Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Shell Pant - Women's

Magenta purple is beyond dreamy. I'm super comfortable in a medium at 5'9" 150 lbs. The butt looks very cute when it is synched at the waist a little. Completely impervious to the wind, this shell impresses me like no other. The reinforcement around the ankles is totally heavy duty. And the pockets! Yay for those pockets!!

Hey,

won't be making this long. So all in all these pants are rock solid. The seams are perfect, the fit is perfect, the color is perfect, the cut is perfect. I can not praise these pants enough. I feel as if I could quite happily take them to the moon and back. They're light and don't hinder your movement in anyway as will sometimes we with bibs.

These will get you through what ever you put them to. Rock solid, top notch product here and I recommend them to anyone looking for the cream of the crop.

Now I just need to get my hands on the Norrona Lofoten jacket!

Sweet design, light weight..but strong enough to rip through the trees without worrying! I just spent 5 days in the backcountry with these pants and love them- side zips vent perfectly, and the waist zips off for simple bathroom stops without having to remove ANY layers. I have been looking for a good bib set up and this is it. I only wish I could also get the jacket and perhpaps a second pair of pants in the event these ever wear out.. I don't think I will ever want another pant.

These seem to run really large. X-Large too big. Large was perfect.

I tried Arcteryx bibs and Arcteryx Stingray pants. I found Lofoten superior. Finishings were the same at the naked eye, seams and zips look equally waterproof and neat. they are Gore-tex pro (stingrays are not); they feel really comfortable (bibs do not). They have the bottom leg in a very sturdy fabric (stingrays do not): this was important because my last pants were cut just above the boot. They are also cleverly designed because you can zip bib attachments on or off, and they can zip or not zip even to their jacket (similarly cleverly designed). Above all they look amazing (I bought the atoll color). in short, i was pretty sure i was going to buy stingrays, until i tried these on, then it was a clear choice. Arcteryx devotees present all agreed!

I haven't used them yet but have been happily wearing them around the house. They fit perfectly (I ordered a large even though I was at the high end of the sizing) and are well constructed and seem extremly durable. They are much better quality than either the MEC brand or Arcteryx bib style pants. I am looking forward to taking them out in some West Coast weather and will be ver suprised if I get enven a hint of wet. The bib is removable and extendable so you can pick your level of coverage. The colour is exactly what I was expecting, I only wish that I had ordered the jacket aas well.

I reviewed the womens jacket and rated them a 5. As for the pants I would go 5+. These pants are bomb proof and will handle anything you throw at them. I have the Arcteryx bibs and would def. get the Norrona over Arcteryx.

Foe my wife they run a little long in the leg, but with ski boots on its no big deal. They are wide enough for snowbaord boots.

To get the best from Norrona you need to buy the jacket and pants as the ski skirt can be zipped into the pants making it an all in one without that 80's style screaming "Old Skool"

If my Arcteryx ever gets stolen or tears (unlikely) I will def match my wife on the slopes with Norrona.
