The Húsavík Jacket is the most technologically advanced jacket we’ve made. This fully insulated and fully waterproof jacket looks like a smart city parka but has the performance capabilities to keep you warm in even the most northern reaches of Iceland.
Read more…Named after the whale watching capital of Iceland, the Húsavík Jacket is the definitive choice for cold weather. Made with Thindown® insulation and with our 3-layer Barricade™ technology, it’s totally wind and waterproof on the outside whilst keeping you incredibly warm on the inside.
Featuring all the style of a smart city parka but with the warmth of a fully insulated coat, the Húsavík Jacket hasn’t got a baffle in sight. The genius of Thindown® technology means you can get all the insulating power of natural down but in a thin wadded sheet. This reduces bulk and size for a superior warmth-to-weight ratio, as well providing an even distribution of warmth across the body, unlike baffles which can often lead to cold spots and fibre migration.
The reduced weight and bulk means it’s far more packable than your traditional insulated down coat, so it’s perfect for travel, and unlike most down jackets it’s machine washable, making it much easier to care for.
The tough, durable polyamide 3-layer Barricade™ system means as well as being totally warm, you’re also protected from the wind and rain, this is aided by the use of the Durable Water Repellency™ finish throughout, fully taped seams, storm cuffs and YKK Aquaguard™ zips, minimising the amount of water ingress .
The Húsavík Jacket comes with an adjustable hood with a bonded peak. It also comes with one zipped chest pocket, an internal zipped security pocket for valuables, two drop in pockets with flap and snap closure, and two zipped side pockets that are lined with microfleece to keep your hands toasty.
The fit is ideally suited for keeping the extremities warm and flattering the shape of the body, with a dropped rear hem and an adjustable hidden elasticated drawstring on the inner waistline.
Make the Húsavík Jacket your go to winter coat this season for unrivalled protection from the elements. This stylish parka is the ultimate choice for your next cold-weather travel adventure.

We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
Barricade™ is a waterproof, windproof and breathable technology that has been tested and measured to achieve a minimum initial Hydrostatic Head measure of 20,000mm and an initial Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate measure of 20,000 g/m2/24 hrs. With our 3-layer construction method, the water repellent face fabric and the waterproof-breathable membrane are bonded together with a lightweight, wicking scrim.
Extremely packable with a very high warmth-to-weight ratio, Thindown is an innovative insulation made from natural down which has been made into thin ‘sheets’ bordered with a superfine scrim. This construction eliminates the need for baffles, reducing down migration and creating a more even distribution of insulation without cold spots. Machine washable.
Our DWR ™ finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade™ technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.
Losing the odd bit or bob when you’re close to home is rarely an issue, but losing car hire keys, passport, phone or wallet becomes more important than ever in a far off land. That’s why lots of thought goes into safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.

I have never bought a garment online that I am so happy with. It is so warm but light as a feather. An absolute pleasure to put on. No big jumpers needed when wearing it. It really does live up to its glowing description. Excellent value for the money..
I agree with previous comments, an expensive item but fabulous to wear. I only have one grumble, my black jacket takes longer than 12 hours to dry, seems to become very waterlogged (outside not inside) and takes at least 24 hours to dry out. This is disappointing but still love the jacket.
I bought last seasons black jacket unseen based on the advice of a member of staff in the Exeter store. They were almost out stock everywhere but he managed to track one down for me and I have been delighted with this jacket. It is so much better in the wind and rain than any other jacket I have ever owned including more expensive Canada Goose jackets which are quite bulky in comparison.
I like the adjustable hood, that you don't need to wear multiple layers as it is very cosy and that it is smarter than most functional outdoor jackets.
I bought my usual size but you may wish to purchase the next size up if you prefer a generous rather than snug fit. You don't need to allow room for a thick fleece or jumper as you will be too warm.
I purchased this in winter 2019, the price makes it a considered purchase, but I have no regrets as it's the best all-round coat I've owned. The Thindown fabric keeps it warm, but not bulky. The parka style is fashionable, and even though I would wear walking, I didn't feel out of place wearing around the shops. I can't comment on the colour as mine is black. Thank you Rohan
