates layering without restricting mobility. The adjustable storm hood provides comprehensive coverage and can be fine-tuned for optimal visibility and protection. High-placement hand pockets remain accessible even when wearing a harness or backpack, while waterproof zippers throughout ensure no moisture ingress at these critical points.
Ventilation features have been thoughtfully integrated to prevent overheating during intense activities. The jacket's lightweight construction makes it an ideal choice for fast-and-light missions where every gram counts, yet it doesn't compromise on durability. Reinforced high-wear areas ensure the jacket can withstand abrasion from backpack straps and climbing harnesses.
Additional features include adjustable hem and cuffs for a customised fit, reflective elements for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, and a compact stuff sack for easy packing. Whether you're navigating exposed ridgelines, tackling technical climbs, or simply need reliable weather protection for unpredictable conditions, the Snaefell Shell Jacket delivers the performance and protection that 66 North has perfected over decades of outfitting professionals in Iceland's unforgiving climate.
