It's breathable, surprisingly warm for how light it feels, and layers smoothly under a shell. The stretchy side panels keep me mobile, and the thumbholes help lock in heat without bunching sleeves under gloves. It's become my year-round go-to midlayer."We reach for the Falketind warm2 Jacket when we need a midlayer that can handle serious mountain missions but also works just as well for everyday hikes and cool-weather travel. Made by Norrona, this fleece jacket strikes a balance between warmth, breathability, and packability-ideal for alpine layering in ever-changing conditions. Whether we're chasing turns in the backcountry or heading out for a shoulder-season trek, it adds reliable warmth without the bulk. The warm2 fabric stands out for its quick-drying performance and excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, and the blend of recycled polyester and elastane ensures sustainable comfort with just the right stretch.
