To both articulate and define its commitment to quality, function, and innovative design, Norrøna coined the term Loaded Minimalism in 2002. As a design principle, Loaded Minimalism embraces clean, sleek looks while still incorporating function-driven features and the quality required to perform in the most challenging weather conditions. When Norrøna launched the Lofoten concept in 2004—a collection of jackets, pants, and insulation pieces designed specifically for freeride skiing—it was clear that Norrøna designers had fully embraced the idea of Loaded Minimalism.<br><br>Today, Norrøna is still run by the Jørgensen family and based in Norway. They continue to offer functional designs in their signature palette of bright colors for men, women, and kids who seek the highest quality in outdoor clothing. Norrøna’s line includes not only jackets and pants for skiing and mountaineering, but insulation pieces, gloves, shorts, and even apparel for mountain biking—categorizing concepts with names like Lofoten for backcountry skiing, Bitihorn for trekking, Trollveggen for mountain workwear, and /29 for its urban lifestyle apparel. But whatever use you’re putting your Norrøna products to or wherever you’re putting them to the test, you can count on finding smart design and impressive durability, spiced with a dash of eye-catching European style.
