High style but 'light' for the price

Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Pro Shell Jacket - Men's

Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Pro Shell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 October 21, 2009

Note: Mostly in comparison to my Arcteryx Alpha SV jacket.

Pros: Very stylin with the contrast zips; Tighter fit (European cut) if you want something smaller than the Arcteryx shells; totally waterproof; decent wind protection; very light; pockets are relatively shallow but at least they are regular side pockets (vs. the cross-chest pockets found in the Alpha)
Cons: Very thin for Gore-Tex Pro Shell - MUCH thinner than the Alpha and feels more like 2-layer jacket; the wire rim on the hood drops down when cinched - while the Alpha stays out of your eyes by forming into a "cap"; main zipper catches sometimes so can't zip up with one hand

Overall: High style but definitely less jacket for your money than the Arcteryx shells

Very fitted

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

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

Rating for this product: 4 March 20, 2009

Got this jacket for my wife - and it was pretty sweet. I'd say quality is at par with Arcteryx (I own 3 Arcteryx jackets) and the colors are stylin. However, the cut was a bit small/too fitted and when we sized up, the arms were too long (definitely longer than TNF jackets)... so we ended up returning it. Dang those tall Norwegians!
