Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Performance Shell Insulated Jacket - Men's
Innovative, Original, BETTER than the rest

Norrona started with a blank slate when creating their outerwear.
My Fave Features: For starters, GORE-TEX-- extremely breathable and great hand. Second, Primaloft. It heats a freakin sleeping bag as soon as you put it on, but without the bulk. It's the highest construction quality on the market today-- like how Arcteryx used to be. Construction is very original, like extended sleeves to cover the tops of your hands (favorite), super ergonomic wrist gaiters, and a longer body. Other features include wire brimmed, helmet compatible hood, techy-tech waterproof zippers, and two way pit zips.
All Norrona is Euro (smaller) fit. I'm 6 feet tall, 160 lbs. and went with the Medium. It fits well, but should have gotten the large because I like my jackets looser.
PS... ALL the colors are much more vibrant than pictured on the site. The Sulfur color is literally HI-LITER Lemon Lime--wear your sunglasses!
