Norrona Lofoten GORE-TEX Jacket - Men's

Lofoten GORE-TEX Jacket delivers storm-ready protection with a packable freeride design

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket is one of the few that truly bridges backcountry and resort needs. It’s bomber in storms thanks to the GORE-TEX shell and stays surprisingly light and breathable on tours. I do wish the pocket layout was more intuitive, but if you’re looking for a top-tier freeride shell, this one can hang in any conditions."

From icy chairlift rides to long ascents through powder-choked terrain, the Norrona Lofoten GORE-TEX Jacket keeps us protected when winter shows its teeth. This lightweight, packable shell is Norrona’s top-selling ski jacket, and for good reason—it’s built with rugged ePE GORE-TEX that shrugs off harsh winds and dumping snow without compromising breathability on high-output tours.

The freeride-inspired fit offers room for layering while maintaining mobility, and the three-layer construction reduces bulk without sacrificing durability. When things heat up, underarm vents dump heat fast, and a removable powder skirt, adjustable cuffs, and helmet-compatible hood all dial in the protection when the storm rolls in. Whether we’re chasing steep lines or lapping sidecountry stash zones, the Lofoten is the outer shell we rely on when the snow gets serious.

Large body

Familiarity:: I returned this product before using it
Size Bought:: L
Height:: 6' 4"
Weight:: 165

I’m tall and skinny, but have a 40” chest and normally wear a L jacket. The chest and body of this is unexpectedly large (much more of an American fit than I was expecting). Looked like a big bag with arms sticking out. The arms are nice and long, but I’m going to try a medium. Don’t size up … I’ll update with the medium and have 3 stars bc of fit for now.

Great jacket, poor design

Familiarity:: I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:: Large
Weight:: 190

This is my first Noronna jacket. So far it has performed really well. It does great in windy , cold conditions and is surprisingly warm. The pocket design is probably the worst of any jacket I’ve ever owned. The hand pockets are too far back and are aligned to the pit vents. The result is that I am constantly grabbing the wrong zippers. There is only one small internal pocket, which is disappointing.
