Norrøna Falketind Aero 10 Down Jacket - Women's - 2010 BCS

I'm guilty of getting downright giddy about this jacket. The Sapphire Blue color is gorgeous, and the jacket is very warm and cozy, and just as importantly, very well made as you'd expect from Norrona. The down fill printed on the inside of the jacket is 750, and the jacket is pretty lightweight with a more durable looking material than some ultralight type down jackets. The fit is definitely generous. I'm 5'5" 130lbs. with about a 34" chest and 29" waist. While I most often buy medium jackets in most outdoor brands, I went with a Small on this jacket, and it is still roomy. I think the XS would have fit me still. I can definitely wear some layers underneath my small. I love the longer cut. My puffy that this is replacing was a shorter cut, and I always seemed to get cold around my lower back. I'm certain this will not be a problem with this jacket. Also, the collar comes up nice and high, and you can really burrow in. The front inside of the collar has a soft, brushed fleece lining which is a great detail. The hood on this jacket is serious. There is just as much down in it as the body, and there is a bit of a brim, which probably helps keep the hood from drooping down over your eyes. The jacket is light enough that I wouldn't hesitate to throw it in my pack when ski touring on cold days for some warmth just in case something when wrong. In my opinion it is too warm for skiing, and I would be worried about tearing the fabric. Overall I'm thrilled with the Falketind and know I will be much warmer hanging out in the evening on my next camping trip, and walking the dog and around town.

this jacket is great! we had a deep freeze here recently and it kept me warm and dry while exercising in -12 degree weather. it runs a little big, but that is great for layering. i highly recommend this jacket.

LOVE this jacket. One word of warning...if you have your hood on over your helmet you can't really hear..This is a great jacket. I love the pink interior and the grosgrain detail along the zipper. I wish it had a real compression sack included. It comes with a rather large mesh storage sack.The visor on the hood is really nice.I am 5'8" and I took a medium. Sleeves are perfect. Hits me just right at the mid hip range. Quite roomy inside. All in all, a great jacket.

I'm 5' 8", 138 lbs. I was looking for a jacket that would fit well with a layer or scarf. This jacket feels like a warm hug.

It's warmer than my marmot mountain down jacket and i can see with the hood on and i don't look like the michelin man anymore. (750 fill written on jacket)

Also, none of the feathers are seen on the outside of the jacket - it's made very well. It also comes in its own mesh bag. I got the caviar color and the inside of the jacket is pink.

Now they just need to make matching pants.
