Norrøna released these product descriptions:
falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket for men and women
“This ultralight jacket is made with Gore-Tex Paclite Plus fabric – a soft, lightweight (75/g m2) tiny rip-stop fabric with a 20D recycled nylon face. It’s extremely packable, thin and lightweight while being waterproof, windproof and offers excellent breathability. The jacket has printed dots on the backer, with a 3D function to keep distance to the body and create higher friction and a less sticky durable interior. Key features include a helmet-compatible hood with one-hand adjustment, cuffs with Velcro adjustments, an elastic bottom hem, zippered chest pocket, and front chest ventilation. The jacket has a technical fit with a Y-cut and articulated arms for optimum movement while climbing. A longer cut in the back ensures extra protection and no seams on the shoulders prevent chafing when wearing a backpack.”
falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Pant for men and women
“These lightweight and fully waterproof pants are designed for year-round use and are packable enough to always keep in your pack. The bottom of the pants is made with a 30D 3L Gore-Tex to increase durability where the pants tend to rub against boots. Main features include a Custom-fit waist system, zippered thigh pocket with a mesh pocket, three quarter side zippers for flexible ventilation and easy on-and-off, a bootlace hook, and Velcro adjustment on the ankles.”
falketind Aero60 Hood Jacket for men and women
“This packable wind jacket is made for lightweight mountaineering but excels in other mid-to- high-intensity activities ranging from trail running to ski touring. The aero60 windshield fabric offers the perfect balance between breathability, windproofness, durability, and weight. The lightweight recycled ripstop nylon has a partially open weave construction for excellent moisture vapor transport during aerobic activities.”
falketind warm2 Octa Hood Jacket for men and women
“Designed for all-year mountain sports, this jacket uses an innovative bonded fabric technology, Octa liner, to provide high-quality lightweight insulation and allow for continuous effective moisture transfer, and the 100 percent recycled fine-knitted recycled polyester warm2 face fabric ensures warmth and wind resistance. Main features include a beanie-compatible hood, elastic piping around the face, a chest pocket, two hand pockets, and cuffs with thumb holes.”
falketind rugged slim Pant for women
“Norrøna’s most durable, breathable softshell pants for climbing and trekking. The main material is a 90D recycled double weave flex1 fabric for superior flexibility and is treated with PFC-free DQR to provide extra wind and water resistance. The thighs, knees and seat are reinforced with a 160D recycled flex fabric to provide extra protection on exposed areas, making make the pants perfect for changing conditions.”
