Comments
If anyone fancies a good laugh, look up the RRP for the Jottnar Ragnarok.
And what's a "colourway?". Marketingspeak for "colour"?
I don't see the problem. PHD jackets cost as much and even more (Baffin Ventile jacket at a cool £1252 anyone?). The quality of Jottnar stuff seems just as good.
Have you ever done any extreme cold trips? I mean, I don't have a problem if people want to spend money on £5000 Yeezys or £18,000 Glenfiddich, but I think most people would put a £1200 jacket in the same category of unnecessarily expensive.
