The brainchild of two ex-marines, Jöttnar was dreamt up during a military exercise in the Arctic circle where founders Tommy Kelly and Steve Howarth craved better quality clothing to battle the Arctic temperatures.
Since then Jöttnar’s mountain apparel has been worn by the brands world-class Pro-Team of skiers, climbers and BASE jumpers to conquer some of nature’s most brutal giants from Greenland, South Africa’s Table Top mountain and Yosemite Half Dome, to Mont Blanc and the Grand Canyon, to name a few.
