Haglöfs Topp Jacket – a jacket that lives up to its name
We review the Haglöfs Topp Jacket, examining how its shell fabric, fit and practical features perform during outdoor use.
The shell layer protects the outdoor enthusiast against weather and wind. It must be durable and strong while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape to function optimally according to the layering principle. The Topp Jacket takes these properties to the extreme.
According to Haglöfs, the Topp Jacket is a high-tech jacket that is extremely durable while being very lightweight and offering maximum freedom of movement. The jacket is made from GORE-TEX® Pro Shell, one of the highest-performing materials available on the market today.
In addition to obvious features like reinforced wear surfaces and a newly designed hood that fits different helmet types, the Topp Jacket also has extra pockets suited for radio and communication equipment for mountain guides and rescue personnel. The jacket has been developed with mountain climbing and alpine activities in mind and is part of Haglöfs’ Mountaineering product concept. On the mountain, there is no room for mistakes, and you must be able to trust your equipment, even in tough terrain and varying climates with rain, snow, or strong winds. This is where the Topp Jacket truly comes into its own – a jacket that handles every challenge it faces.
In size L, the jacket weighs 420 grams and will be launched in three different colors. Among the technical details, you’ll find reinforced shoulders, sleeves, hip area, and hood, DWR-treated surface, three-way adjustable hood with reinforced front, two-way waterproof front zipper with storm flap and chin guard in micro fleece, and two chest pockets with waterproof zippers that are harness-compatible.
