Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Shell Jacket - Men's
True Shell
By Chillytea
Ranked #2517 - Men's Technical Shells
February 21, 2008
Great jacket. To echo Flatlander, the cut of the collar and hood are great for good coverage when up or down. It is a pure shell, though, no warmth at all, just complete water- and windproofness - great for backcountry layering, but not a catch-all resort jacket. I like the cut, too, it isn't a big tent like a lot of other shells, and it doesn't have the standard 2-tone color scheme like all the other technical jackets. Overall, I give it a 4 1/2 star rating, not 5, because it's a little pricey.
