What is the Norrona Men's Falketind Dri1 Jacket?

The Falketind dri1 Jacket is a versatile, lightweight shell for all-year mountaineering and outdoor activities. It is easy to pack and carry and offers waterproof and breathable protection without adding bulk. Whether hiking, climbing, or ski touring, the Falketind dri1 is made to adapt to changing conditions while keeping you dry and comfy.

What is it made of?

The Falketind Dri1 jacket is made from Norrona's dri1 fabric, composed of 100% post-consumer recycled nylon sourced from Bureo yarns.

Post-consumer recycled nylon comes from materials that have already had a life as a consumer product—such as discarded fishing nets, plastic bottles, or textile waste—before being repurposed. This approach helps reduce waste and environmental impact by diverting these materials from landfills or oceans.

Bureo is known for its mission to create solutions to the plastic pollution problem in our oceans. They collect discarded fishing nets, a major contributor to ocean waste, and transform them into high-quality nylon yarns. These yarns are then woven into durable, lightweight fabrics. By using Bureo yarns, the jacket not only supports a circular economy but also provides the same level of durability and performance you'd expect from traditional nylon.

The dri1 fabric is very breathable, with a moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) of 20,000g. This means sweat and moisture can escape easily, keeping you dry and comfortable even during intense activities. Whether hiking uphill or caught in a sudden downpour, the jacket ensures you won't feel clammy or overheated.

The jacket boasts a waterproof rating of 20,000mm, known as the hydrostatic head. This measurement shows how well the fabric can withstand water pressure before leaks. A hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm means that the fabric can hold a 20,000mm (or 20-meter) high water column before any moisture starts seeping through. This level of protection provides excellent resistance to heavy rain and wet conditions, ensuring that no matter how intense the weather gets, water will stay out, and you'll stay dry.

The fabric's interior is designed to create a microclimate that promotes optimal comfort against your skin, regulating temperature and wicking moisture away.

Additionally, the jacket features a PFC-free impregnation, providing a layer of water resistance that is effective and more eco-conscious, as it avoids harmful perfluorinated chemicals.

What are its features?

The Norrona Falketind dri1 Jacket is designed with thoughtful, technical features that make outdoor adventures more comfortable and convenient. Its helmet-compatible hood can be adjusted with just one hand. Whether you're climbing, biking, or caught in a sudden downpour, you can quickly adapt the hood to fit snugly over your helmet or head without having to stop what you're doing.

The jacket also features a Y-cut design and articulated arms, which means it is tailored to enhance freedom of movement. These features make activities like climbing, hiking, or scrambling feel natural and unrestricted.

The jacket's back cut is a bit longer, providing extra protection from the elements, particularly when you're bending over, crouching, or carrying a backpack. This longer hem helps keep your lower back covered and prevents wind or rain from sneaking in. Plus, the absence of seams on the shoulders reduces the risk of chafing when wearing a pack on long treks.

For added customisation, the adjustable Velcro cuffs allow you to secure the sleeves tightly around your wrists to keep wind and rain out or loosen them when you need more airflow.

The elastic bottom hem further ensures the jacket stays put and sealed against the elements. And when you need to cool down quickly, the zippered chest vents let you control your ventilation and temperature without unzipping the entire jacket.

Lastly, the zippered chest pocket is perfect for keeping essentials like your phone, keys, or snacks close at hand. It provides secure storage, so you don't have to worry about anything falling out when moving.
