Norrøna Lyngen Softshell Jacket - Men's

Norrøna Lyngen Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 4, 2010

researched, fretted, etc. and I finally pulled the trigger on the Norrona. Up to this point I was strictlyArcteryx due to quality and "fit" vs. "fat" cut. Norrona Lyngen covers this department, but also has the long, triple-zipper arm vents -- ingenious. During a tour I'm a sweat hog on the ups and venting is key (I usually carry two baselayers, to give you an idea.) You can actually pull your arms through, stuff them in the pits and wear it like a vest during the climb. We take no breaks and push hard. No other softshell breathes like the Norrona.I would also add the wrist wrap is super comfortable and doesn't crimp circulation to the fingers in the glovers.In terms of wear, I've scraped, pinched and slid on this thing and it looks like the day I unwrapped it. No issues so far. I would say workmanship is on par with Arcteryx, OR.

Is the hood cut to fit over a ski and/or climbing helmet?

Origo Granite Peak Series Altimeter Watch

March 20, 2009

Karen - I've used it on two ski tours so far, ranging between 5K ft and 8600ft. I was careful to calibrate at the car. The alt, max and cumulative functions were accurate to within 25ft based on known elevations and GPS checks. I was really suprised.
Also, the barometer is excellent. Again, I calibrate it and it is accurate enough for weather changes and current conditions. Moving in and out of buildings can jack it up, but I only use it for the mountains.
All in all and for the money you should feel comfortable pulling the trigger.
One note: the first one sent to me didn't function, but BC OVERNIGHTED at their expense so I could have it for a tour in time. Great customer service.
