 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Would people recommend Haglofs clothing? i haven't really come across them before and just wondered what quality they are comparable and if they are value for money.
thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Is it that time already?, I've just bought hubby a HAglofs jacket. Although I was initially concerned it was too big, Santa delivered it early this evening, and it is absolutely fine. Arms look a bit too long, but that can be easily remedied. Very good quality Goretex.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Top of the range Norwegian company. I have some thermal long johns by them that are everyday skiwear. Super thin but super warm. G2 outdoor (a major adventure company in the Cairngorms) use them. Not sure if they are sponsored or just love them. Good rucksacks too.

Had a Haglofs insulated jacket… the hood cinch lasted about 2 uses before coming away inside the hood rendering it useless. It was replaced with a Montane one which has been bombproof.
I think I got a bad one, but still… it's put me off buying any more haglofs stuff.
My Arc'teryx jacket which is a few years old has been indestructible.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Is it that time already?, I have a Haglofs soft shell, which is excellent. I also bought a Haglofs ski shell, but sadly that had to go back because I couldn't find a good mid layer fleece which would go underneath it, partly because armhole (ie top of sleeve) was a bit small. The jacket looked terrific, very nice cut, but with a thick fleece underneath was uncomfortable under the arms. I spent ages in Cotswold Outdoor trying all sorts of combinations but it wasn't going to happen.
But yes, they are good quality. Are they value for money? Well, they are quite expensive and I have little doubt you can get equally good performance from some cheaper brands. The jacket I bought, and sadly had to give back, was very nice but quite honestly probably wouldn't have performed any better than my existing jacket which I bought at half the price in a sale! http://www.haglofs.com/en-us/products/clothing/layers/shell-layer/women/couloir_iii_q_jacket_en-us.aspx

They're Swedish not Norwegian. Pretty expensive but very good quality. Ive got a fleece which is undoubtedly the best Ive ever owned, very smart and very well made. Next time I need a new jacket I'll probably get a Haglofs.
