Haglöfs Autumn 2009 Clothing

We thought you might appreciate a quick scoop look at what's new in the outdoor clothing department from Swedish brand Haglofs this autumn 2009 including some neat new Gore-Tex waterproof shell kit for both men and women.

Haglofs Spitz Q Jacket

We're massive fans of the Haglofs Spitz jacket and for this winter the women's version, the Spitz Q - hint, take the men's version of pretty much anything Haglofs makes and add a 'Q' for the women's take on it - is back in some cracking new colours, namely Ice Blue/Arctic Blue,
Black and Fire/Deep Red, all with zips in contrasting colours.


It's cut specifically to hug female lines and is - as we know from the men's Spitz- a higghley effective technical shell jacket with waterproof 2-way zip, reinforced shoulders, back and hips for pack use and and pit-zips.

Fabric is the excellent, slick-moving and lightweigh Gore-Tex Pro Shell 3-layer to give an impressively light weight of 430 grammes in medium for a fully-specced mountain jacket. So when do the boys get the neat colours eh? Hmmmph...

Haglofs Guard Q Pant

New for autumn '09 is the highly technical Guard Pant. Again it's made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell 3-layer fabric and designed as an all-rounder that can be used for walking, mountaineering or skiing.


There are useful, removable shoulder straps plus pre-formed articulated knees, leg hems reinforced with Schoeller® Keprotech®, and integrated, adjustable gaiters. And if things get a tad warm, just undo the hip-length ventilation zip to aid cooling.

The Guard Pant is also available in a men's version with exactly the same features, but a male-friendly cut.

Haglofs Gully Jacket

The new for autumn/winter 2009 Gully Jacket is part of the brand's 'Frontcountry' range and aimed at adventurous skiiers who combine their skiing with hiking and easy mountaineering. The new jacket is aimed squarely at them and features a combination of an outer fabric which is 3-layer Gore-Tex® Soft Shell for wind and snow protection combined with a largely fleece-lined interior for insulation.


Underarm pit-zips are fitted for ventilation when the going does get on the hot side and, not that we're shallow, but it does look rather sharp with contrasting main and pocket watertight zippers. Claimed weight is 790 grammes in a size large.

All the above should be in the shops in early autumn 2009, more Haglofs information at www.haglofs.se
