wore it, amazing features, they really thought of everything. 5 stars for the jacket, though i was shipped the wrong color and now they're out and it won't be restocked....it's really nice though i would like to wear it when i'm not skiing as well, have to find a replacement, i'm not that comfortable walking around the city in a neon blue jacket.

This is one great jacket. I've been wearing it all the time since I got it two weeks ago. The jacket keeps you warm and dry no mater what the weather gods trow at you. Powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, wrist gaiters, superb waterproof zippers, a big internal pocket for stuffing all kinds of things, internal MP3/cellphone pocket which fits and iPhone perfectly is just some of the innovating features that makes this jacket worth every penny.

Btw, I love the insulated front pockets, and the color of the jackets are awesome... The blue and yellow is really nice. If you like it a bit more casual and not as flashy, go for the black.

Bought this as a warmer alternative to the Norrøna Stranda Jacket in connection with the Stranda Pant.
I love the fact that is has a high neck, so you can make sure cold wind does not come in anywhere!! It is a jacket that will keep you warm on any slope and although very flashy in the colour, I have no problem wearing a bright neon blue jacket arround town!!

This is a great coat. They have pockets everywhere, cinches in the right places, "extras," like the sleeve works as a fingerless glove (if you want) - little things that make you wonder why no one else thought of it. There is a design flaw, however. The placket (or whatever you call it) that rests behind the zipper to keep the air out is too soft of a fabric, and often turns in (leaving the zipper exposed). My plan is to buy some adhesive velcro, and run a line up the placket and the opposite side of the coat underneath the zipper. Also, if you care, the zipper (for the man's coat) is on the "other" side - i.e. the woman's side, so it takes a little getting used to.

LOVE this jacket. Was going to buy the Lofoten shell (w/out the insulation), but didn't have my size, so went with the insulated and GLAD I did. The jacket is warm, but not stifling, I ski with a t-shirt underneath when the temp is in the 20's and am warm but not hot.
Jacket has all sort of amazing features, from the removable powder skirt, to the goggle cloth that is attached inside the chest pocket, to the wire-rimmed hood that doesn't flop around and fits great around a helmet, wrist gaiters, BIG pit-zips to dump heat really quick. I'm 6'2" 165lbs and the Large fits me really well.
The fit is a little looser, not that euro-techy super-tight style, so it goes well with my baggy-ish ski pants...This is easily the best jacket I've ever owned.

That is one word to describe this jacket. The technical features of the Lofoten speak for themselves, Gore Performance Shell insulated with Primaloft = premium weather protection & warmth, and lightweight! I am a medium 99% of the time (5'10" & 140lbs) and the medium fits me perfect. Do keep the euro sizing in mind as the fit is a bit different. The cut is nice as the Lofoten does come for Norrona's freeride snow collection so it is not cut like a technical alpine shell. The removable zip out powder skirt, roomy fixed hood, wrist gaiters, and super smooth waterproof zips complete the Lofoten. To top it off there are some killer colors available, the sulphur spring and blue jewel are untouchable!

Norrona started with a blank slate when creating their outerwear.
My Fave Features: For starters, GORE-TEX-- extremely breathable and great hand. Second, Primaloft. It heats a freakin sleeping bag as soon as you put it on, but without the bulk. It's the highest construction quality on the market today-- like how Arcteryx used to be. Construction is very original, like extended sleeves to cover the tops of your hands (favorite), super ergonomic wrist gaiters, and a longer body. Other features include wire brimmed, helmet compatible hood, techy-tech waterproof zippers, and two way pit zips.
All Norrona is Euro (smaller) fit. I'm 6 feet tall, 160 lbs. and went with the Medium. It fits well, but should have gotten the large because I like my jackets looser.
PS... ALL the colors are much more vibrant than pictured on the site. The Sulfur color is literally HI-LITER Lemon Lime--wear your sunglasses!
