Norrøna Lofoten Jackets
Mens and womens Norrøna Lofoten shell jackets are made for freeriding but work perfectly for general ski/snowboard activities on and off-slope as well as general outdoor activities like trekking and mountaineering.Norrøna Lofoten jackets and pants are made with GORE-TEX® PRO. Norrøna use it because it’s the world-leading fabric for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), optimized breathability, and total windproofing.
The fabric is a 3-layer plain weave 70D GORE-TEX® PRO most breathable (RET 6) fabric with a recycled nylon face. This ensures durable, reliable weather protection and optimized breathability perfect for active movement. It has a microgrid solution-dyed backer.

Norrøna Lofoten Pants
The main fabric is an exceptionally durable 3-layer 200D GORE-TEX® PRO most rugged (RET 6-9) fabric with a recycled face fabric for heavy-duty protection. The bottom leg is reinforced with a 200D Vectran fabric to increase durability where the pants tend to rub against boots or steel edges.
Key features include two thigh cargo pockets with easy access, a zippered back pocket, a small key/card pocket, ¾ length thigh ventilation with two-way zippers, articulated legs, snap button tightening around the ankles to accommodate ski and snowboard boots, and snow gaiters.

The pants have a regular fit with articulated knees for excellent mobility and are compatible with all Norrøna bibs and powder skirts.
