Epic days in the backcountry require the waterproof breathable protection of the Norrøna Men’s Narvik Gore-Tex Performance Shell Pant. This loose-fit freeride pant helps you stay dry and comfortable no matter what conditions you encounter. Reinforced ankle patches stand up to abuse from ski edges and boots, and the thigh vent zips help you dump heat when you’re skinning up to the ridge. Norrøna also added a thigh cargo pocket and interior stash pocket for your small essentials.
Backcountry.com is the exclusive US distributor for Norrona products
Bottom Line: Gore-Tex performance with a relaxed, freeride fit.
What size should I get and what is the material like(stiff, crinkly, lighter/heavier, durable)?
195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for baggy fit but not ballooning in ass and waist.
Other pant sizing comparisons for me: Arcteryx Stingray-L is too narrow/short, XL is too fat in ass and still could be longer Burton AK-L would be perfect if they came 2" or more longer. Patagonia Powder Bowl-L is good fit, could be a little baggier This years Orage Gordon in XL is a perfect fit.
How would this pant compare too the others in sizing? L or XL?
Compared to the Arc'teryx Beta AR, I see a few differences. The Beta AR is made from Gore Pro-Shell, these are made with Performance, which is a less breathable/durable Gore product. Arc'teryx Beta AR pants also use full length side zips for max ventilation and putting on over boots. Kevlar insteps patches on the Beta AR add huge durability. Lastly, and this may answer your last question. 5 year warranty on the Norrona; Lifetime warranty on the Beta AR.
These pants have a great articulated fit without looking like you are going to climb Everest after you get off the ski hill. Not that they could not stand up to the rigors of high altitude abuse, because surely they can with the Gore Tex XCR 3 layer fabric and heavily reinforced ankle patches, but let's face it, we don't always want to LOOK like we are Everest-bound... even though we may want the tech that goes ALONG with being Everest-bound. Anyways, a solid purchase from a solid company. It is amazing to me that Norrona has not blown up as much as they should have here in the States, but the secret may be out of the bag now so get em while they are hot....
Are these pants 3 layer? Hardshell or softshell? I take it they will also zip into the lofoten jacket?right on, thanks for the reply. now the choice is another lofoten one piece, or lofoten jacket and pants
These pants are Gore-Tex XCR 3L. They are a hardshell material and are not insulated. They are articulated and the cut is great. They are more of a freeride cut, as opposed to say an alpinist cut, but they are not overly baggy. They do zip into all compatible Norrona jackets. I have the Stranda and it is a well thought out zip in/zip out/zipp off attachment that goes on the ski pants and into the jacket.
