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

Item #NRA0024 | 39 in Stock

best around

By Ranked #353 - Women's Ski Pants March 28, 2008

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!

A better comparison would be the Arc'teryx Scimitar bib, not the Stingray.
