Norrona Men's Falketind GTX Paclite Jacket Indigo Night

SPACE SAVING PERFORMANCE The Norrona Falketind Paclite Jacket is crafted for maximum packability, allowing it to be stowed away with ease and using minimal space. Its two-layer laminate construction uses GORE-TEX PACLITE® fabric, which bonds the GORE-TEX membrane directly to the outer shell. This design eliminates the need for a separate lining, keeping the jacket lightweight and compact. Thie Falketind Paclite excels in climbing, hiking, or any fast-moving activity where weight and space matter most.

What is the Norrona Men's Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket?

The Norrona Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket is your ultimate shield against the elements, designed for the adventurous spirit. Whether mountaineering, trekking, or ski touring, this jacket is your all-year ally. It offers excellent protection without compromising on breathability or comfort.

What is it made of?

This jacket is made from a fabric called GORE-TEX Paclite Plus. It's super soft and lightweight (only 75 grams per square meter).

The fabric is also tough as it has tiny reinforcements to stop rips, and it's made from recycled nylon, which lessens bad environmental impact.

Even though it's thin and easy to pack, it's still strong and durable. Plus, it comes with a Gore-Tex, GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, which ensures you stay dry even in wet conditions. This membrane also provides protection from cold winds and excellent breathability, meaning that moisture vapour from sweat can escape from inside the jacket, keeping you comfortable during physical activities.

The jacket also features printed dots on the back, designed with a 3D function. These dots maintain a slight gap between the fabric and your body, enhancing comfort and breathability. Additionally, they create increased friction and a resilient, non-adhesive interior, ensuring a more pleasant wearing experience and preventing any uncomfortable sticking.

What are its features?

This jacket comes with a Helmet-Compatible Hood: This hood is designed to fit under your helmet. With convenient one-handed adjustments, it stays securely in place, keeping you protected and focused on your outdoor pursuits.

The cuffs and bottom hem of the jacket have Velcro straps and elastic bands, allowing you to customise the fit according to your preferences. This helps keep out wind, rain, and snow, ensuring you stay warmer and drier.

Need to stash some essentials or cool down during intense activities? The jacket comes with a handy zippered chest pocket for your keys, phone, or snacks. Plus, the front chest ventilation zippers let you control airflow, keeping you comfortable on the move.

The jacket's design includes a Y-shaped cut and articulated arms, meaning it's tailored to move with your body. This design is handy when climbing or reaching for holds, ensuring total freedom of movement without feeling restricted.

The jacket has a longer back, providing extra coverage and protection, especially when bending over or sitting down. This feature keeps your lower back warm and dry, even in wet or snowy conditions.

No more irritating chafing, especially when you're wearing a backpack. The jacket is cleverly constructed without shoulder seams, minimising friction and discomfort, so you can focus on enjoying your outdoor adventures without any distractions.

Is the Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket suitable for all-weather conditions? The Falketind does a great job at keeping you dry with its 28,000 mm water column and windproofing, making it perfect for milder to moderate weather. However, if you’re caught in heavy, constant rain or a winter storm, it won’t offer the same level of protection as a more heavy-duty jacket.
It’s lighter than some of the toughest waterproof options, so while it’ll keep you dry in lighter rain, you might feel a little chillier if you’re out in bad weather for a long time. If you're expecting really rough conditions, you might want to consider a jacket that’s designed for those extreme situations.

Sizing and Layering When it comes to sizing, the Falketind is pretty true to size, which is always a win. Most people find it fits just as expected, so you won't have to worry about guessing your size. That said, if you plan on layering up with thicker mid-layers underneath, you might want to size up for a little extra room. This way, you'll move comfortably without feeling too restricted.
The jacket does have a slim fit, especially around the torso, which helps keep the weight and bulk down. It's designed to be sleek and streamlined, which is great for active use, but if you like to pile on the layers, you might feel a little tight around the chest or shoulders. So, while it's perfect for wearing over a lightweight base layer or even a thin fleece, you may want to go up a size if you plan to throw on a heavier jacket or sweater underneath.

How does the Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket perform during winter activities? If you're heading out into milder winter conditions, the Falketind is definitely up to the task, especially if you're into active winter pursuits like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or alpine touring. It's the perfect jacket for those high-energy activities where you're moving a lot but still need some protection from the elements.
At Trekitt, we really love that when you wear the Falketind Paclite Gore-Tex Jacket, you don't feel like you're wearing a heavy, bulky winter jacket. The lightweight design and breathability keep things comfortable as you work up a sweat, but the Gore-Tex Paclite still does a great job of keeping the wind and light snow out, so you're always protected without feeling weighed down.
