Haglöfs Rando Jacket with Gore C-Knit Backer

Testing out the Rando Jacket by Haglöfs, ideal for backcountry ski touring and freeride.
We recently had the opportunity to test out the Haglöfs Rando Jacket whose cut and length make it suitable for ski touring and freeride. It has a terrific design, is comfortable and athletic, and almost seamless. Additionally, the Rando is lightweight and waterproof making it ideal for competitive ski tourers and freeriders who can''t spare a single second while racing up a peak.

As we mention in the video, there are some downsides to the jacket as nothing is perfect. The full frontal zipper works well and is thermosealed, but the zippers for the pockets have tiny teeth and can be difficult to use at times. Another potential issue for certain users is that it has a wide cut, which makes sense since it can also be used on descents and allows for more layers to be worn underneath it. However, for athletes that prefer to wear tighter, slimmer jackets, it may not be the best fit. Of course, this depends on the person''s preference but overall, it is a good garment.

The factor that makes the Rando stand out is that it is one of the first garments on the market to be manufactured with a Gore-Tex C-Knit Backer Technology, which repels water and wind without interfering with comfort. The breathable, waterproof membrane is durable and flexible, in addition to being soft and comfortable so you will be well protected from the elements and feel great at the same time.

Manufacturers are now starting to design clothing and equipment specifically for ski touring, which is great news. Generally speaking, Haglöfs clothing and gear is thoughtfully designed and first rate in every detail, and this is represented well in the lightweight, waterproof Haglöfs Rando Jacket.
