With mountains just up the road, we’ve become real nerds for a lightweight jacket when it comes to early spring, especially when they come equipped with all the technical bells and whistles; bells and whistles which are usually accompanied by a trademark, just so you know it’s extra special. 66° North has come through with what we’ve been waiting for.

That’s why we’re pretty hyped up over some new Polartec® and Pertex® gear in the form of 66°North‘s Vatnajokull, a rugged softshell fit for battling an Icelandic Spring, which runs closer to a British Winter, and Goldwin’s All Weather silhouette, built with high-tenacity ripstop and some minimalistic Japanese flair.

Both labels are accompanied by a collection of tees and shorts, with 66° offering some of our favourite hip packs this season, and Goldwin with some ripstop and taffeta five-panel caps, fit for the trails.
