Klättermusen Draupner review: a tough, waterproof jacket that can tackle anything
By Leon Poultney (image credit: The Gear Loop)
No lightweight
The Draupner is a waterproof, three-layer Cutan shell jacket that weighs just 864g in a men’s medium size, yet acts like a heavyweight. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Clever details
Features-wise, it is absolutely packed to the rafters with clever little details and high-tech materials. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Built to last
Klättermusen incorporates Duracoat reinforcements to the lower arms, hips and shoulders, covering those high impact areas and ensuring it will last a lifetime. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Built to perform
All of the zips and toggles are really easy to operate with gloved hands and we never once found them jamming or getting caught. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
In the Loop
The six attachment loops on the front not only look great (properly technical) but they also work. We found ourselves looping a compass string around one. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Slight pains
Perhaps the only thing we found slightly annoying was that the adjustment toggles around the cuffs often worked their way loose during long hikes. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
Tough as old boots
It’s tough as old boots and after several months of wear in numerous conditions, we can’t see how it would ever start to give up the ghost. (image credit: The Gear Loop)
