What is the Norrona Men's Lofoten Down800 Anorak Jacket?
The Norrona Men's Down800 is an anorak jacket crafted for freeriding yet adaptable to any outdoor activity. Whether tackling the slopes or going for a brisk hike, this anorak provides exceptional warmth and comfort.
What is it made of?
The Norrona Lofoten Down800 Anorak is made of 20D 100% recycled nylon, a material chosen for its blend of durability and lightweight properties. The "20D" refers to the denier count, indicating a very fine thread that results in a light yet strong fabric. Thanks to that, the anorak is not only easy to pack and carry but also robust enough to withstand the demands of outdoor activities.
This recycled nylon fabric is also aerodownproof. It securely holds down insulation while maintaining breathability and resilience. The aerodownproof quality ensures that the down filling remains intact within the jacket, preventing it from escaping and thus preserving the garment's insulating properties.
Inside the anorak, the insulation consists of Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified 800+ fill power down. The high fill power means the jacket has a lot of fluffiness and can trap a lot of air. This loft makes the jacket very warm without being heavy. So, you get excellent warmth without the extra weight.
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification ensures that the down used in products is ethically sourced.
The RDS certification guarantees that the birds are not subjected to unnecessary harm, such as live-plucking or force-feeding. It also requires a transparent and traceable supply chain so consumers can trust that the down in their jackets has been responsibly sourced. This certification is crucial for maintaining high animal welfare standards and assuring consumers that their purchase supports ethical practices.
Additionally, the materials used in this jacket are Bluesign certified. This certification aims to make textile products safer and lessen their negative environmental impact. Bluesign focuses on the entire production process, eliminating harmful chemicals and promoting more sustainable and safe manufacturing practices.
What are its features?
The jacket features articulated elbows designed to follow the natural bend of your arms. This tailoring technique enhances freedom of movement and flexibility, making it easier to perform activities that require a wide range of arm motions, such as climbing or skiing.
The anorak features a front zip with an extra slider at the bottom, allowing for adjustable ventilation. When you start to get warm, you can open the zipper from the bottom to let in cool air, which helps regulate your temperature during intense activities like skiing or snowboarding.
Additionally, the anorak has a zipped side opening, which also aids in ventilation. This side zipper allows you to increase airflow when needed, providing additional ways to cool down and maintain comfort.
The storm hood is designed to fit comfortably over a freeride helmet, providing full protection without restricting movement. It features a one-hand adjustment system, which allows you to quickly tighten or loosen the hood using just one hand, even while wearing gloves.
When it comes to storage, the Norrona Lofoten comes with multiple pockets. The two zippered chest pockets are ideal for storing small essential items like your phone, GPS device, or snacks, keeping them within easy reach.
The two hand-warming pockets provide a cosy place to warm your hands in cold conditions, and they're also great for stashing items like gloves, maps, or energy bars.
Additionally, there's an inner pocket equipped with a key hook. This pocket offers a secure spot for valuables such as your keys or wallet. The key hook ensures your keys stay in place, so you don't have to worry about losing them during outdoor adventures.
Thanks to the exterior hang loop you can easily hang the jacket when not used, whether at home, in a locker, or on a gear rack. This feature helps keep the jacket organised and ready for your next adventure.
The jacket has a longer cut in the back for extra protection. This design ensures better coverage during activities such as skiing or snowboarding, preventing your back from being exposed to cold or wet conditions.
An inner placket runs along the inside of the front zipper to prevent cold spots and drafts. This additional layer helps maintain a consistent temperature inside the jacket, providing extra warmth and comfort in windy or cold conditions.
