What is the Norrona Men's Tamok Down750 Hooded Jacket?
The Norrona Tamok Down750 Jacket is your go-to outerwear for backcountry freeride sessions. It's also perfect for cold-weather outdoor activities, delivering unbeatable weather protection. It's crafted with premium materials and designed to keep you warm, comfortable, and stylish on and off the slopes.
What is it made of?
The Norrona Tamok Down750 jacket is made of high-quality materials that offer comfort and protection in various conditions.
The main fabric of the jacket is a down-proof 45D 100% recycled Nylon. This material is tightly woven to prevent the down feathers from escaping, ensuring the jacket retains its insulating properties.
The "45D" refers to the thickness and durability of the fabric, whereas "D" stands for denier, a measure of the fabric's density. This fabric is not only windproof, providing excellent protection against cold winds, but also highly water-resistant.
Despite its technical features, it has a cotton-like look and feel, making it comfortable and stylish.
In addition to these qualities, the fabric has been treated with a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. PFC stands for perfluorocarbons, chemicals commonly used in water-repellent treatments but can harm the environment. PFC-free DWR means that the water-repellent treatment on this jacket does not contain these harmful chemicals, making it a more eco-conscious choice. This treatment ensures water beads up and rolls off the fabric, keeping the wearer drier in light rain or snow.
The shoulders of the jacket are reinforced with a woven 70Dx150D polyester fabric with a suede-like feel.
This reinforcement provides extra durability and protection in areas more prone to wear and tear while also giving the jacket a distinctive and stylish look.
Inside the jacket, you'll find high-quality, RDS-certified 750fp down. "RDS" stands for Responsible Down Standard, a certification that ensures the down used in the jacket is sourced from animals that have been treated ethically and humanely. This standard prohibits practices such as live-plucking and force-feeding, ensuring that the ducks and geese providing the down are treated with respect and care throughout their lives.
The "750fp" refers to the down's fill power, which measures its insulating capability. Higher fill power means better insulation; in this case, 750 fill power indicates that the down is very effective at trapping heat, making the jacket extremely warm.
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.
Thanks to an asymmetric cut with a longer back, the jacket ensures better coverage and protection from the elements. During activities such as skiing, snowboarding, or climbing, where the body is frequently bent forward, the longer design prevents your back from being exposed to cold or wet conditions, keeping you warmer and drier throughout your adventures.
The storm hood is designed to fit comfortably over a freeriding helmet, providing full protection without compromising fit or mobility. The one-hand adjustment system allows you to quickly tighten or loosen the hood with one hand, making it convenient to adjust on the fly, which is beneficial in challenging conditions.
To prevent chafing and discomfort around the chin and neck area, a soft brushed chin protection is integrated into the top of the front zipper. This soft fabric ensures the zipper does not irritate your skin, even when fully zipped up in cold weather.
The jacket includes hand-warming pockets with zipper closures positioned for easy access. These pockets are lined to provide warmth and are perfect for keeping your hands toasty in cold weather.
A chest pocket with a zipper closure provides secure and convenient storage for small essentials like a phone, map, or energy bar.
With the one-hand hem adjustment, you can quickly and easily tighten or loosen the jacket's hem. This feature helps seal out cold air and retain warmth, providing a customisable fit that can be adjusted on the go.
The sleeve ends feature internal stretch cuffs that provide a snug fit around your wrists. These cuffs help keep out cold air and snow while preventing the sleeves from riding up during movement.
The jacket also features a YKK front zipper, which is known for its durability and smooth operation. The 4mm size indicates a robust, reliable zipper that can withstand frequent use during harsh conditions.
