Question for the Norwegians: Bergans Dermizax jacket

[Cardinal]

I have the opportunity to buy a brand new, original Bergans jacket in Norwegian camo, which features the Dermizax-technology. I haven't been able to find any good first hand info on it. Are there any Norwegians here who can help me, or even provide me with some pics? The jacket's fairly expensive, so I'd like to know how it performs before I blow out almost 300 euros on it.

Takk!

I have a civilian dermizax jacket. It is incredibly rugged, and I have been using it for three years, without any problems, and showing very little wear.

The only problem with dermizax is that it is a bit less breathable than Goretex, but it stands up to saltwater very well.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but the jacket came in today. Man, it just oozes quality. Taking it to the North Cape this summer, I'm curious how it will perform.

Looks very nice, where did you get it? Wouldn't mind one myself!

The Belgian importer ordered it straight at Bergans, you can't find this in any stores around here. Doesn't come cheap, it cost me 261.5 euros. But then, it's Bergans.

ouch €261, that gotta hurt. Still, as you put it - its bergan.

356 US $, I hope your son & grandson wear it too. Looks really solid!

Well, I went to the Werchter Rock festival wearing the jacket. I know, not really hardcore military testing, but we did have hours and hours of rain. And I can safely say that the jacket is *absolutely* waterproof. Very comfortable, adjustable hood which gives you excellent visibility.
