Norrøna Narvik Gore-Tex Comfort Shell Jacket - Men's

Cut down on bulk and stay protected when you wear the Norrøna Men's Narvik Comfortweld Gore-Tex Jacket into the backcountry. Norrøna used waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Soft Shell to keep you comfortable without restricting movement. This stretchy softshell not only protects you from Momma Nature's worst weather, it also lets you posthole up a ridge without overheating and schuss down the slopes without feeling constricted. Chest vent zips let you dump heat on the skin up, and jacket-to-pants interface seals out the snow on a powder day.

  • Backcountry.com is the exclusive US distributor for Norrona products

Bottom Line: Narvik is Norwegian for badass ski jacket (we made that up).

Is the outer hardshell material of this jacket very similar to

Is the outer hardshell material of this jacket very similar to the Arcteryx Stingray or more like Burton AK Contnuum(Soft Shell)? And does this have an alpinist cut(shorter in front/longer in back)? Zipper length? Looking for around 32".

Should I go L or XL?

195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for a baggier fit.

Other jacket sizing comparisons:
Burton AK-L is pretty much the most perfect fit I have found in body/arm length and perfect baggyness/chest sizing.
Arcteryx Stingray-XL is closest but don't like the shorter front/longer back, and zipper of only 30" so yeah, too short.
North Face Sedition-XL is pretty good fit, just a touch big.

How does the fit compare, most specifically to the Burton AK?

Thank you.

the material is closer to the burton ak continuum, but it is gore, so its not exactly the same.

i love this shell. i have been in some gnarly storms in this thing and it has never let me down.

6'2" and 195, i would go XL, especially if you want it to be roomy.

very good jacket

I bought size XL. Am 6'2" 210 lbs and it fits perfectly. My only complaint is that the hood is a tad small to fit over a helmet. Can be done but it is tight. Have used the jacket for skiing and snowboarding. perfect weight for a shell. looks good too.

Sorry about the watermark, but I'm too cheap to buy this photo. Cruisin' on a warm sunny day with the best softshell on the market.

I noticed this jacket is very similar to the norrøna stranda jacket but its 100 dollar more expensive, what the difference in the jackets? you get anything more for the money?

They are two completely different jackets. The Narvik is a sofshell with no insulation, great for layering during activities that make you sweat. It is super breathable. The Stranda is an insulated jacket that is good for resort skiing, but will probably be too warm for any activity that is really going to get your sweat on.

Athletic fit

By:
February 20, 2009

I didn't think the fit was small. Fit is similar to Arc'teryx Alpha, except Narvik sleeves slightly longer and Alpha chest slightly wider, otherwise sizes comparable. Length is shortish on both, if you're tall, but that can be good depending on use and preference. If you like trim athletic fit, you may not want to size up. I ordered L and XL to compare, I like L. I'm 6'3" 190lbs.

Does the powder skirt of this jacket have hooks or other means

Does the powder skirt of this jacket have hooks or other means of attaching to pants that are not necessarily made by Norrona?ThanksNick

The powder skirt is attached to the coat via a smallish zipper that runs around the interior of the coat, but does not have hooks or anything. The zipper allows you to connect the coat to a pair of Norrona pants forming a pretty bomber snow blocking connection. You can completely remove the powder skirt from the coat if you desire as well. Could come in handy for Fall backpacking trips or something of that nature.

Move over Arc'Teryx

By: Backcountry.com Employee
February 20, 2009

In my opinion Norrona has lain claim to the throne. I own two Norronas (the Lofoten Insulated jacket, and the Narvik), and I can't say enough about how amazing they are. This jacket is warm, waterproof, but incredibly breathable. I wear it for BC days (and resort days in the 30's with a Patagonia R1 underneath) and don't even have to open the pit-zips on the uphills, and it's bomber on the way down (great powder skirt, the most waterproof softshell I've ever seen). Quality construction, excellent fit (I am 6'2", 165lbs and wear the large), not too baggy, not too tight, great colors (***NOTE THAT THE "METAL" COLOR IS SLIGHTLY GRAYER THAN IT APPEARS ON THE SITE). The little things make the jacket: The hood is large enough for a helmet, but easily adjustable for just your head, the wrist gaiters are key for skiing, the diagonally cut wrist openings allow your thumbs to move around when you're got gloves on, the draw cords are easily pulled with one hand to adjust the fit...I could go on and on. It's expensive, but absolutely worth the money if you're looking for a jacket that is truly top of the line.
