SKJOLDR – A Guide to our Exclusive Waterproof Fabric

SKJOLDR – A Guide to our Exclusive Waterproof Fabric

SKJOLDR™ is Jöttnar's proprietary windproof, waterproof, breathable fabric.

We have used Polartec NeoShell in the past and we liked it a lot. It breathes well. But the time came to develop something in-house which fulfilled our own strength, breathability and waterproofing criteria exactly, based on our own use cases and feedback from our customers.

So we developed SKJOLDR™ in the winter of 2018, our windproof, waterproof, breathable fabric.

It comes in different grades, but the membrane is the same. The membrane provides a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm. The face fabric is treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment.

A hydrostatic head (HH) rating of 20,000mm means that the membrane can withstand a water column of 20m in height. This guarantees that the membrane will not be penetrated by heavy rain.
