A waterproof breathable shell built a bit warmer this 3-layer GORE-TEX® shell jacket is made with a brushed poly flannel backer and built to be bombproof. Worn every way from over a tee to paired with a down midlayer this was developed for freeriding and general ski/snowboard days. On and off the slopes this is a jacket crafted to take you where you want to go in whatever weather you have to go through to get there.

Why we like it:

This is how gear should be built: with a fit that moves with you, a durability to last the ages, and the features that make it the right choice for high peak days and lift lap weekends. This is a little pure winter protection with articulated elbows, all the necessary pockets, and plenty of venting to keep you comfortable, whether you’re climbing or carving.

Features and Functions:

No matter what the weather this is the waterproof, breathable, taped seams and YKK® water-resistant zippered shell that’s going to keep you going. It’s the built-for-the-backcountry construction and durability in a shell with a flannel backer that provides an extra measure of protection when the weather is arctic, gliding over a down midlayer as you move, while being next-to-skin comfortable for the spring slushies with a tee. A helmet compatible hood, spacious harness compatible chest pocket, and a pass pocket on the shoulder… where you roam, this has got you covered.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit with articulated arms for optimal mobility and a longer cut in the back for extra protection with asymmetrical sleeves cut to protect cover your gloves for added weatherproofing.

Bottom Line:

Built for range, durability, and comfort under conditions ranging from spring slushies to arctic air the Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Men’s Jacket is an investment in ticking off a bucket list of winter trips and challenging exploration of new terrain.
