A very versatile waterproof jacket. This protective shell jacket is made for all-year mountaineering but works great for general outdoor activities all year, from trekking to ski touring. The jacket is made in a premium GORE-TEX® fabric, and Norrona uses this because it is the world-leading membrane for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), optimized breathability (RET 9), and total windproofness. The main fabric is a light, recycled 3-layer 30D mini-ripstop GORE-TEX® fabric that has a highly durable face material for its weight. In addition, the backer is smooth to prevent bulking and provides a pleasant hand touch. Key features include: Long underarm vents with two-way zipper, articulated sleeves, mid-mounted pockets, a storm hood fitted for a helmet with one-hand adjustment, and asymmetric cuffs with Velcro adjustment. The jacket has a technical fit with a Y-cut and articulated arms for good movement.
