What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This is my go-to jacket for cold, dry freeride days when breathability is key. The flex1 fabric keeps me protected from wind without trapping too much heat, and the fit works perfectly over midlayers. Pit zips and the storm hood are game-changers for variable mountain weather."We turn to the Norrøna Lofoten Flex1 Jacket when the day’s objective calls for high-output riding and we need freedom to move. Designed for big mountain freeride, this soft shell delivers windproof protection, rugged durability, and unbeatable breathability—ideal for dry, cold powder days or fast-paced ski touring missions. Crafted from Norrøna’s premium flex1 double weave fabric, it offers a tough exterior with a soft, structured interior that wicks moisture and allows excess heat to escape. The storm hood fits easily over a freeride helmet, underarm zips help regulate temperature, and articulated elbows keep our movements unrestricted. A longer drop-tail cut, integrated snow skirt, and asymmetric cuffs seal out spindrift, while thoughtful storage—including a radio pocket, harness-compatible chest pockets, and an interior goggle wipe—makes it a true freeride workhorse.
