Haglöfs Roc Mimi Hood

FIRST

As journalists, we are inundated by marketing speeches extolling the virtues of revolutionary materials used by outdoor brands. You have to know how to separate pure advertising and the genuine effectiveness. Haglöfs own material they used for the jacket’s insulation padding very quickly proved its effectiveness to such an extent we rewarded this Haglöfs Roc Mimic Hood with the FIRST Award.

While the Mimic Platinum is a synthetic product, we were blown away by its fluffiness, softness and most importantly how warm it was. Also, this material doesn’t absorb moisture, it doesn’t become smelly and it dries quickly. It’s a very notable alternative to Primaloft, and even more fluffy. The jacket also compresses. It’s a shame that Haglöfs don’t provide an integrated cover (with a little force, it can be compressed into the breast pocket). The last important element: it is light! The jacket weighs 530g in size L, excellent performance for a large down jacket.

The Haglöfs Roc Mimic Hood is soft, it doesn’t make much noise, and the insulation doesn’t slip to the bottom of the sections. Standard washing instructions and it dries quickly.

We used it for months on end for skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking. Its design is low down at the back, the collar rises high and protects the neck well. The chin doesn’t suffer any rubbing from the zip in any way. When you wear a helmet, the volume of the folded hood isn’t a problem (the padding compacts).

The outer fabric is the unbeatable Pertex Quantum, resistant to ripping and slightly water repellent.

The generously proportioned zips are easy to handle with gloves on and never get stuck. We like the cord on the central zip, it’s very practical. The side pockets are deep as are the two huge chest storage spaces.

 

The Haglöfs Roc Mimic Hood insulation jacket comes out of this test crowned with the Test4outside FIRST Award. It combines all these qualities: significant warmth, softness, quality design, indisputable head and neck protection, compressibility, and lightness. It’s a must.
